Britt Robertson in Under the Dome

With all my excitement over Austin Butler in The Carrie Diaries, I am more excited that Britt Robertson (Fellow Life Unexpected castmate, and Secret Circle cast mate) will be in Under the Dome.

Deadline reports:

Britt Robertson has been cast in a drama series for the CW sister network CBS. Robertson has joined Under The Dome, CBS’ 13-episode summer series from Steven Spielberg and Stephen King. Based on King’s bestselling novel, Under The Dome is set in Chester’s Mill, a small New England town suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The town’s inhabitants must deal with surviving the post-apocalyptic conditions while searching for answers to what this barrier is, where it came from and if and when it will go away. Robertson will play Angie, an attractive young waitress and aspiring nurse who’s always dreamed of escaping the town of Chester’s Mill.

It seems the CW loves her (LUX, Secret Circle) so surely she will continue with a great career, I just hope the shows last longer... I was so upset over the cancellation of both LUX and TSC (both Vancouver productions too by the way!)

Has anyone read Stephen King's novel that this show is based on?

The Carrie Diaries Confession....

So, I have to admit it, I have been forced into confession because of the new show "The Carrie Diaries"....

I have never, ever, not even once, seen a single episode of Sex in the City... oops, I have been corrected, it is "Sex & the City" see - epic fail!

I have always been a "watch from the start" kind of gal and when it hit my radar it was already in it's 3rd or so season and I didn't have PVR (did it even exist in late 90s?) and so I just never watched it.... fast forward to about 2008 when the Sex and the City movie comes out... all my friends are having parties and I was all "meh"

Now, The Carrie Diaries comes out, and I have a bit of interest but decide not to bother... I have too many shows to watch currently, I didn't watch Sex & the City, who cares right?

WRONG!

I gave in... it was the amazing 80s fashion and music that I couldn't resist... I had to watch... just once.... but I loved it!

SERIOUSLY loved it!!!

So, now I am obsessed! I don't care that I don't know Sex & the City, nor that some references may come up that I don't clue into without having seen Sex & the City.... I still love it!

It is timely too, Gossip Girl is gone and I need my fashion, drama from New York City... even if it is (ok ESPECIALLY if it is) in the 80s... best decade ever!!!

I love AnnaSophia Robb from Bridge to Terabithia and Austin Butler is adorable... reminds me a bit of Chord Overstreet... he looked so familiar to me but I couldn't place him. I IMDB'd him and then remembered.... JONES from Life Unexpected!!!

Life Unexpected was filmed here in Vancouver, I wish I'd spent more time by sets... I bumped into a lot of the cast in town, but never him... sadly ;)

Anyways, I confess, I love The Carrie Diaries, but I need you Sex & the City fans to let me know if stuff comes up that I would miss having not seen Sex & the City ok?
