Fan-favorite Bruce Campbell had pages of one-liners ready as he took the stage alongside Burn Notice creator, Matt Nix. Always charismatic (and dressed boldly in a white sport coat, pink shirt and green pants) Campbell was on hand to joke with the crowd and talk about Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe. Although the USA made-for-tv movie debuted on the network this past April, it’s now available on Blu-ray and DVD exclusively at Comic Con. While fans of Burn Notice will be happy to know that the series has been extended for season six, fans of Bruce Campbell (Sam Axe) will want to keep reading. Recently, Campbell tweeted about the progress of Evil Dead 4 but has said little else since then. He addressed the “elephant in the room” right off the bat. Hit the jump to see what he said.

I’m a big fan of Burn Notice so when Collider was offered the chance to ask Bruce Campbell five questions about the show and its upcoming prequel movie Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, I leaped at the opportunity.  I asked Campbell if the events of Fall of Sam Axe will factor into the show’s fifth season, how much input he had into the script, whether he was surprised by any elements of Sam’s backstory, and how the movie will retain the vibe of the series.  I also asked if we’ll be seeing the estranged Mrs. Axe this season.

To find out Campbell’s answers, hit the jump.  Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe premieres Sunday, April 17th at 9/8c on USA.

Fans of the USA series Burn Notice and Bruce Campbell better buckle up, because you’re in for one hell of a ride. Today the cable network announced that series star Jeffrey Donovan (who plays Michael Westen) is set to direct the prequel movie that features Bruce Campbell’s character Sam Axe. The story is set in late 2005 after a faction of Colombian rebels makes trouble for the locally stationed military platoon, and Lieutenant Commander Sam Axe is sent down to advise. As the mission unfolds, Sam begins to uncover the dark secrets of the area, learning the truth about sacrifice, deception, and ultimately what’s worth fighting for.

Series creator Matt Nix is writing the script and will executive produce with Donovan and Campbell. For those worries about Donovan’s directing skills, he’s already directed one episode of Burn Notice, so he should be ready to go. Hit the jump for the official press release.

Jeff Eastin is the creator and executive producer of the popular USA Network original series White Collar, about the unlikely partnership of con artist Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) and FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay).

After graduating from Colorado State University with a degree in journalism, he landed a position as director of photography on two Roger Corman films that were being shot locally, before heading out to try his luck in Hollywood. He soon wrote a movie that Jamie Foxx starred in, and then began to get involved with television, doing a UPN series called Shasta and creating Hawaii for NBC, eventually making his way to the USA Network with White Collar.

During a recent interview, writer/executive producer Jeff Eastin talked about how White Collar came about, why he thinks the show works so well and where he plans to take it in Season 2. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

If you’ve read my DVD reviews for season one and season two of USA’s Burn Notice, then you know that I’m kind of in love with the show.  It has a formula and it (mostly) continues to work due to strong performances and sharp writing.  What I like most about the Burn Notice is that it’s redefined my notion of what a spy thriller can be.  It doesn’t negate a show like Chuck or the James Bond movies, but its matter-of-fact tone is a fresh take on the genre that you won’t find anywhere else.

Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) says in the show’s intro, “As long as you’re burned, you’re not going anywhere.”  Hit the jump for my take on where Burn Notice went in its third season.

I didn’t get a chance to review the Fox’s summer buddy cop hourlong comedy The Good Guys in advance of its “sneak preview” in front of American Idol a couple weeks ago, but mind you that’s no indication of quality.  And lucky for me, Fox has deemed tonight’s move to its regular slot of Mondays 9/8 c the “series premire”, which gives me a second chance to shine some light on this fun romp of a summer show.

Hit the jump for a review of the first two episodes of The Good Guys after the jump.

According to Variety, HBO’s The Pacific, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’ highly-awaited, spiritual-sequel to Band of Brothers, is set to air its first of ten parts on March 14 with a new hour-long episode set to air every Sunday through May 16th.  The miniseries follows the Pacific campaign of World War II and stars James Badge Dale (24), Jon Seda (Bad Boys II), and Joseph Mazzello (Jurassic Park).

Hit the jump to learn about new casting in J.J. Abrams’ new show Undercovers and in Jack and Dan, the new show from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix.  Plus, check out a new poster for the third season of Chuck and when SyFy will be airing a Chuck marathon in preparation for the show’s season premiere.

In the past several months, I’ve lost interest in television.  Even shows I really like aren’t appointment viewing anymore with DVR, online downloads, and streaming content.  But I refuse to miss a single episode of Matt Nix’s “Burn Notice” which, for me, has redefined my notions of the spy genre far more than the Bourne series.  It’s not that either is bad, but the instructional narration and witty dialogue make “Burn Notice” and absolute delight.  So when I hear that Nix has a new action-comedy and it stars Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks, I’m already in.  Hit the jump for details on Nix’s upcoming show, “Jack and Dan”.

One of the best series on basic cable over the past few seasons has been USA’s “Burn Notice”.  Though “Burn” ratings are great for the market, creator Matt Nix now has the opportunity to reach a much wider audience with his newest venture – another cop procedural called “Jack and Dan”.  The new series has just received a 13 episode order from Fox TV.  Details after the jump.

I’ll keep saying it till it isn’t true: “Burn Notice” is one of the best shows on television.  It’s unbelievably smart, confident, cool, funny, and exciting.  I’m not surprised that fourth-place NBC hasn’t had the smarts to try and grab the show from USA (which is owned by NBC-Universal) and test it out on network primetime where it could have a chance of doing some serious damage.  But for now it’s one of the highest-rated shows on cable and with good reason.
