UNDER THE DOME
In this week's television updates on the new projects coming to TV this Autumn, you can first check out the first character posters for Stephen King's new science fiction series UNDER THE DOME! The show, which has already been sold to more than 100 foreign networks which will make it a worldwide summer television event, starts airing its 13 episodes Monday June 24th at CBS! Set in the not too distant future, UNDER THE DOME
tells the story of the residents of the small town of Chester's Mill,
Maine, who suddenly find themselves cut off from the rest of the world
by a mysterious, impenetrable barrier that unexpectedly falls down from
nowhere surrounding the town. As the town begins to tear itself apart through
panic, a small group of people attempt to maintain peace and order while
also trying to uncover the truth behind the barrier and how to escape from it. Faced with the new situation, the people of Chester's
Mill will first experience faith, then fear and then fascism since
everything will go wrong under the dome and they will need an iron fist
to bring them order! The cast includes Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lavefre and Jeff Fahey!
RESURRECTION SF SHOW
WHAT IF YOUR DEAD ONES CAME BACK UNANNOUNCED?
Over at ABC they have released the first trailer for their new Autumn show RESURRECTION. The people of Arcadia, Missouri are forever changed when their deceased loved ones suddenly start to return. An 8-year-old American boy (Landon Gimenez) wakes up alone in a rice paddy in a rural Chinese province with no idea how he got there. Details start to emerge when the boy, who calls himself Jacob, recalls that his hometown is Arcadia, and an Immigration agent, Martin Bellamy (Omar Epps), takes him there. The home he claims as his own is occupied by an elderly couple, Harold (Kurtwood Smith) and Lucille Garland (Frances Fisher), who lost their son Jacob more than 30 years ago. While they look different, young Jacob recognizes them as his parents. Those closest to the family try to unravel this impossible mystery, including Sheriff Fred Garland (Matt Craven), whose wife Barbara drowned 30 years ago while trying to save Jacob. But this boy who claims to be the deceased Jacob knows secrets about his own death that no one else knows — secrets that Fred’s daughter, Gail (Devin Kelly), will begin to investigate and discover to be true!
Hi Dezzy - Both shows sound really interesting.
ReplyDeleteyep, supernatural suspense is one of the biggest TV trends these days
ReplyDeleteThat Resurrection trailer sure is spine tingling good ~ Thanks Dezzy ~
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to princess madeleine wedding pictures to Chris over the weekend ~ Now, Chris is a real man, ha ~ happy weekend ~
it kept me too on the edge of my seat :)
DeleteI will probably spotlight the royal wedding in Sweden later this Monday :) to bring a bit of glitz into the boring ol' beginning of the week.
but I can tell you I'm not thrilled with the gown she's wearing at today's wedding :)
DeleteIt doesn't look so bad ~ I would have preferred her hair down and curly, this one makes her look older ~ Looking forward to it ~
Deleteyep, she looks much better with her hair down and with her old golden hair not this dark colour.
DeleteI think I'm going to like both of these!! :)
ReplyDeleteyou will for sure, Jemi :)
DeleteResurrection sounds creepy good.
ReplyDeleteindeed it does
DeleteResurrection, thanks for this trailer Dezmond, a story as I love them
ReplyDeletesee you soon
Vincent ;)
should be a good show, Vincent
DeleteI love that poster of the child and the dog. So striking!
ReplyDeleteme too, so simple but yet so emotional!
DeleteConsidering almost everyone I know didn't like King's Under the Dome, I'm surprised they decided to make a series out of it. The premise sounds a lot like "Haven" though, nad that's very interesting. Nonetheless, I love SF and Horror, so I'm looking forward to watching both new series. :-)
ReplyDeletethey say the show doesn't stick to the book blindly :)
DeleteI loved The Dome and I think it could make a great series - if they do it right, which they tend not to when it comes to SK. As for Resurrection, that trailer made me wish for satellite tv again *sigh*
ReplyDeletele sigh, you always have torrents, Marcy :P
DeleteI hope the dome is good
ReplyDeletefingers crossed
DeleteUnder the Dome sounds like the Simpson's movie...
ReplyDeletewhat?
Deleteso it's like both shows have this thought of... having your cake and eating it too..
ReplyDeletelet us elaborate on that theory, doctor professor Jeremy
Deletecake is always fresh if kept under the dome... and if you should die and get brought back... then it's the best of worlds.
Deleteextremely wise theory, professor Retro, this could be applied in the mass production of city domes and we already have a market for them with some Western tyrants.
DeleteThanks for the info on Dome. I'll be watching for it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Dez.
thanks, Sandra, hope you're having a nice weekend with the family :)
DeleteThese look so good. I especially love just about anything from Stephen King.
ReplyDeleteshould be good shows, Medeia
DeleteUnder the Dome...can't wait. Although must finish reading the book first. Did you know, Stephen King didn't know anything about the Simpson Movie when he was writing UTD. He had no idea that the movie had the same idea until after the book was published and people started bombarding him with questions regarding it's similarity. Oops...lol.
ReplyDeleteI watched the Simpson's movie ( I remember it was terrible) but I don't remember any dome, even though I see you people mention it :) Says a lot about how much the film was impressive LOL
DeleteHope the show will be good!
Under the Dome is going to rock and I am really looking forward to Resurrection. Both shows speak to my dark side. ;)
ReplyDeletethey should both be quite intriguing
DeleteI've always found there's this impenetrable barrier between Selma and me. Maybe I should watch the show to find a solution.
ReplyDeleteDead loved ones coming back? So it's like with the dead cat but only different?
who's Selma? Selma Bouviere, Marge's chain smoking sister?
DeleteNo the Mexican one.... I don't like women who smoke. I'd rather stick my tongue in an ash tray.
ReplyDeletethat would be Salma, not Selma, oh, Randy Mandy.....
