Following the success of their ARROW superhero series CW is, according to speculations over at "Deadline", planning to give yet another superhero his own show!

WELCOME TO ME
JAMES MARSDEN, WES BENTLEY
Here's a nice little cast: "The Hollywood Reporter" writes that Wes
Bentley and Joan Cusack have joined WELCOME TO ME which already has
James Marsden, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Robbins, Alan Tudyk and Kristen
Wigg. It is a dramedy about society's obsession with fame with the
story which revolves around a woman who suffers from dissociative
personality disorder. She wins the lottery and spends all of her
winnings on a cable access talk show about herself.

NBC'S NEW MINI SERIES
STEPHEN KING'S 'TOMMYKNOCKERS'
In other television news today, after scoring summer success with their current TV hit UNDER THE DOME based on Stephen King's work, NBC has ordered yet another television 
adaptation on the famous sf writer's novel! King's TOMMYKNOCKERS will be based on his 1987 novel about the residents of a small Maine town and how they deal with what they perceive to be an alien spacecraft that has landed nearby!
EPIC CLEO- PATRA AND PLYMOUTH
I've already informed you before that NBC has also ordered a six episode historical mini series on CLEOPATRA and also PLYMOUTH, another historical mini series which will follow the challenges and drama of the Pilgrims' journey across the Atlantic and the difficulties of settling in a new country!
wait, there was a great show called "flash"... it had a batman vibe... bring that back lick-it-split...
ReplyDeleteI did mention it in the post, Jeremy :) With John Wesley Shipp and Amanda Pays :) I remember that in one episode he even had a blue twin brother Polux :)
Deleteyeah... i want it back, it also has a great score to... sorry i read your post and then my brain took over. it is a must see classic.
DeleteI loved it as a teen! And I do remember that it had great rather atmospheric score!
Delete"Plymouth" could have possibilities . . . .
ReplyDeleteI think so too, we haven't seen that period in a series before
Deleteit will be hard for flash to wow audiences
ReplyDeletehe's probably my fave superhero beside Flash Gordon.
DeleteThey already made Tommyknockers once. I don't know why they don't make something else of his that hasn't been done before *sigh*
ReplyDeletewas it a film, or a show, I read somewhere about it, but I think it was very old ...
DeleteOoohhhh I like Mr. Marsden's style.
ReplyDeletewho could resist a hot geek?
DeleteI haven't watched Arrow yet, but I was planning on diving into the series now that it's available for download. Flash was always a favorite when I was a kid. Who wouldn't want to be able to tease their brother and then run fast enough to get away. :P
ReplyDeleteit would be quite a change for me since I haven't ever run a single meter in my life :)
DeleteThe Flash, eh? Hmmm....I'll have to think about that....
ReplyDeleteNow, Welcome To Me? That sounds like something I will love...the story...the cast. Can't really go wrong.
And correct me if I am wrong, because so many of Mr. King's books have been turned into movies, but didn't they already make The Tommyknockers?
I hear they did, but you know that milking the cow is currently one of the trendiest sports :)
DeleteYou aren't kidding!
Deletenever
DeleteLove those superheroes! Hopefully with the music of Queen!! ,-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
we do love Queen in FLASH GORDON :)
DeleteThey did a miniseries version of the Tommyknockers in 1993 but maybe they think with an extended series they can do better. I love Under The Dome but wish they would do The Talisman. That would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching UNDER THE DOME too, hope it ends in some spectacular way :)
DeleteTommy Knockers, Tommy Knockers, knockin' on your door. I remember that. No teeth.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend & Boogie Boogie :-)
does tommy knockers mean something specific in ENglish?
DeleteThe Flash sounds interesting. Lets hope Tommyknockers is better than the book. IMO one of King most boooooring books!
ReplyDeleteI think they will probably make it a summer series like they did with UNDER THE DOME
DeleteStephen King just keeps 'knocking' those movies out doesn't he? heh heh
ReplyDeletethey're milking him big time
DeleteWasn't there already a "Tommyknockers" movie or series?
ReplyDeletethey say there was :)
