Isaacs joins "REM"

REM is being labeled an Inception-like pilot written by Kyle Killen, who wrote the amazing Lone Star that was incidentally canceled 2-episodes into it's season, has found it's star in Jason Isaacs. Isaacs is best well known for Harry Potter probably, but I remember him as the criminal brother in Brotherhood which aired on Showtime. It was a great show with a great cast, and ended prematurely.

Speaking of Movie Stars taking a turn towards television:

Maria Bello is planning on taking on the role made famous by Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect. This would be a US remake of a successful UK series.

Ashley Judd has been tapped to play the lead in ABC's Missing about a CIA Agent (Judd) who travels overseas to find her missing son.

Also, he's not a movie star, but Keifer Sutherland is returning to FOX in Tim Kring's new show Touch.

Unrelated note: Everyone should be watching Shawn Ryan's "Chicago Code" on FOX. It airs Mondays at 9pm.
