A&E Tells Us Whats in Development
"Gene Simmons Family Jewels," featuring Simmons; his partner, Shannon Tweed' Shannon Tweed, a former Playmate of the Year, actress and model; and their kids, Nick and Sophie. Dubuc described the kids as "articulate, funny and bright," which contrasts with their "wild and crazy" parents. This project follows a one-hour special on Simmons that aired under the "Biography" banner.
"Driving Force," a real-life project featuring John Force and his three drag-racing daughters.
"King of Cars," a behind-the-scenes look at the world of car sales featuring 30-year-old Chop, who runs a successful auto empire in Las Vegas and also is a father, rap impresario, radio host and TV infomercial star-producer.
"Elevator Moods," a series of 13 quirky short films about one minute in length that are shot from the point of view of an elevator surveillance camera. The series, originally created for the Web (http://www.elevatormoods.com), won the Webby Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
A&E has acquired existing shorts and will produce new ones for the series, which could air in some combination of on-air and online media.
Projects in development include:
"A Guy Walks Into a Bar," an hour-long pilot that features Wendt and George Gray ("Junkyard Wars") telling jokes in a bar setting. The show then transitions into the jokes being played out in sketches.
"Commander Castle," a half-hour pilot focusing on Paul Castle, a 30-year veteran of the U.K. Police Force who gets called in to help local officers in America handle dangerous situations.
"Polar Posse," an hour-long pilot focusing on the Dragon Slayers, an all-youth, all-volunteer firefighting and EMS team based in a tiny town in the remote north of Alaska.
"Finally a Family," an hour-long pilot that joins the point of the adoption process where the field of parents has been narrowed down to two sets.
"Rock Paper Scissors," an hour-long special focusing on a nationwide Rock Paper Scissors tournament that features a $50,000 grand prize.
