It's almost here! J.J. Abrams' newest drama Alcatraz is heading to Fox. The show is part Lost , part X-Files and a slice of Fringe all rolled into one. The network has just released a new trailer for the series premiere, and it looks awesome. Similar to Fringe and Alias, Alcatraz centers on a strong female character who works for the government. Her name is Rebecca Madsen ( Sarah Jones ), she's a homicide detective, and she's landed a strange murder case. The prime suspect in her investigation is former Alcatraz inmate Jack Sylvane ( Jeffrey Pierce ), who died decades ago! Can you smell the time travel in the air? Madsen seeks help from Alcatraz specialist Diego Soto (Lost's Jorge Garcia ), who's got the inside scoop on the famous prison. With him on her side, she should be able to solve this case in no time, right? Wrong! The show needs a foil, and we think that role could easily go to Mr. Sam Neill . The actor plays a high-powered government agent who

While most of the Spielberg -centric attention has been focused on War Horse of late, the director is now currently hard at work making his long-cherished Lincoln project. And though the cameras are already cranking, he’s still had time to add yet one more talented type to a cast list already bulging with them: Jared Harris will play Civil War commander (and future president) Ulysses S Grant . During the conflict, Grant won a reputation as a dedicated and driven general, ending up in charge of all the Union armies in their battle with the Confederate forces. He remained in command during the reconstruction period following the war and worked closely with Lincoln himself. Harris joins an ensemble that already includes (deep breath): Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tommy Lee Jones, James Spader, John Hawkes, Michael Stuhlbarg, David Strathairn, Walton Goggins, David Oyelowo, Tim Blake Nelson, Bruce McGill, Jackie Earle Haley and Lee Pace , amongst others.
