La La Land: Alfred Molina has joined Skeet Ulrich in NBC’s Law & Order spinoff, Law & Order: Los Angeles. Molina will play Deputy D.A.

WB Takes A Dare: Warner Bros. is close to making a deal on Dan Dare, a British film with Sam Worthington attached to star.

Worthington clearly has a thing for space-based franchises. [Variety]
