It's been seven months since FNL was last on the air, and what have we missed most? Minka Kelly, Adrianne Palicki, and Aimee Teegarden. They’ve apparently missed each other, too. It takes ten minutes to get through all the dog talk (“Chewy’s one of the cutest dogs ever!”) and on to the stuff that matters.

Your co-star Taylor Kitsch is a lucky man. I think he’s kissed each of you on-air, right?
Minka: Even the guest stars—everyone gets a shot. The guys like to tease Taylor because people seem to think he’s a heartthrob. But they know better. They know how bad he smells.
Adrianne: And how much makeup he has to go through in the morning to get that pretty.

It's no wonder Taylor Kitsch has been working non-stop between the big and small screen, including a role in the upcoming X-Men Wolverine.

 

 

Playing a master thief (Gambit) was new to this hunky 27 year old from Vancouver.

 

 

We can catch Taylor on the show that sky rocketed him into fame, Friday Night Lights, soon to be back for another season.

 

 

Despite his hectic schedule, Taylor managed to sneak in a visit home two weeks ago, and says - "There's nothing like supportive family and friends."

"Friday Night Lights" resident hunk, Taylor Kitsch, has officially stolen superhero status, thanks to his upcoming film (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) with Hugh Jackman.

 

Be sure to tune into "Entertainment Tonight Canada" tonight at 6:30PM ET on Global to see what Taylor has to say! Or check back here after the show for a brief recap.

 

Jackman on Taylor Kitsch as Gambit: “I can say it. He’s sexy, right? He’s a little bit like a junior Wolverine in a way. He’s a little bit of a wise guy. He’s an outsider. He’s got some issues himself. He’s mischievous. He’s cheeky. He’s a bit of a badass. We have a really great fight sequence. Physically that guy is an animal. He was chucking himself around on the concrete. He has that passion that I remember having when I first did Wolverine. There was no way a stunt double was doing anything for him.”

 

Thanks to Janine from Taylor-Kitsch.net, we now have 10 new pics of Taylor at the TCA All-Star Party last week-end.

20th Century Fox offered a special treat today for fans attending the studio's movies presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con with a first look at next year's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, complete with an appearance by Logan himself, star Hugh Jackman.

The Gavin Hood-directed spin-off recounts Wolverine's exploits before he joined the X-Men. The prequel stars Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed (a.k.a. Sabretooth), Danny Huston as William Stryker, Dominic Monaghan as Beak, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, and Will.i.am as Wraith.

Jackman surprised the crowd with his "unscheduled" appearance, telling the fans that the movie had literally just wrapped filming and thanking them for all the success he's had thanks to Wolverine. He then came down off the stage to meet Wolverine creator Len Wein and shake his hand.

Jackman then presented "bad ass" exclusive full of "beserker rage" footage from the movie, which he also produced. And we can confirm that it was indeed bad ass.

The trailer-like sequence opens with Logan and Creed in a military prison cell where they survived execution by firing squad for decapitating a senior officer. They are met by Colonel William Stryker, who offers them a chance to serve their country by taking part in the Weapon X program. We then saw glimpses of the team's different members: Blob, Deadpool. Wraith and, in perhaps the biggest mass geekgasm Hall H has ever heard, Gambit.

We then see Logan in the tank where he undergoes the adamantium process, awakening in a beserker rage and slashing down a number of guards. Stryker then calls on Creed, clad in a black trenchcoat and black outfit, to hunt down his old Army buddy Logan. You can imagine how that turns out.

We also got lots of Danny Huston as William Stryker and, to the great joy of the crowd, several shots of Taylor Kitsch, whose arrival as Gambit already seems to be yielding salivation. The footage showed Gambit tossing his trademark cards and riding a motorcycle.

 

There was plenty of shots from a chase sequence between Wolverine on a motorcycle, Army trucks and a helicopter. The wartime sequences appear to be set in the Vietnam era, with the New Zealand countryside doubling for Southeast Asia.

Jackman, who had just gotten off a plane from Australia, did not take any questions but thanked the fans profusely for all they've done for his career.

Heading into their third season, the cast members of the long-threatened NBC drama "Friday Night Lights" said today that they acutely feel the gratitude that comes with being pulled back from the brink of cancellation.

“It was sort of like we were thrown a life ring,” actor Kyle Chandler said of the deal NBC struck with DirecTV to split the series' production costs and distribution rights. "I feel like it's a brand new show."

As part of the agreement, the satellite provider gets to air the new 13-episode season of “Friday Night Lights” this October before it debuts in February on the broadcast network.

“When the opportunity came up, we jumped right on it,” said Eric Shanks, executive vice president of entertainment for DirecTV, a self-professed fan of the show who said Chandler’s Coach Taylor “has enormously impacted how I raise my child.”

When the series airs Wednesdays on DirecTV’s 101 Network, each episode will be paired with a 30-minute live call-in show, in which fans can talk with actors from the show.

Because “Friday Nights Lights” will air on such different platforms, producers are considering creating two distinct versions of each episode to take advantage of having a longer run time and fewer content restrictions on satellite.

The cast and crew of television football drama Friday Night Lights will kick off production in Austin once again on August 6th.

The critically acclaimed show, set in the fictional football-lovin’ small town of Dillon, Texas, has struggled in the ratings game, but like any good underdog it retains a fervent fan base.

The last two seasons of FNL, filmed in Austin, have included cameos of local hangouts and landmarks such as the Alamo Deafthouse on South Lamar, Trophy's, Cheapo Discs, and the Broken Spoke. Expect to see more of Austin when season three begins airing on NBC next February.
