Hot off her stint as merry murderess Roxie Hart in the Broadway revival of Chicago, Melanie Griffith goes on another crime spree with an original movie for CBS. CBS has given the green light to the project, tentatively titled Heartless, which will co-star Esai Morales. Inspired by true events, Heartless stars Griffith as a fictional attorney who used, stalked, manipulated and even killed men who have either gotten in her way or tried to leave her. Morales will play an ambitious newspaper reporter who goes undercover to get the story on the attorney by working as her assistant. Helmer Robert Markowitz (CBS' The Pilot's Wife) is on board to direct the film from a script by Adam Greenman (ABC's Final Jeopardy).
A repeat of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition led ABC to its third straight Sunday night win in the adults 18-49 demographic. CBS did respectable business in viewers with its repeat of telefilm The Pilot's Wife but otherwise it was another lackluster Sunday all around for the Big Four networks. ABC's 9 p.m. encore of Makeover, which averaged 8.9 million viewers and 3.6 rating/10 share in adults 18-49, delivered the night's highest score in adults 18-49, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. CBS' 7 p.m. newsmagazine 60 Minutes (10.7 million, 1.9/7) was the night's most-watched program. A rerun of the eye network's 9-11 p.m. telefilm Pilot's Wife averaged a healthy (by summer rerun standards) 10.3 million viewers and 2.4/7 in 18-49.
