'EMERALD CITY' EPIC SERIES
FIND LEAD STAR IN ADRIA ARJONA
Although it was first ordered for series and then cancelled at NBC years ago new fantasy series EMERALD CITY is again back in production with the lead actress announced! Adria Arjona will lead the ten episode epic series which draws upon events from L Frank Baum's popular 14 book WIZARD OF OZ novel series!
In EMERALD CITY, in the blink of a tornado’s eye, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona) and her K9 police dog are transported to another world, one far removed from our own, a mystical land of competing kingdoms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy. This is the fabled Land of Oz in a way you’ve never seen before, where wicked witches don’t stay dead for long and a young girl becomes a headstrong warrior who holds the fate of kingdoms in her hands.
GAIMAN'S 'AMERICAN GODS'
ORDERED INTO SERIES AT STARZ
Yet another show which has been announced a couple of times and then ditched is alive again over at Starz! Neil Gaiman's
AMERICAN GODS will
be turned into series by HANNIBAL and PUSHING DAISIES Bryan Fuller. As
'Deadline' reports it follows a war brewing between old and new gods:
the traditional gods of biblical and mythological roots from around the
world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods
reflecting society’s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity
and drugs. The book centres on Shadow Moon, an ex-con who becomes
bodyguard and travelling partner to Mr. Wednesday, a conman but in
reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his
forces in preparation to battle the new deities.

I hope this time that "American Gods" actually gets made!
ReplyDeleteit probably will since Starz only does straight to series orders
DeleteDamn, all sorts of goodness today, Dez!
ReplyDeleteglad you think so, Bob!
DeleteAmerican Gods is usually not my kind of story but would love to try as it sounds riveting.
ReplyDeletemine either, we shall see how it looks when the trailer hits the air
DeleteEmerald City piques my curiosity. I do love all things Wizard of Oz, so I can't wait to see more about this one!
ReplyDeleteshould be quite fun, and we do love seeing epic on major networks too!
DeleteEveryone talks about this Neil Gaiman, but I've not read any of his books. No particular reason, I just haven't got round to it. Do you know much of him? Do you like him?
ReplyDeleteNow Frankenstein Chronicles has my name written all over it. It looks great and it's on ITV so the Russians should have that one up on Youtube. I'll have to catch it quick before it gets yanked though. Or I'll have to figure out what code word they're using for the series and find it that way.
Dahlink, I has a troll today. This guy is the reason I no longer go near FB. On FB he's Don Bailey. He's a gamer and was FB friends with other gamers so I let him in. Right away he began PM'ng me and just wouldn't stop. It became way too much and scared me so I just won't go near FB ever again. Now he's on my blog. The Hubby looked at his comment and doesn't like it and I told this guy so. I hope he just goes away and leaves me alone without a big fuss.
I have a feeling he would be too dark for me, so I've never read him nor do I intend to :) And with all the books I have to translate I don't really have time to explore other reads :)
DeleteYou must start Russian lessons, then, dear :) I could teach you, since I studied it too, but I forgot it all since I haven't used it much :)
I shall check him out, dear. The good thing on FB is that you can just unfollow or unfriend people there, dahlink, just do that with him and he can't bother you any more. You can even block people there. We do miss you there, because we say more things at Face than here :(
I thought about that, but he could go bat shit crazy if I did and harass me more on blogger. Blogger is my safe place. Perhaps I am over reacting, but trolls frighten me. If the people in this country didn't have so many guns, they would be less scary. I'm just not used to dealing with people who carry weapons and I don't like it when one of them fixates on me. One hears such terrible stories of them killing one another over something happening on FB. He tried to find out where I live once but I refused to tell him. You would not believe the amount of killing that goes on in America. There was a big shoot out here last month between people who just didn't like each other. Two people were killed and when the police showed up, they shot at the police. They're barking mad.
DeleteI'm doing a post on Thursday then will be gone again for a few weeks. Perhaps he'll bugger off in the mean time.
Again, I tend to over react to trolls, but they do bother me so.
I tried to find him to tell him to sod off but I see you've probably erased his comments in last two posts here. Dahlink, just ignore him. Erase everything he writes, and don't even read it, just delete it. It's horrible to let maniacs dictate the way you live :( And I just don't get those who would pick on a lady.
DeleteDahling, trolls can harm you only when you pay them attention or when you let them crawl into your mind. They can attack your internet space, but they sure shouldn't bother you emotionally or mentally. They can't and must NOT make you run or hide or whatever.
I shall probably tell him to go and shag himself if I see him at your place :)
After a good nights sleep, I'm pretty much over it. I've gotten used to people being nice and it through me for a loop.
DeleteThank you for being my fan dahlink. I think we should form a mutual admiration society :0)
for sure, and then spread it intergalactically so that space species could adore us too :)
DeleteI like the look of the Frankie Chronicles, everyone loves Sean Bean!!
ReplyDeletenow, then there's a show for you, Ray!
DeleteI read the Graveyard Book by Neil G. It got rave reviews, and was supposed to be for middle school kids. It was ok.
ReplyDeletemethinks, this one is for adults, not that I'd consider GRAVEYARD BOOK a children's book either :)
DeleteA retelling of The Wizard of Oz? How interesting!
ReplyDeleteepic style!
Deletethough has been done before
Deletewas it?
DeleteSome cool tv coming!
ReplyDeleteyou're arriving late, Simon, the video was up all day and now it's gone
DeleteHer K9 police dog? What color is it?
ReplyDeletehope not emerald
DeleteThe video... was taken down.... by the thought police?
Deleteyep, they almost arrested me for the leakage... but me and the penguins escaped on time
DeleteGood, now one more thing... where is Adria's hand going in that picture? Just curious.
DeleteI've no idea... in your direction? Or to Adriatic sea?
