LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Oscar-nominated "Ray" director Taylor Hackford is venturing into television with producer Jerry Bruckheimer's NBC drama pilot "E-Ring."
Described as "The West Wing" set at the Pentagon, "E-Ring" focuses on the fight for America's safety revealed through the inner workings of the U.S. military headquarters.
Hackford is reaping accolades for "Ray," which took 13 years to make in the face of repeated rejection by studios.
The biopic of late R&B great Ray Charles received six Academy Award nominations last week, including best picture and best actor for the film's star, Jamie Foxx.
Hackford, who has directed such features as 2000's "Proof of Life" and 1982's "An Officer and a Gentleman," won an Oscar in 1979 for the short film "Teenage Father."

| RPCVs mobilize support for Countries of Service RPCV Groups mobilize to support their Countries of Service. Over 200 RPCVS have already applied to the Crisis Corps to provide Tsunami Recovery aid, RPCVs have written a letter urging President Bush and Congress to aid Democracy in Ukraine, and RPCVs are writing NBC about a recent episode of the "West Wing" and asking them to get their facts right about Turkey. |
| Ask Not As our country prepares for the inauguration of a President, we remember one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and how his words inspired us. "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." |
| Latest: RPCVs and Peace Corps provide aid Peace Corps made an appeal last week to all Thailand RPCV's to consider serving again through the Crisis Corps and more than 30 RPCVs have responded so far. RPCVs: Read what an RPCV-led NGO is doing about the crisis an how one RPCV is headed for Sri Lanka to help a nation he grew to love. Question: Is Crisis Corps going to send RPCVs to India, Indonesia and nine other countries that need help? |
| The World's Broken Promise to our Children Former Director Carol Bellamy, now head of Unicef, says that the appalling conditions endured today by half the world's children speak to a broken promise. Too many governments are doing worse than neglecting children -- they are making deliberate, informed choices that hurt children. Read her op-ed and Unicef's report on the State of the World's Children 2005. |
