NBC wants viewers to ‘Believe’ in family By Kate O’Hare © Zap2it

One theme that runs through much of J.J. Abrams’ work as a writer and producer is family, from the ad hoc families of the college students on “Felicity” and the castaways of “Lost” to the father-daughter drama of “Alias,” the husband-wife drama of “Undercovers” and the father-son drama of “Fringe.” Whatever situation the characters land in — and some of these shows have very fantastical premises — the core of the story is people struggling with, or forming, close family bonds. Expect more of the same when Abrams’ latest project, “Believe,” premieres Monday, March 10, on NBC. Created by Alfonso Cuaron (“Gravity”) and Mark Friedman for Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions — with Jonas Pate and Hans Tobeason as the current showrunners — it centers on 10-year-old Bo (Johnny Sequoyah), a precocious girl who was also born with a range of unusual powers, including levitation, telekinesis and precognition. But she’s not fully in control of what she can do, and there are dark forces in the world who would like to exploit her, led by Roman Skouras (Kyle MacLachlan). So her protector, Milton Winter (Delroy Lindo), turns to an unlikely person — wrongfully imprisoned death-row inmate Tate (Jake McLaughlin) — to be her guardian as they move from town to town, one step ahead of danger. As to the possible reason Tate was chosen for the job, says

By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it STARTING THIS WEEK (New releases): “INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS”: Filmmaking siblings Joel and Ethan Coen (“Fargo,” “No Country for Old Men”) again earned wide acclaim for their portrait of a fictional early-1960s folk singer, superbly played by Oscar Isaac. While he may lack social graces, Llewyn Davis has undeniable talent, which he tries to parlay into stardom as he encounters a variety of people during a weeklong odyssey. John Goodman gives an especially colorful performance

MacLachlan over lunch during a press event featuring the cast members in Pasadena, Calif., in January, “I would not even begin to suppose on that.” “What I would say with regard to their relationship,” says Lindo of Bo and Tate, “is there’s a much bigger picture that I am attempting to bring together, and they’re part of that bigger picture.” There’s even a little sibling rivalry in Winter’s group. Says Jamie Chung, who plays Winter’s protegee Channing, “I have a trust in Winter and his decisions, but I think Tate’s a brute. I think I would be a better candidate.” Emotions also play into Channing’s faith in Winter. “I am paternal,” Lindo says. “I have a paternal relationship certainly with the character that Jamie plays. That’s a good characteristic to have as a basis for that part of our relationship.” “In this storyline,” says Chung, “Winter is her mentor, but in real life also, in a person way, if I want to try something as an actor, I feel like Delroy will say, ‘Just give it a try.’ ” Meanwhile, at another table sit MacLaughin and Sequoyah, and there’s a whole other fatherdaughter thing going on. As for playing a surrogate dad to Bo, McLaughlin (“In the Valley of Elah”), an Army veteran who was injured fighting in Iraq, says, “I’m not only a dad (in real life) but a dad with a daughter the same age. My daughter’s 11.” Says Sequoyah, “He basically treats her the same way he treats me.”

Jake McLaughlin “I’m not mean,” says McLaughlin. “I’m a nice guy.” “I’m trying to train him,” says Sequoyah. “Table manners,” says McLaughlin. “We’re working on that now.” Although McLaughlin is a father, Tate is thrown in at the deep end of unknown waters. “I’m put in a situation,” says McLaughlin of his character, “where I’m extremely reluctant to take on that role. I’m trying to get out of it at every corner. I don’t know how to deal with kids. I don’t like kids. I don’t have anything to do with that. As the show continues on, you’ll see that there

becomes a level of attachment from both of our sides.” Even though the situations are often life and death, Bo never stops being a kid, and Sequoyah likes it that way. “The thing is,” she says, “you think Bo would be all serious, but she’s not. When a serious scene is going on, she’ll be dancing. They don’t play her as a serious person unless something really serious is going on. Most of the time, she’s happy.” But there’s a downside to being so young. “A lot of the powers,” says McLaughlin, “they’re manifested through an emotion that she’s not controlling.”

THE VIEW FROM THE COUCH

Oscar Isaac of “Inside Llewyn Davis” in a cast that also includes Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, F. Murray Abraham and Garrett Hedlund. ››› (R: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “THE BOOK THIEF”: A youngster in World War II-era Ger-

many is the title character in this acclaimed adaptation of Markus Zusak’s novel, casting Sophie Nelisse as the girl who shares the books she’s stolen with the Jewish refugee (Ben Schnetzer) being sheltered by her foster parents (Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson). The story has echoes of “The Diary of Anne Frank,” but it also stands on its own as a meaningful and affecting tale as directed by Brian Percival (“Downton Abbey”). ››› (PG-13: AS, V) (Also on Blu-ray; starts March 25 on On Demand) “OUT OF THE FURNACE”: In his follow-up to the Oscar-winning “Crazy Heart,” director and co-

writer Scott Cooper again enlists an impressive cast in a story of people living on the fringes. Christian Bale plays an ex-convict released back into his Pennsylvania steel town and trying to find out what’s happened to his war veteran brother (Casey Affleck), who became involved in dealings with a very unsavory fellow (Woody Harrelson). Forest Whitaker, Zoe Saldana, Willem Dafoe and Sam Shepard also are featured in the grim but involving drama, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Ridley Scott among its producers. ››› (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)

“HOMEFRONT”: It’s rare that Sylvester Stallone writes a movie he also didn’t have some other hand in, but that’s the case with his screenplay — based on a Chuck Logan novel — for this familiar but effective melodrama starring Jason Statham as an exDEA agent seeking a quieter life for himself and his young daughter (Izabela Vidovic). They move to a town where he eventually ends up in a battle with a local drug lord (James Franco). ››› (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “JFK: THE SMOKING GUN”: After it fared well in ratings and awards with its acquisition of the

miniseries “The Kennedys,” the channel Reelz carried its association with the subject into this documentary, which — along with an accompanying book — initially marked the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. A former policeman in Australia, Colin McLaren, applied modern techniques to reports and evidence of the crime to come up with his own conclusions on what happened that day in Dallas, and he presents his findings her. ››› (Not rated: P, V) FAMILY VIEWING GUIDE KEY: AS, adult situations; N, nudity; P, profanity; V, violence; GV, particularly graphic violence.
