‘Lost’ Alum Dominic Monaghan Lands Travel Series on BBC America
The network announces production of “Wild Things,” which sends the British actor around the globe in search of big and bizarre insects.
Dominic Monaghan is getting lost again. BBC America, OLN and Channel 5 announced Tuesday that the Lost and Lord of the Rings actor will star in a new travel-adventure series, already in production.
Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan will find the British actor globetrotting in search of “the biggest, scariest and weirdest insects on the planet.”
In a statement from BBC America, Monaghan explained that this isn’t a new interest for him. “I have been obsessed and interested in nature all my life,” he said. “This show brings together years of excited preparation by finally creating a series that demonstrates my love for travel, animals, adventure and people.”
The latest original in a new slate from the anglophile cable net, Wild Things was co-commissioned by Canada’s OLN and the UK’s Channel 5. It’s being produced by Cream Productions and Wildfire Television and distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
“Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan introduces our audience to creatures typically only seen in fantasy or science fiction,” said Perry Simon, BBC Worldwide America GM, channels. “We are among the many fans of Dominic’s work, and it is his genuine love and knowledge of these creatures and the production team’s global ambition that inspired us to make this series an important part of our slate of new originals.”
The series will premiere on BBC America later in 2012. Monaghan is repped by APA.
Dom is actually eating beetle grubs that had been roasted in a leaf there. Yummy…
A professor from Drexel University who has gone to Ecuador with Dom to shoot his nature show with him there has uploaded a couple of pictures and there’s an article about the kind of things they saw in Ecuador. I am only going to post the bits about Dom, but the whole article is really interesting. Go and read it here: http://www.drexel.edu/coas/news/archive/sean-of-the-jungle/

Dom has officially been invited to become a new member of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released its annual list of invited new members, and it’s clear they’re continuing to try to make their membership younger. On the list alongside veterans like John Hawkes and David Duchovny are a slew of twentysomethings, including Mia Wasikowska, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lawrence, and Rooney Mara. (For those of you who have asked in the comments about how invitees are selected: AMPAS’ membership committee looks at performers’ and filmmakers’ bodies of work in determining whether or not they are worthy of membership; it’s not automatically bestowed on each year’s nominees.)
