NEWS & UPDATES

I have a couple of fun updates to share today! First of all, Nickelodeon recently aired a Sam & Cat bloopers episode. As you'll remember, Rachel guest starred on the show a few months ago, and as a result she featured in the bloopers. You can watch her clips below. There's quite a funny one where Rachel accidentally spilled water on herself during a take! Screencaps are also in the gallery.

Also, a few more pictures have surfaced of Rachel filming her newest movie Bereave. The first is of Rachel and actress Vinessa Shaw, who plays her mom, filming in a graveyard. The directors captioned the photo "This scene was so powerful, certain members (I won't name you, you know who you are!) were crying during the filming of... yep folks, it's gonna be powerful." Sounds like a great scene!

The other photo was posted by Jane Seymour on her personal Instagram account. It's a single shot of Rachel and Jane wrote Rachel Eggleston. Plays my granddaughter Cleo in Bereave. She's amazing. Such sweet, and deserved, praise!

We have even more great news today! Rachel has landed a role in another feature film called Bereave. She plays a girl named Cleo, the granddaughter of the main character. The film is directed by the Giovanis brothers and stars Malcolm McDowell as the main character. It was actually funded by Kickstarter and is currently filming according to the Facebook page! You can find a short synopsis of the plot below and a very funny behind the scenes photo in the gallery! Apparently the directors are planning on submitting the film to the Cannes Film Festival so we may find out more about it soon! A big congrats to Rachel on her second feature film!

'Bereave' - Synopsis

Fatally ill and unable to reveal this secret to his family, Garvey thinks he has figured out how to die alone. Suffering the mortal fears, Garvey's behavior becomes erratic. But when his beloved wife Evelyn mysteriously goes missing on their anniversary - he must live to save her! In that short time, Garvey realizes what life still has to offer and in following his journey; we do too.

On a similar note, Rachel's first ever film 'Summer Snow' is now in the final stages of post-production and should hopefully be released very soon! It was test screened to an audience yesterday and things are looking good. We have a new image of Rachel on the set last summer in the gallery. Does it get much cuter? Hopefully I'll have more to post about Summer Snow very soon. In the meantime don't forget to like the Facebook page for regular updates from the directors.

After more than 4 months of radio silence we are back with some fantastic news! Rachel's previously untitled Andrew Gurland project has been named - "Married" - and has been picked up by FX for an initial 10 episodes! Isn't that fantastic?? We should expect to see Rachel back on our screens in July! As I mentioned in my first post Rachel plays Maya, the daughter of the main characters, Nat Faxon and Judy Greer. I am super excited to see the show! You can find an article with more information below and the first still from the show (featuring Rachel!) in the gallery!

FX Picks Up Two Comedy Series, Including Judy Greer Vehicle

FX is expanding its comedy roster, ordering its Judy Greer-Nat Faxon starrer Married and Stephen Falk entry You're the Worst to series. The network has picked up 10 episodes of both comedies, with both premiering in July.

From Andrew Gurland (Mail Order Wife), Married revolves around the lengths to which two best friends are willing to go in order to salvage their marriage. Greer (Archer) plays Lina Bowman, the wife of Faxon's Russ Bowman. They get along great in every room -- except the bedroom. The project reunites Greer with Faxon, who won an Oscar for writing The Descendants, in which she co-starred. The series order also expands Greer's role with FX, where she is a regular part of animated comedy Archer's voice cast. Jenny Slate (House of Lies, Parks and Recreation) co-stars alongside Brett Gelman (Kroll Show).

Gurland penned the script and directed the pilot. He exec produces alongside Paul Young and Peter Principato. Salamo Levin, who developed the entry with Gurland, produced the FX Productions half-hour. "Married and You're the Worst represent the continuing expansion of our comedy brand. They are smart, funny and adult. Married is a frank and honest portrayal of a marriage -- both good and bad. There is tremendous talent behind these shows and we couldn't be happier about the quality of these pilots," FX original programming president Nick Grad said. - Source

Unfortunately this comes along with the news that Rachel's other pilot - Divide & Conquer starring Diane Farr has been passed on by USA Network. That means that the show won't be airing on that channel, however it can still be shopped around to other channels in hopes of a pick-up. It seems unlikely that we will see Rachel in the show, given that she has now committed to "Married". However don't fear because I'll be back with more booking news tomorrow!

USA Passes On Pilots 'Horizon' & 'Divide & Conquer'

I've learned that two of USA Network's pilots, drama Horizon and comedy Divide & Conquer, are not going forward. The pilots, both from Universal Cable Prods., are being shopped elsewhere. Penned by Peter Ocko, Divide & Conquer was clearly eyed as a companion to USA's high-profile acquisition Modern Family. It too is a family comedy, about four children on a path to adulthood and their parents. - Source
