The Washington Post: "Kiefer Sutherland to Star in Web Series 'The Confession'"
Summary
"Now that people are spending more time with their computers than they are with their televisions, as long as theres fantastic storytelling, theres room to really push the envelope in terms of the length of programming." After Sutherland thought up the basic idea for the series (hit man plus confessions plus priest), he helped recruit a pal, screenwriter Brad Mirman, to write and direct. Mirman, who has known Sutherland since they worked together on a movie in the 90s, was mum on many details, describing the show only as a drama with action that explores "the definition of right or wrong, and the gray area in between." Filmed over about 10 days in December during a snowstorm in New York, the series stars Hurt as the priest, with Max Casella ("The Sopranos") and Michael Badalucco ("The Practice") among the co-stars. The producers hope for a big reception for a network-type show available only on computer screens, though theyre aware of the challenges of promoting such a series - it could be difficult to attract those who are uncomfortable using the Web to watch TV.
