How Will Desperate Housewives End? Marc Cherry Teases a Special Cameo

Desperate Housewives What will the final chapter of Desperate Housewives look like? Don't bother asking series creator Marc Cherry. "I'm so not revealing what the end is going to be," the creator and executive producer told reporters Tuesday at ABC's winter TV previews. "I have it in my head and I'm hyper-protective of it." The Housewives boss is confident he's ending the series at the right time, acknowledging that in recent years it became more difficult for writers to find new creative territory to mine. But he also divulged that he's had the series' last act mapped out for more than seven years, and he did confirm that he will "pull a Hitchcock" and make a cameo in the last episode. The revelation was met with applause and loud "yays" from the cast. "The hair and makeup people will go through hell that day," Cherry joked. Watch full episodes of Desperate Housewives On a more serious note, Cherry and Daily said the final episodes will continue to pay homage to the show's first season. Cherry revealed it was ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee who suggested that the series resurrect the "I Know What You Did" note from Season 1. "We handed in the first episode and Paul Lee called and said, 'I think you need something that's a little bit more of an echo,'" Cherry recalled. So the writers kicked off Season 8 by re-watching the pilot. "We're really trying to view this season as a bookend to that iconic first season and first episode," executive producer Bob Daily said. At the same time, producers have no intention of resolving every lingering storyline, i.e. fans hoping to finally find out what state Fairview is located in will be out of luck. "We don't necessarily want to tie up every loose end in the finale," Daily said, hinting that the writers hope to imply that life will go on in Fairview after the cameras stop rolling. Mega Buzz: Desperate Housewives' health scare? "People keep asking me if [the ending] is bittersweet. I say, 'No, it's sweet,'" Cherry said. "We're just thankful for the ride that we have because not many people get to experience what we collectively got to experience." Cherry may have been tight-lipped about the surprises in store, but he did shoot down the possibility of a TV reunion or movie. "After eight years, boy, I think we're done. And I'm happy about it. It's not a bad thing. I feel very satisfied with where we are," Cherry said, taking a dig at the critical flop that was Sex and the City 2. "I'm just never sending these gals to Dubai, that's all I'm saying." Desperate Housewives airs Sundays at 9/8c on ABC.

New Safe House Poster Online

Plus words from producer Scott StuberUniversal's Cape Town-set thriller Safe House is almost upon us, and following the recent trailer, here's a new poster. It's two for the price of one!In the black-and-white corner, a smart-but-casual Ryan Reynolds looks wary and concentrates on not dropping his gun. And in the other black-and-white corner, Denzel Washington stares malevolently at us in close-up.There's a bit of He Got Game about the Washington side, minus the big afro. And there's more than a bit of the Bournes about the Reynolds section, which is actually Universal taking the bull by the horns, since they're resigned to comparisons."Inevitably we'll be compared to Bourne on some levels," producer Scott Stuber told Empire when we visited the set, "but Safe House is a very different film. Bourne is pre-programmed to fire a gun and fight at a level Ryan's character simply isn't. He's got some training, but not enough for what he's up against."What he's up against is the forces aligned against out-of-control CIA man Washington, who's been brought to Reynolds' quiet back-woods safe house for processing. "Tobin Frost, Denzel's character, is like a myth, like this Carlos The Jackal character," explains Stuber. "He's a black ops guy who went rogue and they've not been able to catch him, but out of nowhere he ends up in Cape Town. We needed a place where, when things start to go bad, the audience wouldn't be asking why there weren't a hundred CIA agents there, which there would be in London or Paris. Cape Town worked perfectly for us." Bourne aside, Stuber says the reference points for Safe House have been films like Gomorrah, and director Daniel Espinosa's previous Snabba Cash, "and we talked a lot about 70s movies like Sidney Lumet's, and the car stuff in Ronin and French Connection, just from an inspirational standpoint. But obviously you try to make every movie your own, soyou see things here that you haven't seen before, so that's been kind of exciting! Ryan and Denzel have really stepped up to one another: it's like watching Federer and Nadal going at it!"They had us at "Federer and Nadal". Safe House is out in the UK on February 24.
