  • Interview with Emily Deschanel by OUR HEN HOUSE Published August 24, 2013
    Interview with Emily Deschanel By OUR HEN HOUSE Published August 24, 2013 Following is a transcript of an interview with EMILY DESCHANEL conducted by JASMIN SINGER and MARIANN SULLIVAN of Our Hen House, for the Our Hen House podcast. The interview was conducted by telephone on August 13, 2013. JASMIN: Emily Deschanel stars on Fox’s hit show Bones, a drama noted for its light comedic undertone, which will soon be filming its ninth, yes, ninth, season. The darkly amusing series features Emily as Dr. Temperance Brennan, a brilliant but emotionally stunted forensic anthropologist who writes novels as a sideline and has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim’s bones. Emily’s performance has garnered her three Teen Choice Award nominations for Choice TV Actress-Drama, and two People’s Choice Award nominations for Favorite TV Drama Actress, as well as a nomination for Favorite TV Crime Fighter. Emily was recently seen in Anne Renton’s independent comedy The Perfect Family, where she played a successful lawyer who struggles with telling her religious mother she is pregnant and in a loving, committed relationship with another woman. She also starred in Nick Cassavetes’ My Sister’s Keeper and can be seen in Jerry Bruckheimer’s Glory Road. A passionate animal rights activist and long-time vegan, Emily has worked with Farm Sanctuary, the Humane Society, and Mercy for Animals. She has also been involved with Women for Women International and Five Acres. Welcome to Our Hen House, Emily! EMILY: Thank you so much! I’m very glad to be here.

  • December 2015 Client Alert: Bones Complaints: Did Fox Properly Account for Hulu Monies? by Ezra Doner* Twentieth Century Fox
    December 2015 Client Alert: Bones Complaints: Did Fox Properly Account for Hulu monies? By Ezra Doner* Twentieth Century Fox produces the hit TV series Bones for its broadcast network and also makes the series available on Hulu of which it is a one-third owner. Did Fox properly report and share monies it received from its license of Bones to Hulu? Two complaints recently filed by revenue participants claim it did not.1 The Big Picture As new media technologies and services continue to develop, revenue participants want the opportunity to shape corresponding licensing practices. This is especially true when a distributor, such as Fox, licenses to a new media company, such as Hulu, which Fox co-owns. These new Bones cases raise issues I previously explored in posts about The Walking Dead and Harlequin Books. Bones, the Series Bones, a one-hour crime procedural, debuted on the Fox broadcast network in September 2005 and is now in its 11thseason, making it Fox’s longest running one-hour drama ever. As of the date of this writing, a remarkable 220 episodes have aired. The TV series is based on the “Temperance Brennan” book franchise by Kathy Reichs, a forensic anthropologist. The stars of the series are Emily Deschanel as Brennan and David Boreanaz as Agent Booth. Barry Josephson, an originator of the series, has been an executive producer since inception. The Plaintiffs Reichs, Deschanel and Boreanaz are plaintiffs in one of the recent complaints, and Josephson is the plaintiff in the other. Per the complaints, the plaintiffs’ profits participations are: Reichs, 5%; Deschanel and Boreanaz, 3% each; and Josephson, a “significant” but unspecified percentage.

In particular, ideas of people possessing powers, knowledge, or skills that are far beyond a simple human’s ability have captured the imagination. Recently, Harry Potter has stormed the world with his magical wizarding skills and vampires have been re-created apart from their history of bloodthirsty killers in shows like True Blood and Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well as the Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series. At the same time, our culture has been particularly interested in science and technology as a means of gaining superpowers. In reading Alan Morre’s graphic novel, The Watchmen, we will discuss his critique of science and technology through the superhero. Finally, in the midst of all of these differing discourses surrounding the supernatural, shows like Bones combat the supernatural by presenting science and empirical thinking as a way of thinking through the same cultural issues that the supernatural also addresses. Finally, we will look at The Fringe as a show that combines the supernatural and the scientific in order to present a science fiction representation of
