CARTER
LANDS A NEW SERIES "VIVA LAUGHLIN!"
Executive
produced by Tony and Emmy Award winner Hugh Jackman ("The Boy from Oz,"
"X-Men"), VIVA LAUGHLIN is a mystery drama with music about eternal
optimist and freewheeling businessman Ripley Holden, whose sole ambition is to
run a casino in Laughlin, Nev. Occasionally using upbeat contemporary songs to
accentuate the drama and humor and advance the story, the series is based on the
hit BBC show "Viva Blackpool." Ripley (Lloyd Owen, "The Young Indiana
Jones Chronicles") is the ultimate gambler with an infectious personality
who is on the brink of making a killing
just as soon as he opens his casino
that's nowhere near completion. When his financing suddenly falls through, the
fearless and tenacious Ripley approaches his enemy - dashing, sarcastic, wealthy
casino owner Nicky Fontana (Hugh Jackman) for help. Though the odds are stacked
against him, Ripley doesn't miss a beat, even when he becomes embroiled in a murder
investigation after the body of his ex-business partner is found at his club.
At home, Ripley uses his dry wit to adjust to the demands of his family: his gorgeous
wife, Natalie (Madchen Amick, "ER"), wants more attention; his teenage
daughter, Cheyenne (Ellen Woglom, "The O.C."), wants his approval; and
his son, Jack (Carter Jenkins, "Surface"), wants to help him at work.
All of this adversity would defeat a lesser man, but for the outgoing and passionate
Ripley there's no such thing as bad news, only deals to be struck and wagers to
be won in the intoxicating neon glow of Laughlin, where the cards are on the table,
romance is in the air and lively music is on the stage. Eric Winter ("Wildfire")
and D.B. Woodside ("24?) also star.
Directed by Gabriele Muccino
("The Pursuit of Happyness"). Golden Globe Award nominee Hugh Jackman,
John Palermo ("X-Men: The Last Stand"), Bob Lowry ("Huff"),
Paul Telegdy and Peter Bowker ("Viva Blackpool") are executive producers
for BBC Worldwide Productions, Seed Productions, CBS Paramount Network Television
in association with Sony Pictures Television.
