Fox has ordered two additional scripts for comedy Breaking In a month after the network passed on the comedy pilot starring Christian Slater. The pilot, set at a digital-security firm, was written by Adam F. Goldberg and directed by Seth Gordon. It had buzz, tested well and was in the running for a series pickup before ultimately missing the cut. Now, with the additional script order, producing studio Sony Pictures TV is also expected to extend the options on the cast that also includes Reaper star Bret Harrison. This would prevent Harrison from being considered for the role on new NBC comedy series Perfect Couples, which is recasting a male lead. [SOURCE]

Things with Bret are quiet right now. We will keep you updated if anything changes or if there’s anything big to report!

Christian Slater (“The Forgotten”) and Trevor Moore (“The Whitest Kids U’Know”) have booked the final principal roles on the comedy pilot, about a team of twentysomething geniuses who crack security systems. Slater will play Oz, their leader, “a gruff, rough and tough misanthrope; a total bad ass; think a 35 year-old Gerard Butler.” Moore then is set as Josh Armstrong, the team’s recon and intel expert, who’s “slick and cocky as The Situation… only 100 pounds fatter.” The duo join the previously cast Alphonso McAuley, Bret Harrison and Odette Yustman in the half-hour, which Seth Gordon is directing. Adam F. Goldberg penned the project for Sony Pictures Television. [SOURCE]

“Security” is an office comedy about a cute but awkward guy who joins a digital security firm and fits in among the oddball geniuses there. Bret Harrison (“Reaper”) has been cast. It was written by Adam Goldberg (“Still Standing”). [SOURCE]

“That ’70s Show” star Laura Prepon is set to co-star opposite Danny Wallace in the ABC comedy “Awkward Situations for Men,” “Reaper” leading man Bret Harrison has been tapped as the lead on Fox’s untitled Adam Goldberg comedy, and “The Sopranos” alum Michael Kelly has joined CBS’ “Criminal Minds” spinoff.

“Situations” stars British on-air personality Wallace as himself as he moves to the U.S. with wife Meg (Prepon), only to discover that his everyday behavior clashes with American values and gets him into trouble. Meg works at a smoothie shop for a boss (Matt Letscher) with whom she once had a fling.

The untitled Goldberg single-camera comedy, directed by Seth Gordon, revolves around twentysomething geniuses (one played by Harrison) who crack computer security systems.

The UTA-repped Harrison developed a multicamera comedy for CBS and UMS this season.

CBS’ “Criminal Minds” spinoff, which will be introduced in the spring on an episode of “Criminal Minds,” revolves around a new group of profilers led by Cooper (Forest Whitaker) who work outside the FBI bureaucracy.

Kelly, whose credits include “Changeling” and HBO’s “Generation Kill,” will play a member of the squad, a former gang-banger looking for redemption. [source]
