David Fincher's HBO Comedy Project LIVING ON VIDEO Finds New Lead

Deadline writes that David Fincher's mysterious new comedy on HBO, titled LIVING ON VIDEO, will now star RED BAND SOCIETY's Charlie Rowe. THE KILLING's Tyler Ross was originally slated to lead the project.

The comedy is "Set in 1983 Los Angeles, and in the vein of HBO's Entourage, Living On Video revolves around the players of the then-exploding music video industry - directors, record executives and crew members, many of them dabbling in drugs - through the eyes of a newcomer, Robby (Ross). Robby is a wide-eyed guy who drops out of college and drives to Hollywood with dreams of directing a sci-fi epic and lands a job as a PA for a company making music videos.

MAD MEN's Sam Page will play a meteorologist trying to transition into game-show hosting. He is reuniting with Fincher after recurring on the past season of House Of Cards. Also in the cast are Jason Flemyng, Kerry Condon and Elizabeth Lail.

Instead of a traditional pilot, LIVING ON VIDEO will film two episodes.

Rowe, who plays 'Leo Roth' in the TV series RED BAND SOCIETY, has appeared on the big screen in NEVER LET ME GO, PIRATE RADIO and THE GOLDEN COMPASS. He also recently appeared in THE WINSLOW BOY in the West End.
