More on Mel Gibson's Iraq War miniseries

From the Washington Times: Mel, USA ink pact USA Network is teaming up with Mel Gibson to develop an Iraq war miniseries, Reuters news agency reports. "Peace Out," from Mr. Gibson's Icon Prods. banner, will tell a fact-based story of two young American men who head out for adventure in Iraq after the fall of Baghdad. News of the six-hour series came from USA's "upfront" presentations -- where networks pitch their upcoming shows to advertisers. The network's program plans also include a limited series based on Gigi Levangie Grazer's best-selling novel "The Starter Wife," about a new divorcee redefining herself in Hollywood after years of marriage to a studio mogul. Mrs. Grazer recently announced her split from moviemaker husband Brian Grazer after a nine-year marriage. USA's other new projects include "Stuck in Paradise," about a tennis pro who begins work at a tropical resort and finds that he can't leave because of a contract issue, and "Burn Notice," about a spy who gets fired and then goes into business for himself while he finds out who set him up. The network also intends to offer telenovelas -- a type of TV serial that's popular in Spain and Portugal and is catching on in America -- with two late-night series that will air three nights a week for a 13-week run: "The Hamptons," about the famed Long Island towns, and "Secrets of the Spa," about a desert spa resort.
