Today's TWoP News: December 1, 2010

"It's a trick -- get an Axe!"

That Army of Darkness quote should be the tagline for USA's planned TV-movie focusing on Burn Notice's Sam Axe, played by Bruce Campbell. The now green-lit movie will follow his last mission as a Navy SEAL, and will be directed by his co-star Jeffrey Donovan in between seasons of the show. Here's hoping Donovan records a bunch of Michael Westen-style filmmaking tips for the DVD release.

Bristol Palin was such a boon for Dancing With the Stars that the show reportedly wants her father Todd, as well as John McCain's daughter and former New York governor Elliot Spitzer himself. You stay classy, DWTS.

In the latest "classic TV shows being made as movies" news, Channing Tatum will play the Johnny Depp character in 21 Jump Street, opposite Jonah Hill. Hey, whatever keeps him from making another G.I. Joe movie.

Valerie Harper is coming to Desperate Housewives, where she'll play the mother of Teri Hatcher's Susan Delfino. Hopefully, she doesn't follow her daughter's lead and enter the Internet porn business.

ABC has a few different series in development, including two musical series (one of which will star Broadway actress and Glee guest Idina Menzel as a single mom) and a comedy about a family-run food truck.

Apparently, Joss Whedon was offered a spot on the Buffy movie reboot, and he passed. So the question is no longer "Why didn't they ask Joss?" but rather, "Why does Joss hate you, specifically?"

We knew he was one of the smarter characters on Ugly Betty, but now Michael Urie has joined that genius-crimefighter show on TBS we told you about yesterday with D.B. Sweeney. He plays a professor!

And finally, the writers of The Walking Dead have been given their walking papers. We're not that broken up about it.
