‘Boris Is Dead’: Steven Bauer, Cam Gigandet, Thomas Dekker, Jesse Metcalfe, Martin & Jesse Kove Among Cast Additions To Indie Movie

Also joining the indie movie are Traci Lords (Blade), James Duval (Donnie Darko), Mark Rolston (The Departed), Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers), Richard Riehle (Office Space), Hannah Masi (The Illegal) and Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead).

As we revealed earlier this month, Dane Cook (Good Luck Chuck) and Hana Mae Lee (The Babysitter: Killer Queen) are leading the film, which is in post-production after shooting in Kansas City, Missouri.

Directed by James Cullen Bressack (Darkness of Man), the film follows a struggling actor, working as a waiter (Cook) who unwittingly becomes involved in a violent heist gone wrong, where his boss – deep in debt – has been stealing from employees and running the restaurant as a front for the mob.

The original screenplay was written by real life twins Kerry Donelli and Jacqueline Donelli (Unedited Footage of a Bear) who also star and produce.

Sasha Yelaun (The Old Way) and Henry Penzi (Hellfire) are also producing. Dane Cook (Mr. Brooks) is an EP alongside his company banner SuperFinger Entertainment and Darryl Quarles (Big Momma’s franchise). Jeremy O’Keefe (Never Have I Ever) is casting director and co-producer on the project.

James Cullen Bressack said: “Every day on set felt like Christmas morning, filled with joy and inspiration because I was working with so many talented people I was a fan of.”

Actor Justin Hartley discusses his television series TRACKER

Talk Show Appearance

Monday, Oct. 21 – JUSTIN HARTLEY stops by to talk about the new season of “Tracker”

New ‘Hand That Rocks The Cradle’ Movie Eyes Mary Elizabeth Winstead To Star Opposite Maika Monroe

The original film starred Rebecca De Mornay and Annabella Sciorra and follows a woman, played by De Mornay, who after her sex-offender husband gets caught in the act and kills himself, embarks on a mission of vengeance against one of her husband’s victims and the woman’s family. Monroe will step into the role made famous by De Mornay, while Winstead will play the role originated by Sciorra.

The original screenplay was written by Amanda Silver and the film was executive produced by Rick Jaffa; the duo later became the writing team of Jaffa/Silver (Jurassic Park, Planet of the Apes).

Ted Field will produce the new film through Radar Pictures along with Michael Schaefer and Mike Larocca, who will produce through Department M. Michael Napoliello and Maria Frisk are overseeing for Radar.

Winstead is coming off her hit Disney+ Star Wars TV series Ahsoka, in which she stars opposite Rosario Dawson. She also recently earned strong reviews for her Showtime limited series A Gentleman in Moscow where she stars opposite Ewan McGregor.

She is repped by Entertainment 360 and WME.

Jensen Ackles Returns to ‘Tracker’ — to Save Colter?!

As we’ve known since the summer, Jensen Ackles is returning to the CBS drama as Russell Shaw, Colter’s (Justin Hartley) previously estranged brother; the two began fixing things during his first appearance near the end of Season 1. Now, we have details for when Russell’s back in Season 2 Episode 2, “Ontological Shock”: Reenie (Fiona Rene) recruits him for help after Colter suddenly disappears during his search for a missing father.

Colter previously thought Russell had been involved in their father’s death when they were younger, but after they reconnected and talked, they parted on better terms. Russell insisted he didn’t have anything to do with their dad’s death but did know someone else was in the woods that night—and had seen their mother with that man.

“[Colter’s brother and sister will] be coming in and out of the show,” executive producer Elwood Reid told TV Insider. “If we can drop a few bombs into Colter’s life with those characters and then see how he wrestles with those, then we’ll earn them coming back to sort of sort out— because, I mean, the evidence we have in the show right now is his sister definitely has a point of view about what he should do, which is just forget about it and leave it. And then you look at Jensen’s character Russell, he seems to have sort of put it all away in a box in some way and kind of just dealt with it. But you’ll learn in Episode 2, he’s got very different memories of something that happened in their past that Colter has no memory of.”

