POWERS (FX) - Vinnie Jones ("The Cape") is sticking with the superhero genre as the actor has joined the cast of the drama pilot, about "a homicide department that deals with cases involving "powers" (people with superpowers)." He'll play Johnny Royale, "a criminal kingpin who possesses telekinesis, among other abilities." Jason Patric and Lucy Punch co-star.
YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY SHUT UP: A LOVE STORY (Lifetime, New!) - Annabelle Gurwitch ("Dinner and a Movie") is developing a comedy at the cable channel based on her book with husband Jeff Kahn of the same name. Said effort was billed as a "memoir of marriage and child-rearing; the couple's son, Ezra, was born with a medical condition called VACTERL association." No other auspices were given.
