In a sign of the times, Creative Artists Agency has inked a deal with an artificial intelligence company to store clients’ digital assets.

CAA and Veritone announced their partnership on Tuesday, leading to the creation of the “CAAVault” — a synthetic media vault that will store all intellectual property related to all CAA talent’s name, image and likeness. This includes digital scans and voice recordings.

According to Veritone, talent will retain access to their digital assets via a “personal vault,” which will allow them to share their assets as they see fit.

This appears to be the first deal of its kind between a talent agency and an AI company. It comes on the heels of last year’s lengthy dual strikes, which helped achieve sweeping AI protections in the latest studio contracts for the WGA, DGA and SAG-AFTRA.

The below-the-line workers are also currently attempting to secure their own protections against AI,...

In 2024, the horror fantasy film The Vampire Next Door intertwines the elements of high school romance, mystery, and horror and creates a unique narrative that can intrigue some of its viewers. Not all, because, I guess, horror is genre-specific to the audience, and not everyone has a taste for such fantasy horror films. Nevertheless, The Vampire Next Door’s protagonist, Cameron, finds himself entangled in a series of complex emotions while trying to deal with his unrequited love for a woman named Diane. However, Cameron’s world turns upside down when a beautiful young girl, Victoria, rents an apartment next door, and to much of his surprise, Victoria turns out to be a vampire. As Cameron delves deeper into Victoria’s supernatural existence, he uncovers shocking truths about the people in his life and their secret identities that they had been hiding forever. The revelation takes an emotional toll on...

Helmed by Sean King O’Grady, The Mill is set in a dystopian universe, much like a lengthy Black Mirror episode but with less intrigue. Sean King’s The Mill makes sense in every way, starting from its angry commentary on worker exploitation and the overenthusiastic activity of certain workers, which always raises the bar, becoming a double-edged sword for average employees. The Mill is all about a hard-working employee, Joe, who wakes up inside a prison cell of “Mallard,” a multinational company where he has been working for several years. An emotionless AI-generated voice constantly demanding Joe push a giant grist mill is the ultimate conflict in Joe’s life. However, The Mill decides whether it is possible for the average Joe to find a way out of the prison or if he’ll have to stay in this constant loop until he breathes his last breath.

The Mill centers around Joe,...

Network: TNT

Episodes: 10 (hour)

Seasons: One

TV show dates: June 10, 2013 -- August 12, 2013

Series status: Cancelled

Performers include: Jon Tenney, Rebecca Romijn, Michael O'Keefe, Chris Butler, and Ryan Hurst.

TV show description:

This TV series is based on the best-selling books by author David Baldacci.

Sean King (Jon Tenney) and Michelle Maxwell (Rebecca Romijn) are unusual private investigators. Both of them used to be Secret Service agents, and their unique skills (not to mention their razor-sharp chemistry) give them a leg up on conventional law enforcement.

Maxwell is a former elite athlete who uses her brains, beauty and Beltway connections to solve cases. King's career in the Secret Service ended when the presidential candidate he was assigned to protect was assassinated, sending him on a downward spiral.

New Us drama King & Maxwell is to air on Alibi in the UK.

The detective drama - which airs on TNT in the Us - stars X-Men's Rebecca Romijn and The Closer's Jon Tenney as a pair of private investigators.

The series follows Sean King (Tenney) and Michelle Maxwell (Romijn) - two former Secret Service agents - who now use their unique skills and supreme connections to outsmart the bad guys and surpass conventional law enforcement.

King & Maxwell - which will premiere in the UK in early 2014 - is based on the book series by author David Baldacci.

"Alibi's loyal viewers love fast-paced, deductive narratives and the smart rapport between the lead characters will immediately appeal to them," said Alibi's General Manager, Steve Hornsey.

"The channel has proven success with best-selling book-based adaptations and we're delighted to add David Baldacci's King & Maxwell to the content mix."

