Scott, Scott on the Range


We do not get nearly enough Scott Speedman news -- when was the last time I saw him, David Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future? -- so I jumped on this when it got announced yesterday: him and The Handmaid's Tale's stellar Yvonne Stravinski are set to lead a new horror series from producer James Wan! It's called Teacup and it's based on the book Stinger by Robert McCammon and here is how it is decribed:

"The series follows a disparate group of people on a ranch who must come together in the face of a mysterious threat."

Wow, so wildly specific! Also working on the show (I think as the showrunner or head-writer at least although Deadline isn't super clear) is Yellowstone writer Ian McCulloch, so from that fact and that vague description I am guessing this is just Yellowstone with monsters. Which, sure, give me Scott Speedman as a dirty ranchhand in tight jeans and/or chaps fighting monsters, I'll happily watch that. (I'll add that a cursory look at the book's Amazon description offers a lot more info -- think giant space bugs.)

Scott is cute as a button.

I wonder if he will come over for coffee?

Never followed him much. My recent introduction to him in Gray's Anatomy. The show has its ups and downs and I mainly fast-forward through each episode.
