CATHERINE DENT CAST IN
'GALYNTINE' POSTAPOCALYPTIC NEW FOX TV SHOW
Sorry for not posting anything yesterday, people, our headquarters were under severe storm and a thunder hit powerline in our street so we were without electricity, internet, cable TV... It's not like you missed much, since it's been a very dry period in the news business.... In TV news, AMC's upcoming apocalyptic show GALYNTINE has found its first cast member in Catherine Dent from THE SHIELD. The dystopian science fiction show will be set in a post-apocalyptic future without technology where a group of survivors are forced to adapt to a new way of life. Dent will portray a female survivor with two kids. THE WALKING DEAD's Greg Nicotero is producing.

RED BAND STORY
What if a hospital was your high school, boarding school and summer camp rolled into one? What if it was the place where you fell in love for the first time and made friendships that lasted a lifetime? And what if it was all weirdly hilarious and the most fun you ever had in your entire life? This is the world of RED BAND SOCIETY. The pediatric ward is run by Nurse Jackson (Octavia Spencer),
a caregiver with a
take-no-prisoners approach to getting these kids through the most
difficult part of their lives. Overseeing much of the 
treatment in the
ward is DR. Jack McAndrew (Dave Annable), the country's top pediatric
surgeon.

Interesting--agents and editors are telling writers not to dare send anything dystopian as the genre is dead, dead, dead, yet so many new movies and TV shows are coming out on the topic. Maybe it's dead in the literary world but movie/tv people buy books to turn into movies, so there's a delay in the death of the genre in those media.
ReplyDeleteit is a current trend in TV due to the success of THE WALKING DEAD. And due to the fact that the world is in turmoil and some chaos will soon happen....
DeleteIn my opinion heartwarming and inspiring books and movies will be what comes after the darkness...
There is so many shows featuring a post-apocalyptic future, it makes me wonder. RED BAND SOCIETY looks like it will be fun, sad and inspiring.
ReplyDeletethey;re preparing us for the real thing :(
DeleteDoom and gloom ... not for me.
ReplyDeleteDelighted to see, however, that you have posted. Was starting to get worried!
Red Band Society seems rather inspiring and heartwarming, not so gloomy.
DeleteAnd glad to see someone worried about my absence, dear :)
No need to apologize. Lightning tends to be jealous of those earth-dwellers who a dazzling. Which is the real reason why lightning strikes. That or some special attraction.... ;)
ReplyDeleteor Ming from Mongo trying to destroy his intergalactic rival.....
DeleteI'm glad to hear you're okay darling. It had to be a bit worrisome to see another wicked bit of weather after the flooding.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Red Band as I've never liked anything that is set in a hospital. Might give this a try if it comes to the Netflix.
We're still having torrential downpours here, dear, on Sunday it was in my town and yesterday some people from the city of Kragujevac had to be evacuated because a month worth of rain fell in just 40 minutes. As if the sky is trying to wash away all the dirt .... but then again if it was doing that shouldn't the sky attack the parliament and the government?
DeleteLooks like an interesting show.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are okay and up and running.
thanks and hope you will enjoy the show when it starts airing
DeleteI remember that guy on Brothers and Sisters.
ReplyDeleteyep and he was in ABC's 666 AVENUE but that one didn't go on for long
DeleteRED BAND SOCIETY great look , and funny this series .
ReplyDeleteCheers .
yep, it will be both funny and sad at the same time....
DeleteI don't need any more dramas, that insist on giving me real stuff... my life is real enough.
ReplyDelete'tis true, Jeremy
DeleteDavid Annable intrigues me in any role he takes on. This should be good, especially with that very interesting rest of the cast.
ReplyDeleteYou had storms? I'm in awe. We haven't had a storm in so long, I kind of miss them.
I like him too, there is something something in him....
DeleteWe don't miss them since they flooded half of our country and killed hundreds of people...
Smoking in a hospital? I'm surprised that was even allowed to be depicted on the show!
ReplyDeleteit has its role for that particular character .... Here in my country teachers even smoke with kids in schoolyards... something that got me into a fight with a fellow teacher once...
DeleteWe suffered through heavy storms here yesterday too! Thankfully the power didn't go out for very long, but it was a pain having to reset all the clocks! Hope you didn't suffer any property damage in the storms!
ReplyDeleteSadly I did - one destroyed TV and one extending cable burnt down in my room (but that one saved my own TV from being electrocuted).... We've been having daily storms and downpours for two months now... kinda like living in Monsoon India.... I might start eating rice and curry..... and bowing to Vishnu.....
DeleteToday, I'm playing catchup on your blog ...
ReplyDeleteWhilst the oven pre-heats ....