And hey, maybe with Reenie calling him in, there will be more of that flirtation we saw in Season 1. “I think she wants to have a little bit of fun, especially since Colter pissed her off so much,” shared Rene with us. “Russell is a great opportunity to have a little payback, but at the same time, we don’t want to use anyone, right? So I think she’s going to have a little bit of fun. And I noticed that in Episode 12 when Russell came into play, although he was so forward with her and she was like, back off, I think there were moments where she was rethinking maybe some of her thoughts. So we’ll see maybe if there’s more of that in Season 2. I don’t know.”

Justin Hartley returns in TRACKER as Colter Shaw, a trusted lone-wolf survivalist who, driven by the troubles of his past, uses his instincts to find the missing and collect rewards. Supported by lawyer Reenie Green (Fiona Rene), his business handler Velma Bruin (Abby McEnany) and tech expert Bobby Exley (Eric Graise), Colter will stop at nothing to get the job done. The second season premiere of TRACKER kicks off CBS Premiere Week, Sunday, Oct. 13 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs).

‘Tracker’ Season 2 Trailer: Jensen Ackles’ Return, Colter in Danger & His Love Life

Colter travels the country as a reward-seeker, but he only collects if he’s successful in finding the missing person, as he explains to a client in the video above, which offers a look at some of the jobs coming his way this season. The one in the premiere, which airs on Sunday, October 13, features the strange disappearance of a missing family whose car was found abandoned on the side of the road in the backwoods of Arkansas. Colter then makes a shocking discovery about the mother’s past that leads him into the world of organized crime.

At one point, his business handler Velma Bruin (Abby McEnany) warns him not to do anything stupid, and let’s just say that what he’s doing counts. Oh, his love life is going to be complicated this season, with bounty hunter Billie Matalon (Sofia Pernas) back and whatever he may have one day with lawyer Reenie Green (Fiona Rene). In fact, Reenie notes at one point that she didn’t ask him about Billie. “Can we just focus on work?” he asks.

Jensen Ackles also returns as Colter’s brother, Russell in the second episode. “Colter’s got a couple of questions for him about this Dory [their sister, played by Melissa Roxburgh] situation and the box that she has and does Russell know where it is? Russell’s also pretty heroic in Episode 2 and they get involved in this really black ops, kind of strange thing,” Hartley told us as part of our Fall Preview of Season 2.

“These government officials start asking about our dad out of the blue, and you’re like, ‘Whoa, what’s this all about?’ So, in every episode, Dad is becoming a little more vindicated maybe, or just maybe completely nuts,” Hartley continued. “We don’t know. We dive a little bit deeper into that.”

Watch the full trailer above for much more of the action to come.

'This Is Us' star Justin Hartley thrilled by 'Tracker' success

Adapted from Jeffrey Deaver’s novel The Never Game, Hartley plays Colter Shaw, a lone-wolf survivalist who roams America as a reward seeker using his expert tracking skills to help private citizens and law enforcement find missing persons.

Colter travels around in a truck, lugging an airstream in back as he embarks on a new mystery each week.

“This is my whole life now,” Hartley, 47, laughs in a video call from Vancouver where Tracker is filmed. “I work these like 16, 17 hour days, I’m outside all the time. So it’s like, you know, you better like it, bud … (former This Is Us executive producer) Ken Olin always says, instead of carrying babies, he’s carrying a gun, which is kind of the truth.”

After appearing on NBC’s Emmy-winning This Is Us, Hartley wasn’t sure what he wanted to do next. But he knew he was interested in making compelling television and appearing on a show that would have people tuning in week after week.

“I think the opportunity of my life was This Is Us. I still cherish every moment of that show,” says Hartley, who played Kevin Pearson for six seasons. “Even when I was on it, I understood what it was. I was like, ‘I can’t believe I’m part of this fantastic thing.'”

