“Prison Break,” the highly serialized drama from director-producer Brett Ratner (“Rush Hour 3”) and writer-producer Paul Scheuring (“A Man Apart”), will be back next season, Fox announced Monday.
The fourth season will follow the characters after they escape a Panama prison. Perhaps in the fifth season they’ll bust out of an alien prison on another planet.

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here with one of two interviews I conducted recently with cast members from the upcoming release FIRST SNOW, a dark and thought-provoking work that doesn't easily fit into any genre and features a whole lot of great work from its cast. Yes, this small film is getting a whole lot of coverage on this site, since Quint has already given us interviews with the film's director and co-writer Mark Fergus (CLICK HERE FOR THAT) and star Guy Pearce (CLICK HERE FOR THAT ONE!). But the film has some great actors in it, and I jumped at the opportunity to interview two of Pearce's co-stars, not necessarily because they have huge parts in FIRST SNOW but because they are people I've just always wanted to chat with about the sum total of their respective careers. First up is William Fichtner, one of my absolute all-time favorite character actors, who, thanks to his recent television work (first on "Invasion" and now on "Prison Break") is being looked at seriously as leading man material. The guy just turned 50, and he has such an impressive list of films to his name, including the early Steven Soderbergh film UNDERNEATH, STRANGE DAYS, HEAT, CONTACT (probably the role most people first remember him from, as Jodie Foster's blind co-worker), ARMADEDDON, GO, PERFECT STORM, PEARL HARBOR, BLACK HAWK DOWN, NINE LIVES, THE LONGEST YARD, and the HBO film EMPIRE FALLS. He's also got a very funny bit part in BLADES OF GLORY.
