Administrator Toups Posted May 11, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted May 11, 2012 “CULT” Investigative journalist Jeff Sefton has learned to laugh off his brother Nate’s relentless string of obsessions, especially his latest rant that a hit TV show intends to harm him. However, when his brother mysteriously disappears, Jeff takes Nate’s paranoia seriously, and in the process uncovers the dark underworld of the TV show “Cult” and its rabid fans. The only person who seems willing to help Jeff with his investigation is Skye, a young research assistant for “Cult,” who has also started to grow suspicious of the increasingly dark happenings surrounding the show. The fictitious show, centered on the cat-and-mouse game between charismatic cult leader Billy Grimm and LAPD detective Kelly Collins, has become an obsession for its viewers – and now some of its devotees seem to be taking their fixation to deadly extremes in the real world. As Jeff and Skye dig deeper into the fan world, they discover that the gruesome plot twists on television are much more than fantasy for some very unfortunate people. The hardcore fans of “Cult” would kill to see what happens next… The series stars Matt Davis (“The Vampire Diaries”) as Jeff Sefton, Jessica Lucas (“Melrose Place,” “Cloverfield”) as Skye Yarrow, Alona Tal (“Supernatural,” “The Killing”) as Kelly Collins and Robert Knepper (“Prison Break,” “Shameless”) as Billy Grimm. CULT is from Fake Empire and Rockne S. O’Bannon Television in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, with executive producers Rockne S. O’Bannon (“Farscape,” “V”), Josh Schwartz (“Chuck,” “Gossip Girl”), Stephanie Savage (“Hart of Dixie,” “Gossip Girl”), Len Goldstein (“Hart of Dixie”) and Jason Ensler (“Franklin & Bash,” “Hart of Dixie”). The pilot was directed by Jason Ensler and written by Rockne S. O’Bannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah, I tried to follow it but it was meh. So how does it work. Do the actors get paid for the eppies that won't air? They did film them, but I've always been curious about what happens if the eppied don't air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 11, 2013 Members Share Posted April 11, 2013 I think they get paid for everything they filmed. Not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted April 11, 2013 Members Share Posted April 11, 2013 I tried too since I like Jessica Lucas and Alona Tal but it was just too weird.. There is a reason this show was not picked up almost 10 years ago or so when Matt Bomer was attached to it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
