Behind the Turbulence of Nighthawks (1981): Sylvester Stallone, Rutger Hauer, and the Lost Cuts of an 80s Thriller
The Forgotten Origins of a 1980s Cop Thriller Before Nighthawks (1981) became a Sylvester Stallone vehicle, it began as something entirely different — a third entry in The French Connection series. The plan was for Gene Hackman to reprise his role as Popeye Doyle, once again pitted against international terrorists. But when Hackman turned the project down, the script was hastily rewritten, giving the story a new lead cop while retaining the same gritty, urban terrorism premise.

Reviewing "9-1-1: Nashville" Following Their Series-Opening Arc
I have really enjoyed the 9-1-1 franchise for nearly a decade now, and of course, I got into this because I've been a Ryan Murphy fan ever since Nip/Tuck. It's hard to believe that the original series is in its ninth season, having premiered during the heart of the 2017-18 TV season; originally on Fox before making the move to ABC during Season Seven. The original series takes place in Los Angeles, while the first spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star, took place in Texas, and just recently ended its run.