Following the series end in 2022, Hartley took a bit of a breather, but he was immediately hooked when he got the script for Tracker, which airs Sunday nights on CBS and CTV.

As Hartley puts it, Colter’s troubled childhood “shaped the man that he is” and made for rich storytelling.

His father moved his family off the grid, he’s estranged from his siblings and can’t trust his mother. “I love the fact that he took all of that trauma from his childhood and is now using it to do good,” he says.

After Colter’s sister appeared last Sunday (played by Manifest’s Melissa Roxburgh), this week, Colter’s brother Russell shows up to seek his help tracking down an old Army buddy. He’ll be played by Supernatural and The Winchesters star Jensen Ackles.

“It’s intense,” Hartley says of the episode. “We learn a lot of the backstory about their family and we have a lot of action, some buddy comedy stuff … it’s great. We had been wanting to work together for a long time and this was just a great opportunity.”

Hartley’s wife, Sofia Pernas, whom he met when they starred together on The Young and the Restless, has also made an appearance this season as Colter’s ex. She’ll turn up later this month as well.

“She’s going to be back by popular demand,” Hartley says laughing. “We had this really great opportunity to work together. It was a really cool episode for her where she got to come in and be a badass like she is. That’s what she is. That’s what she does. And she crushed it. And I can’t tell you how many times people have come up to me and said how much they liked the episode she was in, which makes me so happy.”

Hartley will also have a mini This Is Us reunion when Jennifer Morrison makes a cameo in the season finale on May 19.

“Guest stars are a huge part of our show,” Hartley says. “We have had a lot of people that have come on who helped us out in a really good way. I look at the cast now and I’m like, ‘Wow, we got a bunch of TV stars on our show.’ It’s incredible.”

Tracker scored an early Season 2 renewal with CBS saying that the primetime show is its most watched new series since Big Bang Theory prequel Young Sheldon debuted in the 2017-18 season. It was the first series to be greenlit for the 2024-25 broadcast cycle.

Getting a chance to star in two back-to-back TV hits is like lightning striking twice, Hartley says.

“There are a lot of people in this business that work really hard and don’t sniff this kind of opportunity that leads into this kind of success,” the Screen Actors Guild Award-nominee says. “With the combination of the people we have, we had a chance to make a successful show and we’ve done that with the show … But you never know. I’ve seen really great shows with really great acting before that go four or five episodes and they’re cancelled. For some reason, they never find an audience. So the fact that we found an audience feels good. It’s a relief when you put in all that effort and people are actually enjoying what you’re doing.”

It’s not bad for a guy who packed his car and headed from his native Illinois to Los Angeles in the early 2000s with a dream to become an actor.

“I caught the acting bug that people talk about in college. And I thought, well, you don’t have anything to lose right now. I didn’t want to be the age that I am now and regretting things, but I’ve been lucky … because time flies by when you’re doing something that you love, it flies by … It’s hard to imagine.”

Tracker airs Sunday nights on CBS and CTV.

Justin Hartley's Wife Sofia Pernas Shares Her First Impression of Him

Sofia Pernas Says She Was 'Very Honest' With Husband Justin Hartley About Not Watching This Is Us

While speaking to PEOPLE about her upcoming guest appearance on husband Justin Hartley’s new CBS drama Tracker, Pernas, 34, admitted that his six-season stint on This Is Us was just too much for her to take in.

“I was very honest with him. I saw the first season, and I don't know how people binge-watch that show,” she says. “I don't really like to emote much, so I couldn't do it.”

The Young and the Restless alum, who will play a rival of Hartley’s character on Tracker Sunday night, explained that she has more of a tendency to keep her feelings inside rather than “wear them” on her sleeve (or watch them on TV).

