Naja, sie haben ja auch 2 komplette Filmteams, die sich im 2-Wochenrhythmus abwechseln. Während das eine Team dreht ist das andere Team mit den Vorbereitungen für die Dreharbeiten zur nächsten Folge beschäftigt.

Russel Friend und Garret Lerner schreiben das Skript zu einer Neuverfilmung von „Frankenstein“

NBC Gives Life to ‚Frankenstein‘ Reboot

NBC is following in FX’s footsteps and exploring the horror genre, with a script order for Frankenstein.

The script, described as a modern-day take on the legend of Frankenstein, will be penned by House executive producers Russel Friend and Garrett Lerner for Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun.

The script order follows FX’s series order for Glee duo Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s “psycho-sexual” horror drama American Horror Story, which FX topper John Landgraf referred to as a “breakthrough commercial piece of television that’s going to be imitated widely if people find it.”

Universal Studios owns the intellectual property rights to Frankenstein, as well as such other classic characters as Dracula, the Wolfman and the Mummy.

The legend of Frankenstein was first told via Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel. The first film project, directed by J. Searle Dawley, came in 1910, with reboots including Universal’s 1931 Boris Karloff starrer. Universal was behind a series of films featuring the classic characters from 1942-48. The character was famously spoofed via Mel Brooks’ 1974 spoof Young Frankenstein.

The story was adapted for TV in 1973 with Leonard Whiting, Michael Sarrazin, James Mason and Jane Seymour. Other takes have included the TNT telefilm in 1993 with Patrick Bergin and Randy Quaid.

Interview mit David Shore Globo Vídeos – VIDEO – Descubra o que inspirou David Shore para criar House

Interview mit John Sotos (Medical technical adviser, House) Es ist schon vom Oktober, aber mir bisher noch nicht unter die Finger gekommen:

Bona fides: Trained as a transplantation cardiologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. While a medical student, developed an interest in unusual signs of disease and wrote the book Zebra Cards.

How did you wind up on House?

“A friend of mine called me up and said, ‘Hey there’s a show on and the doctor reminds me of you.’ I don’t think she was saying that because she thought I was a jerk, but rather because of the technical topics that were being presented. So I watched a few episodes and I thought, ‘By George, this is sort of up my line.’ So I sent House a copy of my book, and a couple months later they invited me to come down.”

What kind of things are you asked to check or track? What’s your process?

“I get every draft of every script and I red-ink it for medical accuracy and — I like to think — for social responsibility as well. Some of the writers will call me pretty early in the process and say, ‘Hey, I have a character idea and I need some medicine to go with it.’”

Can you give us an example?

“One of the writers called me up and said, ‘I’d like to write a story about a porn star.’ And when you say ‘porn star’ to a physician, certain medical risks come to mind and, of course, we don’t want to follow the usual medical risks that come to mind at all. And that’s what we did. We thought of a set of conditions in which living too hygienic a life can lead to medical problems. So we decided to afflict this star with one of those diseases.

“Another time, a writer called me up and said, ‘I’d like this patient to present with a pretty common symptom. So, I thought, ‘Well sniffles are pretty common and Hansen’s disease (leprosy) can cause the sniffles. But not everybody with sniffles has Hansen’s disease. We ended up not using the sniffles part, but we did end up using the Hansen’s part. The writer decided to use formication — the sensation that insects are crawling on your skin.”

Do you ever advise Hugh Laurie about manners of speaking or anything?

“All of the characters’ words are very carefully written in the scripts. So I get the sense that there’s little to no ad-libbing. Occasionally there are questions about pronunciation on some of the medical words, but there’s a pronunciation guide with every episode. We have a full-time, on-set nurse, and she handles a lot of those types of questions.”

What kind of changes do you make to a typical script?

“Some of it is just vocabulary. For instance, they will use a phrase like ‘chest pain.’ Well, good doctors don’t talk about ‘chest pain’ because the sensation of angina isn’t really pain, it’s pressure or discomfort. So I’ll just change that word. Some things are more substantive. One thing we have quite frequently in the show are differential diagnoses, where the patient has presented with some set of symptoms and the team is throwing out various possibilities. Sometimes I’ll get a script and the various possible diagnoses that are written don’t really fit, so I will clean that up.”

What about bigger-picture storylines or medical problems that run through the whole episode?

“Sometimes a writer will say, ‘I need to get from Point A to Point B. I have the patient with this set of symptoms and in the end I want him to need an MRI of his brain.’ So then you have to construct a plausible hypothesis that gets you to the brain. That can be quite challenging.”

Yeah, how would you do that? How do you get from, say, a twitching finger to an MRI?

