JOEL KINNAMAN TO LEAD
'ALTERED CARBON' SF SERIES
We're still sticking to the TV world today, people, starting with the news coming from Netflix where Joel Kinnaman has been cast to lead the new sf series ALTERED CARBON! It will be produced by AVATAR's Laeta Kalogridis, directed by GOT's Miguel Sapochnik based on Richard Morgan's bestseller.
25TH CENTURY EARTH
The story is set in the 25th century when the human mind has been digitized and the soul is transferable from one body to the next. Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman), a former elite interstellar warrior known as an Envoy who has been imprisoned for 500 years, is downloaded into a future he’d tried to stop. If he can solve a single murder in a world where technology has made death nearly obsolete, he’ll get a chance at a new life on Earth.

THIS IS US should have some interesting segments.
ReplyDeleteit is a better trailer than I expected
Delete"This is Us" sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeletecould be interesting, I didn't think it would have any potential at first
DeleteThis is us trailer was touching. Good luck Altered Carbon!
ReplyDeletewe do need us a good sf show
DeleteI saw This Is Us trailer yesterday and am actually excited for this one. Sounds like a good replacement for all the shows they cancelled recently.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed for Justin Hartley!
DeleteThey cancelled Galavant? well geez. I didn't start the 2nd season, but I liked it.
ReplyDeleteindeed they have!
DeleteThis is Us looks interesting and Altered Carbon's description pulled me in. I'd like to see that.
ReplyDeleteglad you liked that plot
DeleteI love me some Mandy Moore but I'm not too sure about this one.. The trailer was ok but I'm not too sure I'm crazy about the concept.
ReplyDeleteit needs to pull us in more .. but then again there's Milo's naked bum in the very first scene....
DeleteThis is Us looks like a heartwarming movie.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what life will really be like in the 25th century. Transferring souls from one body to the next sounds way out there.
I hope I get some hunk's body.. I always fancied myself living like Crang from NJINJA TURTLES
