THE TOMORROW PEOPLE
NEW SF SHOW TRAILER
After yesterday's trailers for new sf shows THE 100 and STAR CROSSED, here's a trailer for third new sf show to air at CW this Autumn: TOMORROW PEOPLE - the next evolutionary leap of mankind, a generation of humans born with paranormal abilities. Stephen Jameson stands at the crossroads between the world we know and the shifting world of the future. Up until a year ago, Stephen was a “normal” teenager — until he began hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, never knowing where he might wake up. Now, Stephen’s issues have gone far beyond the usual teenage angst, and he is beginning to question his sanity. In desperation, Stephen decides to listen to one of the voices in his head, and it leads him to his first encounter with the Tomorrow People — John, Cara and Russell — a genetically advanced race with the abilities of telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic communication.
The Tomorrow People looks very interesting Dezzy ~
ReplyDeleteDev was so charming and funny in that Marigold Hotel ~
Thanks for all the updates ~
I can't wait for the sequel to MARIGOLD, it was such a lovely and heartwarming film :)
DeleteDev's new project sounds way cool.
ReplyDeleteNino and ALi is one of my very favorite stories. I've read it a hundred times. I'd love to see this film. Let's hope they get some great actors and not just empty, pretty faces.
Can't say I'm all interested in the miners. Not big on disaster dramas.
bbbbbut but but... we will probably see seminaked sweaty Antonio and Rodrigo in the film!
DeleteFingers crossed that Dev's girlfriend Freida Pinto doesn't get cast as Nino, she is ever so empty....
Tis true they are making the miners pretty. Good God most of them looked like gargoyles. And they were all old men for the most part. ;)
Deletewell, if somebody was playing moi on the big screen, you don't really think I'd choose Stephen Fry or Jim Broadbent to play me, do you? :) I'd choose someone hot myself :) and train them personally....
DeleteYeah, I could see that of you. :)
Deletebut of course
DeleteWho would you choose????
Deletenobody actually looks like me in Hollywood (although whenever I do what is your celebrity lookalike at those sites around the net I always get Justin Timberlake) so it would have to be someone totally new.
DeleteThe Tomorrow People looks like a great ride. So does Rodrigo Santoro, ahem. (;
ReplyDeleteindeed a great ride, sister :)
DeleteI was a tomorrow person....I think!
ReplyDeleteand then what happened, Lurk? :)
DeleteThe Tomorrow People looks pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteare the two of you using the same computer? :)
DeleteTHE TOMORROW PEOPLE Amazing !
ReplyDeleteGreetings .
glad you like it, Vincent :)
DeleteI like Dev Patel -- he's a charmer!
ReplyDeletehad some nice films for sure
DeleteCurious to see The 33. I'm always interested in a good survival story,l and this is one that nobody would have ever believed, if it weren't true.
ReplyDeleteyep, and it is kind of a new trend in Hollywood, so we shall be seeing lots of survival stories in films and shows
DeleteRodrigo Santoro. wow. He's hot.
ReplyDeletemy ladies really do like him today :)
Deleteall looks good, cannot wait for the future of failing tv shows. though tp looks good...
ReplyDeleteLOL I'd describe this year's pilot season as - much ado about nothing :)
Deletemy michael keaton response... ha!
Deleteha to you as well!
Deletesorry him being in much ado about nothing.
DeleteOh,my, I almost do not remember him from that one... the only thing I remember from it is too much Emma Thompson (nice lady, but in small quantities) and Keanu Reeves painful accent :)
DeleteBut it is one of those curious films which have tones of stars who weren't stars at the time (it has Kate Beckinsale, Imelda Staunton....) kinda like 300 (Michael Fassbender, Rodrigo Santoro, Lena Headey, Gerard Butler) or THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (Jim Sturgess, Eddie Redmayne, Yuno Temple).
Eep. I'm claustrophobic so I shall not be seeing "33" simply because the subject matter will give me nightmares. I'm so glad that real life story had a happy ending. I cannot imagine a worse fate than buried alive. Well...it's a close tie to being torn apart by a great white shark.
ReplyDeleteor being eaten alive by dirty rats :(((
DeleteGood to see Antonio working again. He's been MIA lately.
ReplyDeletehe was busy shooting commercials for Orbit chewing gum :))
DeleteIf I could pick one super power for myself it would be teleportation so I'm looking forward to the Tomorrow People :)
ReplyDeleteah, it would be so difficult choosing a superpower :) I'd be torn between teleportation, being invisible and controlling powers of nature :)
DeleteI like the sound of THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY and The Tomorrow People.
ReplyDeleteI remember the news about the Chilean miners. I'm glad they survived after all those days being trapped.
Yep, it is always shocking when they save someone who's been trapped for such a long time, like that woman recently in Bangladesh who was found alive half a month after the collapse of that mall.
Deleteseems kind of heroes like
ReplyDeletenot really
DeleteThe 33 and Ali and Nino look good. I think both are great stories and would provide good conversation. Sometimes it's nice to be just entertained (really most of the time) and sometimes it's nice to have to think about what you've seen.
ReplyDeletethose films that makes us think are always the best!
DeleteI want to be a Tomorrow People ;D
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
The 33 will be hard to watch, but at least we know how it ends~
yep, luckily it was a happy end!
DeleteSo Tomorrow People is going to be like Heroes basically?
ReplyDeleteTOMORROW PEOPLE are a remake of a 70's British show, so if anybody is copying anyone it's HEROES copying them.
DeleteDramatizations of the tragic events make me blue. Unless the money is donated. Then it makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure most of them got money for the rights on their story
