WW2 'JAMBUSTERS' NOVEL
TO BE TURNED INTO TV SERIES
While we are marking a century from the beginning of World War One, ITV has announced today their work on a six episode TV series on World War Two based on Julie Summers' bestseller JAMBUSTERS! The drama follows a group of inspirational women with fantastic spirit and attitude in a rural Cheshire community. With World War II on the horizon, multiple strands of plot interweave to create a period drama full of jeopardy and intrigue, but also great humanity and modernity. The idea is to hire some of the greatest UK actresses in the cast!

At least Fox didn't let HIEROGLYPH go a full season get a following then cancel it.
ReplyDeleteThat was my exact thought, damn you fox... damn you!
Deletebut it is highly unheard of to order something into series and release pics and trailer and then change your mind...
DeleteWhat does the FOX say...you're canceled!
Deleteevil Fox... first ALMOST HUMAN, now this too....
DeleteFOX, just needs to have more reality and cooking shows with angry hosts.
DeleteI've never understood how could those people be so violent, rude and angry if they work in the empire of food and sweets?
DeleteWow, what a disappointment for the cast and crew of Hieroglyph. Cancelled before you even get on air. I'm guessing it was probably a very expensive show to produce.
ReplyDeletethey say it didn't match their vision... the first episode was shot and then they didn't like the rest of the scripts for other episodes
DeleteThe best of me , i like this story , great trailer .
ReplyDeleteCheers .
I like it too, Captain
DeleteToo bad about HIEROGLYPH. I know people had concerns about the apparent white-washing of Egyptian history, but skin colour aside, I liked the casting and was looking forward to it.
ReplyDeletewe're now only left with Spike TV's KING TUT and HBO's possible PHARAOH series
DeleteI'm going to purchase Snowblind right now and read it before I watch the series. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteKing says it has the most amazing last page ever
DeleteCool beans for Golden. Haven't seen his name out in about in awhile. But then, I don't visit many media-related blogs. Why would I? When there's everything I need right here at The Hollywood Spy.
ReplyDeletewe do cover everything.... and uncover too....
DeleteHahaha on the uncover.
Deletetis what I'm famous for....
DeleteYou is delightfully naughty darling :)
DeleteI know, dear, I know :)
DeleteHIEROGLYPH cancelled? For heavens sake ... It looked damn good too.
ReplyDeletehope we shall at least see the pilot somewhere....
DeleteWe had Women's Institutes here in Canada too. My grandma was a member for many years. Such organizations have all gone the way of the dodo bird now, of course.
ReplyDeletewe have some of those charity female societies here, but I'm not sure what the English institute exactly did
DeleteBummer about Hieroglyph.
ReplyDeletetotal bummer
DeleteI bet there's some drama behind the scenes of Heiroglyph to warrant Fox cancelling it before it even aired. Sounds like to me that someone didn't get a blowjob on an office couch.
ReplyDeletethere is always drama in Ancient Egypt LOL
DeleteIt's funny--I'm reading "Gone" now and I thought the same thing I thought while reading the synopsis for "Snowblind." They both sound like Stephen King stories! He praised "Gone," as well. So every time something seems to be a ripoff of Stephen King, he praises it!
ReplyDeletethe man likes his own style :)
DeleteBut I wanted to see more of that hot girl in Hieroglyph
ReplyDeleteno luck there....
DeleteI love horror and a New England setting.
ReplyDeleteJambusters looks interesting. I love historical pieces.
and we do love inspirational books
DeleteCrazy how Heiroglyph was cancelled already. Maybe another network will pick it up?
ReplyDeleteprobably not. but you never know..... Only one episode has been shot
DeleteAw... sad to hear about HIEROGLYPH. Can I stamp my feet?
ReplyDeleteSNOWBLIND sounds intriguing.
such sad news, but we shall have something from the epic front later today
DeleteHieroglyph cancelled? Bad news for me, bad news...
ReplyDeleteyep, even before it was aired....
DeleteThese all look good Dezzy. Sorry to hear about Hyrogliphics.
ReplyDeletesorry indeed, Donna
DeleteStrange news about Hieroglyph, does everybody still get paid?
ReplyDeleteonly for what they already done, I guess :)
DeleteNow Jambusters is the one I'm into. I do like the stories of how people made it through the War. The little things they cherished and the way they came together to help one another out in bleak times are so important.
ReplyDeletehaving survived a number of them, myself, I can confirm that those stories are always enlightening, profound, shocking and interesting too.
