Person of Interest: Will Carter and Reese's New Partnership Last?

Taraji P. Henson, Jim Caviezel Over the last few episodes, CBS' Person of Interest has done something rather, well, interesting.Get more scoop on your favorite shows in our Winter TV previewThe hit freshman procedural has taken Taraji P. Henson's Detective Carter - the cop who spent the first half of the season hot on the trail of vigilantes Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) - and turned her into the high-tech duo's partner in vigilantism. Creator and executive producer Jonathan Nolan acknowledges that, at the request of CBS, the twist has happened faster than he originally intended, but he insists it was always in the back of his mind."The pitch from the very beginning with this character was that you'd start with a little bit of Tommy Lee Jones from The Fugitive, and you'd wind up with a character closer spiritually to Commissioner Gordon," Nolan tells TVGuide.com. "We didn't want these relationships to be ready-formed from the pilot. The network gave us a great deal of latitude in terms of earning this relationship. But the plan is still unfolding."Indeed, to this point, Carter only knows as much as Reese or Finch is willing to tell her about their little operation. Additionally, Carter has no idea that her fellow cop Fusco (Kevin Chapman) is also secretly feeding police information to Reese. Naturally, those types of secrets could quickly derail this new arrangement.Friday Night Lights' Matt Lauria becomes a Person of Interest"These relationships are not fixed," Nolan says. "There are no guarantees about any of these characters. Just because characters are allies now, doesn't mean they're going to remain allies."Unlike Reese and Finch, who were always operating outside the law, Carter is a sworn officer, which makes her side job all the more tricky, not to mention dangerous. This is especially true in Thursday's episode (9/8c, CBS), which features the return of CIA Agent Mark Snow (Michael Kelly), the operative who shot Reese after Carter put him on Reese's trail. This time around, Snow may have just as many questions about Carter as he does about Reese."One of the fun dilemmas of our show is you have these people doing the right thing, but in unorthodox terms and illegal terms," Nolan says. "There are influences within her office, or various other law enforcement agencies, that are going to start to inquire as to what she knows. What sort of position [does] that put her in?"Person of Interest airs Thursdays at 9/8c on CBS.

Benbihy embraces 'Berlin, I Love You'

"Berlin, I Love You" will be the third film in the franchise after the Paris and NY pics. The production will comprise 10 short love stories directed by established helmers, each set in a different neighborhood of the city with intermediate scenes telling an overarching story. Among the directors expected to participate in the project is Oren Moverman, who received the Silver Bear at the 2009 Berlinale. The project will also feature some 20 German and international thesps. "Each director will provide his own perspective and style, reflecting the richness and fascination of Berlin, its landscape and its people," Clausen said. "This blend of creative and cultural perspective will prove to be one of the film's most powerful resources." Added Benbihy: "I am thrilled that the city of Berlin will be one of our cities of love as I have always envisioned it. This is one of the most creative and lively cities in the world filled with diversity and a unique history that calls for love and reconciliation. It also has an incredible A-list film festival which defends film diversity in a big way." Benbihy's U.S.-based Ever So Close Inc. is working on planned Cities of Love projects in Shanghai, Rio and Jerusalem. Contact Ed Meza at ed.meza@mannaa.de

Paul Bettany talks The Avengers

When reading the above headline, you might momentarily have been confused. "Wait, Paul Bettany isn't in The Avengers," you might have thought. But you'd have been wrong.Bettany voices the computer programme known as JARVIS, a role he also played in the two Iron Man movies. Although according to Bettany, he occasionally struggles to remember that fact himself."I forgot I was in Iron Man," reveals the British star. "Someone said, 'I loved you in Iron Man'. I said, 'You've got me mixed up with someone else.' I forgot I did the voice because it was only 30 minutes in a recording studio laughing my arse off!"And as for his work on The Avengers, Bettany isn't afraid to admit that it was the easiest money he'd ever made."I have no input with [The Avengers] other than spending half an hour sitting in a studio doing the voiceover," he explains. "It's the best job I've ever had. I say the lines and they pay me money."A refreshingly honest take on one of the most hyped movies of the year, there. You can listen to Bettany's dulcet tones when the film arrives in UK cinemas on 27 April 2012.

Universal Considering 'Bridesmaids' Sequel Without Kristen Wiig

By Kim Masters and Matthew Belloni January 5, 2012 By every measure, "Bridesmaids" was a huge success story of 2011. The ensemble comedy, produced for about $32 million, grossed $288 million worldwide for hit-hungry Universal, made film stars out of Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, and landed Golden Globe, SAG and PGA nominations, positioning it as a best-picture Oscar contender.The mystery is why Universal has made so little progress on launching a "Bridesmaids 2" -- and why the star of the film is refusing to do a reprise. "We aren't working on that," Wiig, who co-wrote the film with Annie Mumolo, tells "The Hollywood Reporter." "Annie and I aren't planning a sequel. We are writing something else."One factor may be that something went awry between Wiig and Universal. Sources say that some of the six principal cast members (Wiig, McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) were underwhelmed with the $100,000 bonus each received -- the sum struck some as low given the film's outsized success. Asked by "THR" whether she was offended by the dollar figure, Wiig declined comment.With Wiig balking, Universal chief Ron Meyer took her to dinner in NY to see whether he could change her mind. He likely dangled an eight-figure payday before her, but the 38-year-old star held firm.Instead, she has pursued smaller dramas: In addition to the Mumolo project, the "Saturday Night Live" actress next appears in the March dramedy "Friends With Kids"; stars opposite Annette Bening in the indie "Imogene," which she also is producing; and this summer plans to shoot the drama "The Comedian" opposite Robert DeNiro for director Sean Penn. She also is adapting the dramatic novel "Clown Girl," which she hopes to direct.Universal sources say the studio is willing to pursue another "Bridesmaids" without Wiig. "We are over the moon with the success of 'Bridesmaids,' and if we do a sequel we want to get it right," a Universal rep tells "THR." "We are talking to filmmakers now about concepts, and if the right one emerges, we'll move forward." The studio rep declines to elaborate on what elements it would deem essential -- whether, for example, original director Paul Feig would be involved -- but Universal is focused on McCarthy as a key player to get a sequel rolling. Among the projects the Emmy-winning actress has attached herself to is the Universal comedy "ID Theft" with Jason Bateman, and sources say other projects are brewing. Universal has shown a willingness to move ahead on a big franchise without the original stars. The studio is in production on "Bourne Legacy," a fourth "Bourne" film but the first without Matt Damon. The "Fast & Furious" franchise has endured a host of cast comings-and-goings, with April's "Fast Five" generating a franchise-best $626 million worldwide.But it's not clear that producer Judd Apatow, who scored the biggest hit of his career with "Bridesmaids," is equally reconciled to the idea of proceeding with a different team. "The key is we have to come up with an idea that is as good or better than the first one," Apatow tells "THR" in a statement. "We don't want to do it unless it can be great. I don't think anyone has had the brain space to think about it yet. Hopefully that can begin this year."He declines to address talent questions, but a source close to the situation says, "I don't think [Judd] would proceed without Kristen and Annie's full participation."If a Wiig-less concept gains traction (or she can be convinced to return), Universal could potentially have a low-budget, high-return franchise on the order of Warner Bros.' "The Hangover" or Paramount's "Paranormal Activity." But it took only two years for Warners to get another "Hangover," and a third is in the works. "Bridesmaids 2," however, seems destined for a long wait at the altar. Borys Kit contributed to this report. The Hollywood Reporter
