Brandon Routh To Star in NBC's 'Fear Itself'

Zap2It reports that Brandon Routh has signed on to star in NBC's upcoming series "Fear Itself."

NBC's upcoming series "Fear Itself" will feature Superman and one of "Mad Men's" women, and the directors of "American Psycho," "Re-Animator" and three of the "Saw" movies are on board as well.

The show, a suspense and horror anthology a la Showtime's "Masters of Horror" (and hailing from some of the same producers), is slated to premiere later this year. Its 13-episode run will feature installments directed by the likes of Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator"), Mary Harron ("American Psycho"), John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London") and Ernest Dickerson ("The Wire," "Heroes").

"We've teamed up with some of the most illustrious writers, actors and directors to create a distinctive, scare-filled series that will push the boundaries of this classic genre," says Teri Weinberg, executive vice president of NBC Entertainment. "'Fear Itself' will deliver memorable and horrifying moments that will keep fans on the edge of their seats." Read the full article here