“It pulled too many heartstrings for me. [Creator] Dan Fogelman is too good and the cast is too good. I couldn't,” she says. “I was just like, "I need something [else]... I can't cry every day. I can't!"

Hartley, 47, spent all six seasons on This Is Us playing Kevin Pearson, one of three siblings in a family touched by tragedy. The series was famous for its gut-wrenching plot twists — including the death of patriarch Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) in a house fire and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease in matriarch Rebecca (Mandy Moore).

Now, a year and a half after wrapping the beloved NBC series, Hartley is enjoying a new role as Colter Shaw on Tracker, where he plays a “rewardist” who traverses the country looking for people to help (and, as the job title begs, rewards to collect).

Pernas’ appearance on the show will see her character Billie go head-to-head with Shaw, but in reality, Pernas says working with her husband again (the two also co-starred on NBC's Quantum Leap) is like “riding a bike.”

“We get asked all the time, like, 'You guys don't take a break from each other?' I'm like, 'I love him.' Thankfully that's reciprocated because how often do you get that?" she says. "I'm just really thankful that we both feel that way about each other and that we're able to take that to work and not need extended breaks from each other because we're so absorbed.”

The pair originally met while they were costars on The Young and the Restless after Pernas joined the soap opera in 2015 — though, she admits she doesn’t remember their first meeting.

“When Justin's in work mode, and I think anyone who's ever worked with him would say this, he is like a Terminator. He has one goal, he has one focus. Also, he's a man, so he doesn't multitask very well,” she quips of being on set with her now-husband. “I mean, we were strictly, strictly co-stars. I might have had one, two conversations with him in the middle of some scenes because he wasn't really a big scene partner of mine.”

Though, when the two eventually did begin to date before they wed in 2021, Pernas was surprised by how much they had in common.

“I always say it's so cliche for everyone who's with someone to obviously be obligated to say, 'This is my best friend.' But he truly, truly is," she says. "We get along in so many ways, we're so, so compatible, and even when we were dating early on, it was just, I was like, 'Oh, you like that? Oh, that's weird. I feel like I'm dating myself!"

Tracker airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.

Erin & Aaron Cancelled

Erin & Aaron premiered in April 2023 and ran for 12 episodes, averaging barely 100,000 weekly viewers. The cast was led by Ava Ro (Dino Ranch) and Jensen Gering, and also included TV vet Larisa Oleynik (Pretty Little Liars, The Secret World of Alex Mack) as Aaron’s mom.

McGregor revealed in a recent interview why having an intimacy coordinator on the set was important while filming sex scenes for the series.

“It’s still necessary, because it’s also about the crew, and it’s odd to be naked in front of people, it’s odd to be intimate in front of the camera,” McGregor told Radio Times. “If you were doing a dance scene, you’d have a choreographer. It’s an important part of the work now, because it’s somebody that the director and actors meet in the middle.”

The actor also noted the importance of intimacy coordinators, especially now that his daughters Esther and Clara are also actors.

“My daughter [Esther] is 22. If an older, famous director goes to a 22-year-old and says, ‘I want you to be naked in this scene,’ that actress might feel, ‘Oh, my God, I’ve got to do it, my career might depend on it,'” he said. “And then five years after that, she could look back and go, ‘I wish I hadn’t. Why am I naked in that scene? It’s unnecessary.'”

He continued, “Now there’s somebody she talks to whose career doesn’t rest on the shoulders of this person.”

A Gentleman in Moscow premieres March 29 on Paramount+. The series is an adaptation of Amor Towles’ novel of the same name that follows Count Alexander Rostov (McGregor) who, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, finds that his gilded past has placed him on the wrong side of history.

The series also stars Winstead as glamorous, self-made film actress Anna Urbanova, Alexa Goodall, Johnny Harris and Fehinti Balogun. Additional cast includes Leah Harvey, Paul Ready, John Heffernan, Lyès Salem, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson, Dee Ahluwalia, Anastasia Hille, Daniel Cerqueira, Leah Balmforth, Billie Gadsdon and Beau Gadsdon.

