According to E!’s Watch with Kristin, Life has received orders for 3 additional scripts but notes it has yet to “receive the full “back nine” order that would make a full season.” Thanks to Life Media!
Other Life notes: Episode 2 (Tear Asunder) will rebroadcast on NBC this Saturday, Oct. 13 starting at 08:00 pm Eastern; NBC.com has updated their site with detailed episode recaps.
More Life related press: The Post Online enjoys the “great chemistry among the cast”; the Detroit Free Press likes Damian’s “wack charisma”; North County Times also has a review of the show.
Life related communities are sprouting up everywhere! If you’ve haven’t been by, check out these livejournal communities: lifetv and life_icons. saiyajenn and zed_pm have recently posted really gorgeous Damian and Life related icons here and here; Life Forums is another new community.
We’re having some technical problems with the gallery, so we haven’t been able to post Life screencaps just yet. But as mentioned already, you can get them at Life Media; dj at dj_capslock also offers a set for download in zip form typically the day following a broadcast.
The blog Phoenix Cinema has a positive review of Damian’s 2005 BBC film Friends and Crocodiles. The film’s available in the US, if you’ve yet to see it, move it towards the top of your list!

The Baker directed by Gareth Lewis and starring Damian Lewis will be released on DVD (Region 2) on October 16th in Hungary! Xpress.hu and NetPiac both appear to offer the DVD. One problem: Both of these sites are in Hungarian and none of us here read Hungarian! Is it being offered for sale or just rent? It looks like it’ll be available in English. Is there anyone out there who can read Hungarian and help us out? Contact us here.
Spoilers! NBC has posted a synopsis of Powerless (episode 6 of Life) which should air on October 31st. Spoilerfix.com also has a synopsis of A Civil War (episode 7).

Ann reported that a recent episode of The 411 show on the TV Guide Channel featured interviews with Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi on the red carpet at the September 26th party for the US premiere of Life! Damian talked about his role as Detective Charlie Crews and then spoke about living in California saying:

“It’s changed my life entirely. I’m here with my young family - my wife and my baby girl. I can walk to the beach in five minutes in the middle of winter and surf, and I get on my bicycle, and I go to the farmers market. I’m a citizen of the world.”

Ryan has posted 280 screen shots from Tear Assunder (episode 2 of Life) on his Life Media site.
The song played during the pool scene in Tear Assunder is John 2:14 by Shivaree and the song at the end of the program was Hunted By a Freak by Mogwai.

Thanks to Chloegirldie for this link to the song at the end of the extended trailer for Life; but we still don’t know the name of the song or the artist – anybody have any ideas?