It's only the first season finale of "King & Maxwell," but could it already be the end of their pairing? The Secret Service wanted Michelle Maxwell back, and they were willing to offer her her dream job in order to get her. But after spending this much time working alongside Sean King, would she take them up on it?

It turns out, he was able to offer her something even more valuable,and so she turned down the job. This left King stunned. "Michelle, that’s the career you worked for," he told her.

“You said I was the only person you could trust," Maxwell said, as an explanation of sorts. When King asked her if that fact meant more to her than the Secret Service, she responded, "That means more to me than anything.”

It was good news for Jane Boursaw of Reel Life With Jane. "Thank goodness Michelle isn...

Fans of Jon Tenney’s work on The Closer (and his roles that came before that) let out a collective huzzah when the actor landed the male lead in TNT’s King & Maxwell, NCIS vet Shane Brennan’s adaptation of the David Baldacci novels (airing Mondays at 10/9c). And make no mistake, Tenney is jazzed, too. Here, he opens up about fronting a series, sings leading lady Rebecca Romijn’s praises, teases big reveals about Sean’s complicated past and, yes, hints at Fritz Howard’s return to Major Crimes.

"King & Maxwell" is the latest in TNT's ampersand crime dramedies, this one starring Jon Tenney as Sean King and Rebecca Romijn as Michelle Maxwell, both former Secret Service who are now a duo of private investigators.

If you haven't read the books, we're curious what you thought about the new series. Tenney and Romijn have a cute chemistry, for sure. But as fans of the book series, we wish the show had started at a different point in time.

In the book series, King and Maxwell meet each other when her missing presidential candidate turns out to be tied to King's assassinated presidential candidate from eight years earlier. It's a terrific mystery and there is a development of the characters before they are joined up working as investigators.

We wish the show had gone that way -- it would've been fun to watch the "Split Second" events play out over the course of a season,...

TNT’s ever-robust summertime slate continued to unspool on Monday night with the premiere King & Maxwell, a drama inspired by a series of David Baldacci novels. But will the TV version prove to be a page-turner?

Ratings | Falling Skies Returns Steady

The light drama stars Jon Tenney (The Closer) and Rebecca Romijn (Ugly Betty) as the titular Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, former Secret Service agents who now work as private eyes after setbacks in their previous jobs (in the form of an assassination and a kidnapping, respectively).

In the series opener (which was loosely based on Baldacci’s The Sixth Man...

Clearly, TNT loves Jon Tenney.

And the feeling is mutual, since the actor has worked for the cable network for the better part of the past decade. After his long run as FBI Special Agent Fritz Howard -- longtime friend and eventual husband of Kyra Sedgwick's Brenda Leigh Johnson on "The Closer," a role he's occasionally reprised on the spinoff "Major Crimes" -- Tenney launches a new TNT crime drama as "King & Maxwell" premieres Monday (June 10).

He and Rebecca Romijn play Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, former Secret Service agents now partnered as private detectives. The characters originated in best sellers by David Baldacci ("Absolute Power"), and they're odd-couple opposites: He's more refined while she's the street-wise one.

Michael O'Keefe ("Caddyshack") and Chris Butler co-star as FBI operatives in the show that includes Shane Brennan ("NCIS," "NCIS: Los Angeles") among its executive producers.

TNT‘s latest crime drama, King & Maxwell, has a somewhat familiar feel to it, but surpasses many of the network’s less interesting, but popular efforts. In the end, it looks as though that might not be a good thing.

Much like USA, it isn’t difficult to know that you’re watching something on TNT. Whether it’s The Closer, Leverage, Perception, or Falling Skies, the network has a certain feel to it. Of course, there are two camps to these shows, despite the similarity of style and substance, and the real question for any show is which side we’re leaning toward.

One camp begins and ends with The Closer. It’s a show I didn’t watch beyond the first season, largely because it flew out over left field and beyond so fast that I couldn’t even comprehend the interest, much less actually manage any. Good or bad,...
