'THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR' PREHISTORIC TV SERIES
Yet another epic series we're awaiting is Ron Howard's THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR over at Lifetime which has just added A.D.'s Charlene McKenna to the cast! Based on Jean M. Auel's book it takes place at a time in prehistory more than 25,000 years ago when Neanderthals shared the planet with the first early modern humans and a band of cave dwellers adopts blond and blue-eyed Ayla (Millie Brady), a child of the “Others.” As Ayla matures into a young woman of spirit and courage, she must fight for survival against the jealous bigotry of Broud (Johnny Ward), who one day will be clan leader. McKenna will play Iza, clan leader Brun’s (Hal Ozsan) sister and the Clan’s medicine woman.

'AIRLOCK' ONLINE SF SHOW
POSTER AND TEASER ARE HERE
And here's the first teaser and poster for three part on-line sf series AIRLOCK which will be released this year via BitTorrent. When a derelict ship docks with an isolated space station, Security Officer (Mark Coles Smith) is tasked with the investigation. He finds the crew murdered, and the ship's cargo - a destitute group of Sector Nine asylum seekers - hiding a deadly secret that threatens humanity itself.
I thought about reading Clan of the Cave Bear, but her last 2 books got SLAMMED by her fans. I hate to start a series only to find the author slacks on her last few books. I may give the show a go. We'll see.
ReplyDeletehope it will be good. I'm currently watching Lifetime's last years' epic series THE RED TENT.... it's a bit brutal for my taste
DeleteMs. McKenna looks like the gorgeous Zooey Deschanel.
ReplyDeleteshe has tons of make up on this photo
DeleteAirlock looks AMAZING!
ReplyDeletehope they give us a real trailer soon.. it's an interesting format.... something made for Torrents... a revolution :)
Delete"Airlock" trailer is good ! I don't know how the Tv serie will be but I'm always happy to see new Sci-Fi ones !
ReplyDeleteand 'The Clan of the Cave Bear" : I'm curious to hear their language ! :)
it will be really fun to see CAVE BEAR... we haven't had prehistoric movies nor series in ages... if ever....
DeleteMrs. Wesley was always fun. Julie Walters. You have no idea how difficult this comment was to compose. I got Julie mixed up with Brenda Blethyn.
ReplyDeletewe do love that type and that generation of British actresses.... Brenda, Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Imelda Staunton! Imelda is my personal fave!
DeleteCool teaser for Airlock.
ReplyDeleteClan might be interesting. I read the books years ago.
the clan is coming back
DeleteI read Clan of The Cave Bears back when it initially came out. Now, it's been a long time and I don't remember a great deal, but I do remember that I read the first three books in the series and then lost interest. There is loads of potential for a series I think though.
ReplyDeleteI hope they don't do it stupidly... Lifetime sometimes has that stupid air to their series :) I'm currently watching THE RED TENT and although it has brilliant cast it is stupid to no extent :) You know, as if they're making programmes for ladies who only have primary school or something....
DeleteI looked on YouTube for Indian Summers and some of the episodes are available. However there's no point in trying to watch it unless all of them are there. One of two things will happen: the rest will go up soon or they will all get pulled.
DeleteI can't watch them on YouTube because me needs English subs :) My speakers are terrible and I can't hear half of the things people say so I always download English subs for my torrented movies and series
DeleteWait...did I just read that Ron Howard is developing something for LIFETIME? As in the women's network that shows cheesy movies about women being abused?
ReplyDeletethat is CORRECT
DeleteCool trailer for Airlock! Interesting that humans are thought of as viruses.
ReplyDeletearen't we really?
DeleteA poster with guns... like it makes them look cool... Don't like that.
ReplyDeletedown with the guns!
DeleteAnd up with the what?
Deletethe human fleshy ones :)
DeleteI knew it.
Deleteof course you did
