A&E will add a new drama to its lineup this summer, green-lights Sugarloaf.

Production will begin in Miami this winter on the series from Fox Television Studios. A&E officials said the network has placed a 13-installment order for the original series, starring Australian actor Matt Passmore (McLeod’s Daughters, Underbelly) as a hard-to-get-along with homicide detective from Chicago, who is forced to leave the Second City after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former captain’s wife.
In the pilot, Longworth has relocated to Sugarloaf a small resort town on Florida’s Gulf Coast, where the easily life goes bad when a unidentified woman washes up in a creek. Further complicating matters is his relationship with Callie (Kiele Sanchez, Lost, Samantha Who?), a beautiful medical student with a 12 year-old son and a husband in prison. Golf partner and department medical examiner Carlos (Carlos Gómez, Shark, Sleeper Cell) is also in mix, trying to piece together the facts to identify the victim and bring her killer to justice.

A&E is loading up on “Sugarloaf”

The network has picked up the hour long pilot starring Matt Passmore & Kiele Sanchez with a 13-episode order.

The Fox TV Studios drama centers on Jim Longworth (Passmore), a brilliant-but-difficult Chicago homicide detective who’s wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former captain’s wife and forced into exile. Longworth relocates to Sugarloaf, a sleepy Gulf Coast resort town in Florida where life can be less beautiful than it first seems.

Kiele Sanchez and Carlos Gomez co-star. Production is set to begin in Miami this winter for a summer premiere.

“Sugarloaf” was one of two drama pilots that A&E picked up last fall, along with “The Quickening,” which starred Radha Mitchell as a bipolar homicide detective. The network passed on “Quickening” this month.

“We have only one spot for the summer, and when we screened ‘Sugarloaf’ we knew this is the one,” A&E senior vp drama programming Tana Nugent Jamieson said. “It takes a typical gritty police procedural but has fun with the main character against the blue-sky backdrop of rural Florida. It’s pure entertainment that will complement the network’s current lineup of hit real-life series and off-net dramas.”

The series order for “Sugarloaf” — created by Clifton Campbell and executive produced by Campbell and Gary Randall — represents a tonal shift at A&E.

After a six-year hiatus, the basic cable network re-entered the scripted-series arena with two gritty dramas, “The Cleaner” in 2008 and “The Beast” in 2009, which lasted two and one season, respectively. In its latest round of pilots, A&E had a choice between staying the course with the dark and edgy “Quickening” and going lighter with “Sugarloaf.”

“Quickening” also came from Fox TV Studios, which produces USA Network’s “Burn Notice” and “White Collar.”"‘Sugarloaf’ is a mystery show with a light touch set in a fun location with a lot of playfulness and wit to it, and it fits nicely alongside ‘Burn Notice’ and ‘White Collar,’ ” FtvS exec vp David Madden said. “We’ve found a bit of a sweet spot for us.

A Perfect Getaway is much like a disappointing rollercoaster ride – it runs along a lengthy plateau until finally climbing to the peak and then quickly descending to an unsatisfactory conclusion.

Cliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Milla Jovovich) are honeymooning in Hawaii when they hear of a grisly murder nearby of another pair of newlyweds. Hiking a secluded jungle trail to a remote beach, they choose to join another couple (Timothy Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez) rather than run back to civilization. Eventually things begin to go horribly wrong and a brutal fight for survival ensues deep in the heart of paradise. (more…)

Milla Jovovich

After the overblown space opera that was The Chronicles of Riddick, David Twohy is back in more comfortable genre territory. He writes and directs a slick character driven thriller that’s an enjoyable rollercoaster ride, containing a fine twist.
