'SPARK' STEAMPUNK SERIES
LENA OLIN, TOM BRITTNEY CAST
TV news for you today, new stars are being added to the cast of ABC's fantasy series SPARK pilot! Lena Olin (Welcome To Sweden) and gorgeous Tom Brittney (The Syndicate) will play mother and son in this lavish drama series of passion, greed and hope in a Steampunk reality, circa 2016. Set in an alternate history where gas and coal fuel the world, the drama centres on the battle for power between two rival families and a rebellious young woman with a spark of invention that could level both their empires.
Olin will play Hazel Stockton who now controls the powerful Stockton
Coal Company using her wealth more altruistically than her arch rivals
at Lavelle Gas — but despite her philanthropic outreaches to the city’s
poor, she still craves absolute power, and is not above using strong-arm
tactics to achieve
it. However, when deadly sabotage starts claiming
innocent lives across the city, she denies any involvement to her son
Aiden, Captain of the Investigative Division of the Watch, who is
investigating the incidents. Tracy Ifeachor will play one of the
forensic investigators.

I do like the sound of Spark!
ReplyDeletehope it will look futuristic and not realistic
DeleteCan´t wait for that steampunk "Spark" series!!! Chers Dez!
ReplyDeleteit does sound very fresh and unusual
DeleteI'm a big fan of classic steampunk and if they don't get it right with Spark, I won't watch it. I hope they know what it really is and don't screw it up. I say this because they'd have to go back to the origins and do their research. And sometimes these peoples is lazy :0)
ReplyDeleteThis could be interesting because I don't recall ever seeing a steampunk show on a major network. Hope it won't look too realistic, but more fantastic
DeleteSteampunk is huge right now.
ReplyDeleteI thought the trend was over, but it seems it is not
DeleteA show with a steampunk theme sounds interesting. I can't seem to keep up with Ted Danson, he changes shows too often.
ReplyDeleteI remember that sitcom he had in which he played a doctor, forgot the name... it was mildly bad :)
DeleteThe steampunk one good but has a few television cliches.
ReplyDeletewe need to see the pilot
DeleteI'm a pilot.
Deletein your dreams?
DeleteThese all sound interesting, but steampunk reality caught my attention the most.
ReplyDeletehope they really make it steampunkish
DeleteGlad to see Ted Danson back on TV.
ReplyDeleteand Whoopie is returning too, and Candice Bergen, too bad Cosby's plans to return have been broken
DeleteSquee! I love steampunk, so Spark sounds like one that I must see. Any idea when the air date is?
ReplyDeleteit is just a pilot, they might not even order it into series. 'tis the pilot season now
DeleteI do hope they do. I was trying to dig into a little more about this and somehow stumbled upon CW doing The Notebook as a television series. I think they are just doing the pilot right now, but that would be on that I would also be excited about!
DeleteCW has so many pilots right now it is hard to keep track although I think most of them won't go through
DeleteRight you are. Sadly, they tend to pick the crummiest of the bunch to air. I haven't watched a show on CW in a really long time.
DeleteI watch THE 100 and REIGN and both have been renewed for fourth seasons yesterday, but they also have tons of those really mediocre superhero shows that I tried to watch but they were just too blah
DeleteWe are all of us addicted to series. I say ditch Netflix.
DeletePlease don't hate me.
only we do not know what series you are addicted to
