If you are still not fed up with alien invasion projects, you might like FALLING SKIES, the new sf television series produced by Steven Spielberg which will premiere on TNT in June 2011. You can check out the first teaser trailer bellow.
This exciting new show from DreamWorks Television stars Noah Wyle (ER, THE LIBRARIAN) who portrays a former college professor who becomes the leader of a group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force. Moon Bloodgood (TERMINATOR SALVATION, PATHFINDER) co-stars
as Anne Glass, a therapist who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic situation. The series also stars Drew Roy (LINCOLN HEIGHTS) as Hal and Maxim Knight (BROTHERS AND SISTERS) as Matt, Tom's two sons, Seychelle Gabriel (WEEDS) as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps run the group's commissary. Will Patton (ARMAGEDDON, INTO THE WEST) will play a recurring role as a fierce resistance fighter.
Nope, I'm not fed up with alien invasion stories yet. I'll be one of the ones checking it out.

I'm a bit fed up the whole alien invasion bit, but I doubt my aggravation will keep me from watching this. Damn my inner geek. It also forces me to watch all those corny remakes against my better judgement.
ReplyDeletecool. Hasn't Spielberg done TV before? I'm trying to remember... still, SF. Interesting to see how it does~ :o) <3
ReplyDeleteWar of the Worlds meets Skyline meets Aliens meets V... That's quite a mashup.
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting except for Noah Wylie. He's a great side kick and ensemble player, but he's just not strong enough to carry a show or film. He may surprise me, but based on this trailer...I don't see it happening.
ReplyDeleteWith that beard, Noah Wylie looks kinda like Steven Spielberg! Think that's the look he's going for?
ReplyDeleteOh no, these terrify me!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I'll have to try to keep it on my radar.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really fed up with alien invasions yet. :P
ReplyDeleteSpace aliens, are still okay by me. Zombies and vampires -- YUK!
ReplyDeleteI saw the trailer in front of King's Speech. It looks ok, but I don't have cable so I probably won't end up seeing this.
ReplyDelete@Clarissa
ReplyDeleteI thought you weren't fed up with aliens, Clarissa :)
@Lil'Vics
it's like eating bad food - you know it's not good for you but you still do it :)
@Leigh
he did, BAND OF BROTHERS for example :)
@Alex
it is a mash-up of already seen things.
@Melissa
ReplyDeleteI agree, but he did have a leading role already in that LIBRARIAN TV films which were quite successful.
@Lisa
Noah has always been a bit of a rugged looking boy ;)
@Avalon
I'm guessing that you won't watch COWBOYS AND ALIENS which include Indians as well :)
ahman! i am kinda sick of alien invasion stuff, but this looks really good. i bet the hubs will watch it for sure! :)
ReplyDelete@Matthew
ReplyDeleteit's not happening any time soon :)
@Eagle
other people tell me the same :)
@Mary
what do the aliens have that zombies don't? :)
@Flixy
ah, yes, I know you don't have a TV :(
@Vics
ReplyDeleteit is a show for boys I guess ;)
I was a little worried when you mentioned Noah Wyle because he can sometimes be good (ER) and sometimes he can be...ahem...well, you already mentioned Librarian. After seeing the trailer however, this might be worth checking out.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of it, addicted to V the new series at the moment and not sure how much more alien invasion I can take, will give the first episode a go though.
ReplyDelete@Eric
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on Noah. He was so good in ER and not so good in LIBRARIAN. But the show could become new THE WALKING DEAD :)
@Dempsey
did you watch the old V series? I loved those while I was growing up as a kid :)
It sounds good. Too bad it's a TV show. I don't know if I'll be willing to commit to this especially during summer. Maybe when it comes out on DVD.
ReplyDeleteLee
hey, Arlee, welcome back, we missed you ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Dez,
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say: Happy New Year!!!
Doris
this looks good. thanks for the look
ReplyDeleteHoly crap Dez! That looks superbly amazing! Thanks for finding this, just got me super stoked for it!
ReplyDeleteAliens are yesterday's old news. Mutants are the new black. Plus, I won't be able to watch the show here. : (
ReplyDelete@Doris
ReplyDeletethanks, Doris, Happy New Year to you and your family as well :)
@Major
be welcome, glad you liked it ;)
@Bry
I knew it would be your kind of thing ;)
@Samantha
absolutely true, bring on the mutants and down with aliens ;)
I dunno. The idea is pretty overdone, but then so are zombies and people keep coming up with new ways to tell the story. Maybe this will be good, but you wouldn't know from the trailer.
ReplyDeleteyep, Maurice, we will have to wait and see!
ReplyDeleteI'm 50/50 on this. It looks impressive, but I'm not sure about its lasting capability. Any idea how long it's set to run for?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure but probably up to ten episodes