“There are different levels of ways to link two things together. If somebody has a twitching finger and you want to get to his brain, you might say he’s having a seizure in a certain part of his brain that might be linked to a tumor up there. That’s a well-known clinical relationship, though. If no such relationship exists then what I generally do is fall back on mechanistic connects — the physiology of the human body. There was an episode in Season 3 or 4 where we had to get from the brain to the heart. The writer and I were having a lot of trouble. Finally, I just found an article that said asymmetric activation of the mid-brain can have an effect on the function of heart. That was something that I hadn’t even known before. Very few practicing physicians even know that.”

Tell me about last week’s “lungs in a box” thing.

“We have a full-time physician on the writing staff, and he wrote that episode. So I really didn’t have to weigh in as much as I usually do. Most of my red inks were pretty minor. I did suggest a joke they didn’t use. But they did talk a bit about the lung anatomy. The lung is divided into several lobes. I just had to clean up the way they were talking about the lobes. It was a very minor anatomical fix. That’s an atypical episode.”

What’s the biggest error you’ve ever caught in a script?

“When the first draft of a script comes out, it’s eight to 10 days until shooting starts. So if you see a big problem, you really can’t change the engine in the car with eight days to go. I remember one script I got had to do with a 5- or 6-year-old girl who had been exposed to testosterone cream and had started to menstruate as a result. That was a problem I couldn’t fix. Menstruation is caused by female hormones, multiple hormones, rising and falling in a choreographed way. To get a male hormone to trigger this physiology, I just didn’t see any way that was possible. I couldn’t throw in a sentence or two to fix it. There was no way we could substitute something else. So I just swallowed hard and said, ‘We’re just going to have to take our lumps on this.’ Three years later, I was reading a journal article about precocious puberty and I learn that exposure to testosterone can trigger central puberty. In other words, it can turn on a center in the brain that starts normal puberty going at an early age, so this would be an explanation for what this writer wrote. I called this writer up and said, ‘Did you know about this?’ But I’m not going to tell you what she said.”

Has there ever been an error that made it to air that you wished you’d had caught?

“It’s usually minor stuff. I went to Hopkins and there we revere a physician named Osler. And the pronunciation came out wrong. My heart just sank when I heard that. It was like I let my people down back in Baltimore.”

Mindy Peterman hat Bobbin Bergstrom ( Medical/Technical Advisor bei „House“) interviewed

Where are you from originally?

I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of LA.

Are others in your family in the medical field?

My grandmother was a licensed practical nurse in New York before she married my granddad. My sister and cousin both became RNs after I graduated from nursing school and started working.

Your knowledge of medicine has given shows like Six Feet Under, The Practice, and Felicity a sense of realism they might not otherwise have had. Please explain how you went from being a registered nurse to working as a med-tech in the entertainment business.

I went to nursing school with the intention of doing exactly this job. An old family friend introduced the idea to me and I went for it. It wasn’t until about two or three years after I graduated before I went to work on my first show. I was very fortunate to know someone in the business.

You’ve been with House from the beginning of its run. Please give a quick overview of what your job as a med-tech entails.

Yes, I have been with the show since episode one (excluding the pilot which was shot in Canada). Basically my job consists of reviewing the first published draft of the scripts. Then I pose my initial questions and concerns during our first meeting as a company (this is called a concept meeting). Revisions are made and additional meetings are held, including a specific medical/technical meeting along with props, VFX, special effects, make up and art department during which I might suggest that a patient should be in ICU vs. a regular medical bed, or a six-year-old must be in a pediatric ward vs. general adult ward, which could affect the decor or even the use of different (smaller) equipment, etc.

I make corrections in the dialogue that might include using the wrong instrument in the script or stage directions, or the adjustment of symptoms to fit the illnesses. Additionally, I instruct the actors how to perform medical procedures and surgeries or how to „act“ out the symptoms (i.e. a seizure). I work with the costume department regarding what attire and personal protective gear should be worn. Things like that.

What would you say has been the most rewarding aspect of being part of such a long-running show?

Well, I guess the definition of success in the industry is longevity and ratings. Getting to be a part of such a popular show with such talented people is extremely rewarding.

Do the writers ever call on you with medical questions while crafting their scripts?

Yes. Usually I get involved with the script at the first published draft. Sometimes we can talk about something many times and then it just doesn’t block out when we rehearse it so the writer or director or even the actor will ask for a different task or word, etc. Sometimes I provide that for them.

What is a typical workday like for you?

I’m usually on set by 7 A.M. for a private rehearsal and then throughout the day/week I will attend the meetings to prep for the next episode or do a pre-rehearsal with the cast. For example, for the OR scenes I will work with the actors first, place them and show them the physical tasks to match the dialogue and/or the surgery that is supposed to be occurring.