TELEVISION’S #1 SERIES, “TRACKER,” RENEWED FOR SECOND SEASON ON CBS

CBS announced the first-year series TRACKER, starring Justin Hartley, has been renewed for the 2024-2025 season.

TRACKER is the #1 show on television according to Nielsen’s Most Current Data. The series premiere, which debuted on Feb. 11 following the Super Bowl, has now been seen by 30 million multiplatform viewers and is Paramount+’s #1 show in February. Since its post-Super Bowl debut, TRACKER is averaging nearly 16 million multiplatform viewers and is the most-watched new series since YOUNG SHELDON in 2017/18 (16.49m viewers) and the most-watched new drama since 2014/15’s EMPIRE (17.33m viewers). TRACKER has improved its regular Sunday, 9:00 PM time period by +83% year over year.

“TRACKER kicked off our premiere week with a ratings bang and has kept the momentum going,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “We knew we had something special when we saw the very first cut of the series and the overwhelming audience response confirms it. We couldn’t be more grateful to Justin, the talented cast, the incredible writing and producing teams and our partners at 20th Television for such compelling episodes. And, of course, we’re also so thankful to the millions of viewers tuning in each week.”

The series stars Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, a lone-wolf survivalist who roams the country as a reward seeker, using his expert tracking skills to help private citizens and law enforcement solve all manner of mysteries while contending with his own fractured family. The series is based on the bestselling novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver.

Justin Hartley, Ken Olin, Elwood Reid and Ben Winters serve as executive producers.

TRACKER airs on the CBS Television Network and is available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after it airs).

POST-SUPER BOWL “TRACKER” PREMIERE AMASSED 18.4 MILLION VIEWERS, EXPECTED TO SURPASS 25 MILLION VIEWERS BY END OF THE WEEK

TRACKER (11:14 PM, ET/8:14 PM, PT) posted the largest debut (18.4m) for any new series since the 2021 post-Super Bowl premiere of CBS’ THE EQUALIZER (10:39 PM, ET). Note: TRACKER’s start time of 11:14 PM, ET is the latest start time for a post-Super Bowl program ever.

The new drama was up +16% from last year’s post-Super Bowl program, “Next Level Chef” (15.85m on FOX, 2/12/23).

Delivered more viewers than any primetime entertainment program this season.

On social, TRACKER amassed over 130 million potential social impressions.

Facts

1. June 10, 2003 Passions aired its 1000th episode

2. Lindsay Korman (Theresa) & Mark A. Provert co-wrote "Kiss Me" the song she sang on the show

3. That's ALAN OPPENHEIMER providing the voice of sinister patriarch Alistair Crane on Passions. The veteran thespian boasts a wide and impressive range of credits, including the Broadway production of Sunset Boulevard, where he played Cecil B. DeMille opposite Glenn Close's Norma Desmond; Murphy Brown, where he spent several seasons as retired FYI honcho Gene Kinsella; and the feature film Little Big Man, with Faye Dunaway and Dustin Hoffman. Among his television guest-starring appearances are stints on Hogan's Heroes, I Dream of Jeannie, Bonanza, The Partridge Family, Bewitched, Knight Rider, Happy Days, Murder, She Wrote, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Touched by an Angel.

   Oppenheimer has also enjoyed a prolific voiceover career, no surprise to anyone who has been intimidated just by the sound of him on Passions. His vocal incarnation of the despotic Alistair is doubtless influenced by his past portrayals of power-hungry Skeletor in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the self-confident Vanity Smurf in The Smurfs, and the charismatic crooner/crusader Mighty Mouse.

4. A Passions spokesperson reports that the music and lyrics for the song, entitled "Breathe", were written by John Henry and Jane French and performed by Jane French. NBC Productions commissioned the team to compose the ditty and were obviously thrilled with the results
