New Additions to NATPE Schedule

LOS ANGELES: NATPE, which takes place in Las Vegas next week, has made several additions to its lineup, including providing a sneak peek at Joss Whedon’s new FOX series Dollhouse. 

Whedon’s first TV series since the cancelled Firefly is set to premiere on FOX on February 13. NATPE attendees can get an advance look at the 20th Century Fox TV production at a "beer and popcorn" screening on Monday, the opening day of the market. Also on Monday, The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is producing a panel on monetizing multiplatform distribution opportunities globally.

NATPE has also announced the lineup of participating chefs at the LG Celebrity Chef Kitchen on the convention floor; they include Charlie Palmer from Aureole; Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger from the Border Grill; and Kerry Simon from Simon at Palms Place, among others. Evan Kleiman, the host of Good Food on L.A.’s flagship NPR station KCRW, will interview the chefs following their demonstrations and will also take questions from the audience.
