To all of you who watched, supported, and shared your enthusiasm for the show with us... THANK YOU. Huge thanks. It means a... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-12-and.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-12-and.php Mon, 29 Jun 2009 09:40:16 -0500 One of the highlights of a very action packed Episode 11 was the emotional Cal/Chloe death scene. The location, the stunt, the editing, the music, (Civil Twilight's "Letters From The Sky") the performances, and the writing....all extraordinary. The episode... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-11.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-11.php Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:14:08 -0500 The production board for Episode 10 read like a schedule for a feature film. The only difference was that we had to accomplish the following in seven days, not seven weeks. In no particular order: kill two deputies, find a... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-10.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-10.php Mon, 15 Jun 2009 09:46:54 -0500 It's the start of Episode 9, and this crew is exhausted. I don't blame them. We've been working crazy hours, dealing with bad weather, and to make matters worst, in order to meet our budgetary requirements, we've started shooting... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-9.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-9.php Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:38:23 -0500 Episode 8 was one our toughest yet. This was the episode in which the Vancouver weather started turning ugly on us. The local crew warned me that around mid to late October things would start getting dark, cold, and wet.... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-8.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-8.php Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:05:17 -0500 Here's the thing about flashback episodes. They're awesome to write, but horrible to produce. So you can imagine the look on the faces of our department heads when they read the first few pages of Episode 7. Pure terror.... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-7.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-7.php Sun, 24 May 2009 12:00:56 -0500 What do you want first, the good news or the bad news? Bad news. CBS recently held their Network Upfront Presentation in New York, and announced that Harper's Island would not be picked up for a second season. This... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-6.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-6.php Mon, 11 May 2009 11:44:30 -0500 As promised in last week's blog, Episode 5 was going to be big. The characters have witnessed their first murder, the body of one our victims, Reverend Fain, was discovered, and the possibility of Wakefield still being alive is... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-5.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-5.php Mon, 04 May 2009 11:01:22 -0500 I know what you're thinking. Being an assassin has to be the greatest job ever. Sit on set all day (in a chair with your name on it), eat anything and everything from the craft service table (that's always... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-4.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-4.php Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:11:27 -0500 Two days ago I was walking into Modern Video in Burbank to do some last minute fixes on Episodes 12 & 13. The friendly female receptionist at the front desk stopped me, and we proceeded to have the following... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-3.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-3.php Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:58:31 -0500 Episode 2 is in the books. Heads are going to start rolling. Sorry. Couldn't resist. Three characters met their fate in this episode written by our showrunner, Jeff Bell, and directed by our good friend, Sandy Bookstaver. This was... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-2.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-2.php Fri, 10 Apr 2009 10:21:36 -0500 And we're off. Two killings down... dozens more to go. That sounds like something an assassin would say. Poor Cousin Ben. Our first victim. The poor guy never stood a chance. When we first pitched this concept to CBS,... http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/blogs/guest/notes-of-an-assassin/harpers-island-episode-1.php Wed, 08 Apr 2009 18:26:27 -0500 My name is Karim Zreik, co-executive producer of the TV series Harper's Island, premiering Thursday, April 9, at 10 PM ET/PT on CBS.
