You gotta believe

Director knew this winning story would score on film.
It has been 20 years since Robert Collector directed a film. Back in the mid-’80s he made a couple of forgettable genre pictures, but when he gained custody of his young children he decided to stick with writing screenplays so he could work at home.
Now, though, the kids are grown, and Collector has once again gotten behind the camera. The result is “Believe in Me,” a funny and emotional sports movie about a young basketball coach who finds himself running a girls high school team in ’60s Oklahoma.
“I’m the longest overnight success story around,” the 58-year-old Collector said in a phone interview from L.A. “I’m one of those lunch bucket guys who write scripts that people like but which never get made into movies. I fix other people’s scripts. I write for cable and TV. People in the industry know me, but I’m unknown to the public.”
Perhaps not for long. “Believe in Me” is one of those stand-up-and-cheer flicks that will please not only sports junkies but also an audience not usually drawn to sports movies: women.

Jeffrey’s ‘Crossing Jordan’ Episode to Air in 2007
Dec 1, 2006 Television Leave a comment
The powerful drama Crossing Jordan (Sundays, 10-11 p.m. ET, beginning January 21) from NBCs Heroes executive producer Tim Kring heads into its sixth season and continues to explore disturbing topical crimes, while following a cadre of coroners who use their forensic skills to help the Boston police department bring murderers to justice and closure to victims families.
Jill Hennessy (NBCs Law & Order) stars as Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh, a sexy, smart and fearless medical examiner with a checkered past. She works under the guidance of Dr. Garrett Macy (Miguel Ferrer, Traffic), the no-nonsense head of the morgue, and alongside Detective Woodrow Woody Hoyt (Jerry OConnell, Jerry Maguire), who puts in the legwork to hunt down the perpetrators of crimes. Yet, Jordans unorthodox methods constantly test her professional and personal relationships.
Additional support for the investigative team is provided by grief counselor Lily Lebowski (Kathryn Hahn, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), forensic entomologist Bug (Ravi Kapoor, Gideons Crossing) and criminalist Nigel Townsend (Steve Valentine, The Muse). This season, trouble is in store for Jordan and her colleagues when Special Prosecutor William Ivers (Jeffrey Donovan, Touching Evil) is appointed to investigate the morgue; and Kate Switzer (Brooke Smith, Silence of the Lambs), a prickly medical examiner, joins the coroners office.
Crossing Jordan is from Tailwind Productions in association with NBC Universal Television Studio. Kring (Heroes) is creator and executive producer; Dennis Hammer (Heroes), Allan Arkush (”Heroes), Jon Cowan (”American Dreams”), Robert Rovner (”American Dreams”) and Kathy McCormick (NBC’s “Law & Order”) are executive producers.

British actress Gabrielle Anwar will co-star opposite Jeffrey Donovan in USA Network’s drama pilot “Burn Notice.”
Set in Miami, “Burn” centers on Michael Weston (Donovan), a blacklisted Special Ops agent who uses his elite training to find the reason for the “burn notice” that ended his spy career as well as to help those who can’t go to the police.
Anwar will play Weston’s ex, a former IRA terrorist and expert at survival tactics who has a love-hate relationship with him.
Sharon Gless will play Weston’s mother, a lonely, an aging chain smoker who has issues with her son. Bruce Campbell will play a former Navy SEAL who is an old friend of Weston’s.
Production is slated to begin Tuesday in Miami.
Anwar next stars opposite Noah Wyle in the TNT movie “The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines” and opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers on the Showtime series “The Tudors.”
