I can't believe I didn't post anything about this series - it's probably because we had 2 entire Masters of Horror threads and I probably spilled my guts on there.
After reading that news thing, there are still 4 episodes left unaccounted for.
Here's what COMINGSOON . com said back in March:
NBC has announced the directors, writers and stars of its upcoming new suspense and horror anthology series "Fear Itself" from Lionsgate and Industry Entertainment:
A host of provocative directors, actors and writers - including award-winning directors John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London"), Darren Bousman ("Saw II, III and IV"), Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason," "Bride of Chucky"), Brad Anderson ("The Machinist"), Breck Eisner (upcoming Universal Pictures film "Creature from the Black Lagoon"), Mary Harron ("American Psycho"), Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator") and Ernest Dickerson (NBC's "Heroes") - have been signed for NBC's "Fear Itself," a new 13-episode suspense and horror anthology series from Lionsgate in association with Industry Entertainment.
Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns"), Shiri Appleby ("Charlie Wilson's War"), Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men"), Cynthia Watros ("Lost"), Eric Roberts (NBC's "Heroes"), John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise"), Russell Hornsby ("Lincoln Heights"), Pablo Schreiber ("The Wire"), Stephen Lee ("Boston Legal"), Stephen R. Hart ("Shoot 'Em Up"), Jack Noseworthy ("Judging Amy") and Larry Gilliard Jr. ("The Wire") are among the sought-after actors who will be portraying various characters in three episodes of the series.
Among the writers set are Joe Gangemi ("Wind Chill," the novel "Inamorata"), Steve Niles ("30 Days of Night"), Dan Knauf ("Carnivale," "Supernatural"), Lem Dobbs ("The Score"), Matt Venne ("White Noise 2: The Light"), Richard Chizmar & Johnathan Schaech ("Masters of Horror," "From a Buick 8"), Victor Salva ("Jeepers Creepers"), Mick Garris ("Riding the Bullet," "Amazing Stories"), Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan ("Masters of Horror"), Kelly Kennemer ("The Music Within") and Max Landis ("Masters of Horror").
The announcement was made today by Teri Weinberg, Executive Vice President, NBC Entertainment. "We've teamed up with some of the most illustrious writers, actors and directors to create a distinctive, scare-filled series that will push the boundaries of this classic genre," said Weinberg. "'Fear Itself' will deliver memorable and horrifying moments that will keep fans on the edge of their seats, begging for more on this fun-filled ride of terror."
"We and our partners at Industry Entertainment couldn't be happier about NBC's enthusiastic support of 'Fear Itself' and the caliber of artists who have been drawn to the project," said Kevin Beggs, Lionsgate's President of Television Programming and Production. "Our goal is to offer audiences a fantastic thrill every week and we've certainly got the all-star team to do it."
"Eater," is directed by Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator," "Masters of Horror") and written by Cemetery Dance Magazine publisher and editor Richard Chizmar ("From a Buick 8") & actor Johnathon Schaech ("Masters of Horror," "That Thing You Do!"). A rookie cop (Moss) must spend her first night in the precinct watching over a serial killer, coined "The Eater" (Stephen R. Hart, "Shoot 'Em Up"). When her fellow cops start acting bizarre, she quickly learns that no one is who they seem. Russell Hornsby ("Lincoln Heights"), Pablo Schreiber ("The Wire") and Stephen Lee ("Boston Legal") also star.
"Spooked," is directed by Brad Anderson ("The Machinist") and written by Matt Venne ("White Noise 2: The Light"). While on a stake out in a haunted house, a private eye (Roberts) is made to confront the demons of his past. Jack Noseworthy ("Judging Amy"), Cynthia Watros ("Lost") and Larry Gilliard Jr. ("The Wire") also star.
"Community" is directed by Mary Harron ("American Psycho," "The Notorious Betty Page," "Big Love") and written by Kelly Kennemer ("The Music Within"). When a young married couple, played by Routh and Appleby, find the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood, their lives seem...well...perfect. But as the dark underbelly of their neighborhood creeps to the surface, they soon realize that their neighbors will go to any extreme -- even murder -- to make sure that they comply with their twisted sense of conformity. John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise") also stars.
"Red Snow" has a screenplay written by Mick Garris ("Riding the Bullet," "Amazing Stories"), from a story by Del Howison ("Dark Delicacies"). Breck Eisner ("Creature from the Black Lagoon") will direct. When four criminals find themselves stranded in an old, snow-covered fort, they slowly discover both the fort and the seductive trio of sirens who reside there are filled with deadly secrets.
"Chance" is written by Lem Dobbs ("The Score"), with a director to be announced later. In the vein of such classic doppelganger stories as "Jekyll & Hyde" and Poe's "William Wilson," the episode explores a dreadful, classic battle that ensues when a man is confronted by his evil self.
"New Year's Day" will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman ("Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV"), and is written by Steve Niles ("30 Days of Night") from a story by Paul Kane. A young woman wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by horrifying zombies.
"Family Man" will be directed by Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason," "Bride of Chucky") and is written by Dan Knauf ("Carnivale," "Supernatural"). This action-charged, psychological thriller focuses on a likeable family man who switches bodies with a serial killer after a near-death experience. Now, he must fight from behind bars to keep the murderer from adding his family to the long list of victims.
"Skin & Bones" is written by Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan ("Masters of Horror") with a director to be announced later. When a cattle herder returns home to his family after being lost in the woods for days, he just doesn't seem the same. Soon, a terrible mortal struggle ensues against the terrifying monster possessing him.
"Something with Bite" is a reinvention of the classic werewolf story from writer Max Landis ("Masters of Horror"), the son of John Landis. Ernest R. Dickerson (NBC's "Heroes") will direct.
In "Nightmare in Lace," John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London") will direct an episode written by Victor Salva ("Jeepers Creepers"). On her wedding day, a beautiful bride receives a mysterious note that reads: "The person you are marrying is a serial killer."
The series is produced by Lionsgate in association with IE Indy TV, Industry Entertainment's newly formed independent television label, and was created by Mick Garris. The Emmy-winning team of Keith Addis and Andrew Deane ("Masters of Horror") are the executive producers. Peter Block is co-executive producer; Grant Rosenberg is supervising producer; and Adam Goldworm, Ben Browning and Jonathan Hackett are producers.

