USA Network is moving forward with the pilot White Collar lifting its cast contingency stipulation. The pilot, from Fox Television Studios, stars Matthew Bomer and Tim DeKay playing a con artist and an FBI agent respectively who form an unusual partnership. Bronwen Hughes (Burn Notice) was tapped to direct. FOX finalized its cast for the animated high school series Good Vibes from 20th Century Fox Television and Good Humor TV says Variety. Josh Gad, Adam Brody, Debi Mazar, Olivia Thirlby, Alan Tudyk and Jake Busey will begin voicing scripts early next month. Good Vibes was picked up by FOX as a pilot presentation and is ramping up for a possible spring roll out. Film star Vince Vaughn has a single-camera 30m comedy pilot in development for FOX and 20th Century Fox Television, per Variety. Vaughn also executive produces the project about a couple of guys just out of college adjusting to the real world. Brothers Jim and Steve Armogida will write the pilot for Vaughn’s Wild West Picture Show Productions while Vaughn’s sister Victoria Vaughn will also executive produce. Vaughn’s deal with FOX allows him to cast the project and have oversight on creative aspects. Muse Entertainment will handle principal photography on the pilot Night and Day for TNT starting today in Albuquerque, NM and concluding November 11. The pilot, produced in association with Muse Entertainment and Tandem Communications, blends crime drama with family drama and stars William Fichtner (Prison Break, Crash). ~ ELSEWHERE IN CYNOPSIS ~
