Harold Perrineau will have a co-starring role in the upcoming CBS/Barbara Hall pilot, "Demons." On the show about Gus, an ex-Jesuit priest-psychologist who does exorcisms, Perrineau plays a priest who has known Gus since seminary and is his confessor, confidante and good friend. This may mean that talk that Perrineau (best known for his role on "Lost" as single father Michael Dawson) and the ABC series could not reach an agreement for the character's return is true.
Amazon Movies on TiVo
Right after Wal-Mart announced it was going back online to try to sell videos by making them available for download, Amazon said that it is testing a movie downloading service of its own that won't even require a computer, but rather require a TiVo digital recorder. That would allow the downloaded movies to be played immediately on a TV set.

A "Spider-Man 3" featurette is online containing new footage and comments from Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace and director Sam Raimi. You can see it here.

The Criterion Collection
The Criterion Collection, known for its elaborate packages, will try an entry-level line of boxed sets in March 27. The Eclipse line will feature "lost, forgotten or overshadowed films, in simple, affordable editions." Each set to contain three to five films, with no bonus features, made from the best available masters, but not the full Criterion restoration. Retail pricing, on average, will be less than $15 a disc. Regular Criterion Collection DVDs start at about $30. Peter Becker, Criterion Collection president, said: "The goal is to make these films available, to make sure that Criterion's own work style doesn't contribute to the continuing unavailability of these films. Once our producers and restoration crew get started on a Criterion edition, the project takes on a life of its own. Months later, with a little luck, we'll have something really special to show for it, but at that rate we can't make a dent in the number of important unreleased films that we'd like people to be able to see."
