OK... what's the deal? Last week they just replayed the pilot and this week it's not on. And I don't see it listed on the schedule next week at all on NBC's site. Did it not get picked up? Because this is a real good way for everyone to loose interest.

Why is this said for just about every actor that goes from movies to TV shows? Some actors *like* having the different challenges/roles that you have on TV. Just like other actors go back to doing stage shows, because that's what they like to do.
.....although I did just look at his IMDb profile. "The Ten Commandments: The Musical"?!?? But it's not like he's been wanting for work, either.
Kilmer is a bit of an odd one, from what I've seen. I think he's made enough money that he and his family are secure and now he treats acting more like a hobby than a career. So I doubt he cares what people think about his career. As far as I'm concerned; the dude got in a fist fight with Tom Cruise so he get bonus points just for that.

Assuming they're making their decision based on the reception of the pilot, I imagine it'll be a month or two before the bureaucratic gears start to move. I'm confident it'll get a pick up, given the void left by the writers strike, if nothing else.

Just rewatched "Kiss kiss bang bang" yesterday, god I love that movie. And Kilmer is great. I hope he gets something big soon.

I did a quick googling. Apparently the pilot was ordered as a stand-alone movie and the decision to order a series would be based on audience reaction. If they hadn't even ordered a series when the movie aired, it'll be at least a couple of months, like you said, before anything can be shot and aired.

Wasn't he just in that Denzel Washington/Tony Scott film about time travel? That makes his third Scott collaboration if memory serves (the other two being Iceman & Elvis) so Tony apparantly has a high opinion of him at least.
