Locke & Key, a supernatural thriller produced by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Star Trek, Fringe), had generated plenty of buzz — the pilot was described as “beautiful” and “magical” — but there were indications in the past couple of weeks that Fox had cooled on the project. All is not lost, though: The Hollywood Reporter indicates the pilot, which starred Miranda Otto, Jesse McCartney, Nick Stahl and Sarah Bolger, could be shopped to another network.”

]]>]]>What was it like working with Jesse McCartney on the advertising campaign for “Wanted by Jesse”?
M: Jesse is such a professional he makes it really easy to work with. I love the classic look he has, so anytime he is in the frame he brings a sense of nostalgia to the photography. When he’s in a suit he has that classic strength like James Bond.
R: Jesse is a fantastic professional. Besides being a popular singer, he’s an actor, so he’s totally confident on set. I believe that Jesse, Michael and I, along with the whole crew, have done a great shooting.You have been on a lot of shoots with celebrities, was Jesse difficult to work with?
M: No, Jesse is very mellow and very easy to work with, because he acts also, he takes direction well and commands the scene.How did you come up with the concept for the “Wanted by Jesse” Ad campaign?
R: It hasn’t been so difficult. As I usually do, when I need inspiration for a campaign, I try to get as much information on the person/product as I can. The idea for Wanted by Jesse came in my mind while watching few videos of Jesse’s concerts. I remember these girls getting wild because of him. He was totally ‘desired’ by them.
In our case, for this campaign, I had to invert the parts, and put one of his fans, in the situation of being ‘wanted’ by Jesse because of her little secret, which is the fragrance she’s wearing.What determined the kind of shots and angles you decided to take while working on “Wanted by Jesse”?
M: Because we were shooting sound for the commercial and also stills to shoot with different backgrounds we chose to shoot in a studio. We picked the angles to work with the sets we built and to work with the background actors.
How do fragrance campaigns differ from other projects that you work on?
M: A fragrance campaign has to build romanticism, a longing, like a good fashion campaign. The viewer has to respond and want to be the person in the ad.
R: I’ve actually been working for many campaigns for several industries before starting my experience at First American Brands, which is a fragrance design company. I have to admit that working on the advertising for the launch of a fragrance is something that really differs from other products. At the same time, it stimulated and interested me.
It’s all about communicating real emotions, atmospheres, and catching details that relate the fragrance to its “creator”, as well as the character(s) to the audience.

]]>Although Simon Cowell is expected to reveal the full line-up within the next few days, last-minute contenders Jesse McCartney and Julianne Hough held formal auditions with Fox executives this week.
Both have what it takes to succeed. Singer-songwriter-actor-all-round teen-heartthrob Jesse, 25, co-wrote Leona Lewis’ hit single, Bleeding Love, so is already pretty cosy with Cowell.Meanwhile Country star, Julianne, below, is Derek’s baby sister – yep, as in the Derek going out with heavily-tipped US judge Cheryl Cole.
Oh, and just to complicate things further, Julianne is dating Ryan Seacrest, host of rival series, American Idol, Cowell’s old show and now overseen by his arch enemy, Simon Fuller.
I’m told: “Simon believes Jesse has the right look for the show, and would appeal to both grans and young girls. While Julianne looks fantastic on camera and has quite a high profile in the States.
“Cheryl would love Julianne to be involved as they’ve met through Derek. She’d like a friendly face on board.””
