'Friday Night Lights' team tackles NBC Western
NBC and Universal Media Studios are reassembling a team from "Friday Night Lights" to tackle another genre: the Western."Lights" executive producers Peter Berg and Sarah Aubrey are saddling up with Liz Heldens, a co-executive producer on the recently retired football series, who will write the script for what is being described as a Western from a female point of view. NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt is said to be keen on trying to revive the genre if the right project comes together. Though no one has put a Western in primetime since HBO's "Deadwood," AMC is set to give it a shot next with its upcoming drama "Hell on Wheels." NBC tried last year with Peter Horton-produced pilot "Reconstruction," but it didn't make air.Berg is already back on NBC this fall as EP of "Prime Suspect." In addition, he will oversee upcoming HBO series "On Freddie Roach."Heldens moved on from "Lights" to other NBC series that didn't last as long, including executive producer duties on "Mercy," which she created, and co-executive producer on "Love Bites." She signed a two-year overall deal with UMS in 2009. Before that she was under an overall deal at 20th Century Fox TV, where she worked on the WB series "Pepper Dennis" and Fox's "North Shore."

Bouchareb slates trio of English-lingo pics
French-Algerian filmmaker Rachid Bouchareb has lined up a trio of English-language films with Arabic sensibilities, including pics toplined by Forest Whitaker and Sienna Miller. Bouchareb, whose "Outside the Law" was nominated for the foreign-language Oscar last year, will produce the three films with partner Jean Brehat through their American company Taghit, which was formed in 1999. First pic will be the American production "Just Like a Woman," which will star Miller and Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani ("Body of Lies") as two women from different backgrounds who embark on a journey of self-discovery after escaping from broken marriages. Miller's character pursues a passion for belly-dancing after catching her husband cheating, while Farahani plays an Arab immigrant to Chicago who works at a supermarket and is berated by her mother-in-law for not having produced any children. Charles Cohen ("Frozen River") is also producing "Woman." The second film will be "Belleville's Cop," which Bouchareb co-wrote with Larry Gross ("48 Hrs."). Pic, which will begin filming in late summer 2012, is a fish-out-of-water comedy about a French-Arabic cop sent to work alongside a LAPD policewoman. Whitaker is attached to star in the untitled third pic, which is set in Arizona along the Mexican border. Whitaker will play a Muslim parolee released from prison after a 10-year stint who takes up residence in a small city full of paranoia about outsiders.

'Office' Writer-Producer Justin Spitzer Signs Overall Deal With UMS
EXCLUSIVE: The Office writer-producer Justin Spitzer has signed a two-year overall deal with the studio behind the NBC comedy, Universal Media Studios. Under the seven-figure deal, Spitzer's first, he will continue on The Office while also developing new series projects. Spitzer's only previous stab at development was selling a comedy spec to ABC six years ago. Spitzer's career path so far has been determined by two spec scripts. A Scrubs spec he wrote got to the show's creator/executive producer Bill Lawrence eight years ago and became his first produced script. Then the spec he sold to ABC got in the hands of The Office executive producer Greg Daniels who, based on it, hired Spitzer on The Office at the beginning of Season 3. Spitzer has gone through the ranks and is being upped to a co-executive producer for next season. On the development side, Spitzer, repped by ICM and attorney Jared Levine, is working on a comedy project with UMS-based producer Peter Traugott who, six years ago, produced Spitzer's ABC spec through Brillstein Entertainment.
