Can Minnie Driver hold her own against comedian Eddie Izzard? Eddie thinks so, which is why he and other producers
cast Minnie Driver to co-star in a new series with him for F/X. Izzard and Driver will play Wayne and Dahlia, a
husband-and-wife team of con artists who travel with a band of Irish gypsies. The series starts as Dahlia is getting
out of jail. She and Wayne decide to live the straight life and settle down in the suburbs with their three kids. While
I'm really excited that Eddie Izzard is coming to American television, I worry about the fact that this show is being
called a "Drama". Eddie is hi-larious and the premise sounds funny, so maybe it's a Desperate
Housewives-style show, which is part drama, part comedy (although, it won Best Comedy at the Golden
Globes earlier this month). The new series is called Lowlife. Production on the pilot begins in March in
New Orleans.[Via The Hollywood Reporter]

Personally I could watch Minnie Driver watching paint dry so I'll definitely watch this. I'd prefer another film with John Cusack al?rosse Point Blank but you take what you can get.
