Some Tarrytown Homes Possible Location for TV Pilot Starring Keri Russell
“The Americans,” a television drama in the works to star Keri Russell (of “Felicity” fame and the movie Waitress) as a Russian spy living in suburban America in the 1980s, is apparently scouting home locations in Tarrytown.
According to one source, scouts were photographing every room in the houses of several Tarrytown residents this weekend. Until contracts are signed, these residents can’t talk, but a sizable fee could be on the table.
The series is being produced by DreamWorks, Fox Television Studios and FX Productions. Trying to find someone inside these operations to confirm this is much like entering a spy drama itself. Continue reading Some Tarrytown Homes Possible Location for TV Pilot Starring Keri Russell

Keri Russell in Talks for DARK SKIES
Keri Russell and Daniel Barrett are in talks to join the sci-fi leaning horror feature Dark Skies. Priest director Scott Charles Stewart is set to direct, and Bloody Disgusting reports that the story centers on “a 6-year-old boy who’s apparently been ‘marked’ by an alien (living among us) for future abduction.” They note that the plot apparently shares some of the same themes as Fright Night, while also tapping the child abuse story mine.
Russell and Barrett would play the child’s parents should they sign on, and Blumhouse Pictures is producing. For those unfamiliar, Blumhouse is responsible for the “low budget/big profit” model and is the studio behind the Paranormal Activity films and Insidious. It’s safe to assume that Dark Skies may include some form of found footage given the studio’s penchant for the genre. Russell recently signed on to star in the espionage drama pilot The Americans for FX, so should the network pick the show up to series we’ll be seeing quite a bit more of the Felicity actress.

Brothers And Sisters’ Matthew Rhys Joins Kerri Russell In FX Pilot The Americans
Keri Russell has her co-star for the FX drama pilot The Americans. Matthew Rhys of Brothers and Sisters has signed up to play Russell’s on-screen wife in the Cold War era project that follows the arranged marriage of two KGB spies living in the US and running a network of spies and informants.
Deadline reports that Rhys has been brought onto the project in the role of Phillip Jennings, whose marriage to Elizabeth Jennings, played by Russell, is a front for a Russian spy operation. The couple struggles with the discovery that their feelings for each other are growing into a real relationship while they attempt to run a secure undercover spy operation. Keri Russell of Felicity picked up the female lead just over a week ago in another attempt to regain her status as a TV star.
Rhys, who played Kevin Walker on the five seasons of Brothers and Sisters has a few movie credits and other minor TV credits to his name including Love and Other Disasters. This would be a return to what seems to work best for him: TV drama. As for the project itself, it’s described as a period drama, and I have already lamented the fact that the 1980s can now qualify as “period”, so I will try to let that go. The pilot takes place in Washington D.C. as the Cold War escalates. It will be interesting to see how the project manages to turn KGB spies, once feared and hated, into sympathetic characters. Certainly if this one is successful it will be a testament to how far we’ve come since the Cold War.

Keri to Star in New FX Spy Story
After lengthy negotiations, Keri Russell has reached an agreement to star in FX‘s period drama pilot The Americans. Created/executive produced by Joe Weisberg, executive produced by Justified showrunner Graham Yost and directed by Gavin O’Connor, the project centers on two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington, DC in the early 1980s. The arranged marriage of Phillip Jennings and Elizabeth Jennings (Russell) grows more passionate and genuine by the day but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War and the intimate, dangerous and darkly funny relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control. The Americans is produced by Fox TV Studios and FX Prods. DreamWorks TV’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, who started the development process on the project, are executive producing.
The Americans marks a return to drama series for Russell, who became a household name playing the title role on the WB drama series Felicity. She recently starred in the Fox comedy Running Wilde. Russell, repped by WME, manager Joannie Burstein and attorney Robert Offer, will next be seen in the features Goats and Austenland.