Well, I don't know if I've said what I think about this trailer here yet or not- but I think this new show looks boring, hastily executed, and poorly produced. The style sucks. But I'll admit that the trailer has shitty editing. Hopefully the episodes will be better put together and more interesting. One thing that really bothers me is the casts. I don't watch most Network TV and they basically forced these people to hire everyone who was in Heroes, Numbers, CSI, or a few new movies.
But, it comes on June 5th... I'll try to withhold my final judgment until then. I will watch every episode - since it's free.

again you are looking into it to much and trying to act like some hotshot judge.. if you are gonna complain about dumb shit all the time then why not go out and produce, direct and star in your own movie.. since of course you are so perfect and know everything....untill then sit back, shut up and be entertained.. thats what the episodes are meant to do

again you are looking into it to much "Looking too much into it" Um... Style is on the surface. As is production value. So, what you mean to say is: "you're looking at it too much." And I'm a horror fan. A horror fan who is being subjected to the worst decade for the genre since the 1950's. That's impressive - that this decade with so many movies can be as poor as a decade with probably only 60 or so movies having even been made. If you can't see that - you're not looking "into it" enough. trying to act like some hotshot judge.. I'm no hotshot. I realize that. But you would not have connected me with the phrase if you didn't think I was on to something. You're just in denial. Give it time. Your intelligence will someday catch up to your mouth / hands. if you are gonna complain about dumb shit all the time then why not go out and produce, direct and star in your own movie.. Oh - of course. You know how easy that is. So tell me, before I go on such a high-risk venture... How easy is it? since of course you are so perfect and know everything... Have you been counting how many times I need to say this to you, you might be surprised: I never said I was perfect. I never said I know everything. Are you hearing this? It's getting annoying for me to have to tell you this again and again. If you even have a brain in your head, you should actually be understanding this. So, I'm going to assume this is the last time I'll have to tell you. Because, that's me assuming you actually do have a brain. I don't know if you do or don't. Because I don't know everything. But... I want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Just stop making me regret that. until then sit back, shut up and be entertained.. thats what the episodes are meant to do Don't tell me what to do. Plus, we've already established that you don't know what entertaining is for anyone other than yourself. Why don't you graduate to the next part of this discussion? So that we don't have to keep repeating ourselves.

Wikipedia finally has the 13th Episode information. Well... some of it. The title is "The Circle," and the director is... Johnathon Schaech. The actor from The Forsaken, Hush, Living Hell, Prom Night, Sea of Darkness, Quarantine, The Doom Generation, and Masters of Horror: The Washingtonians. That information might be wrong because his name is listed next to another Writer's name (a writer with no Directing experience), so it might be another "Director to be named later" thing. But, Schaech does have 2 directing credits in his Bio.
