'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.

  'MINORITY REPORT' SF SERIES

NICK ZANO JOINS STARK SANDS

One of the movies which is getting its television version this Autumn season is MINORITY REPORT which will be turned into series from September 2nd at Fox and it just managed to hire Nick Zano as the second lead after he became free since his sitcom ONE BIG HAPPY got cancelled at NBC. He will play Arthur, the brother of  Dash (Stark Sands) who is using his special abilities to solve crimes.

The series is set in 2065 Washington 10 years after the demise of Precrime where a law enforcement agency had used three precogs, brothers Dash and Arthur and their foster sister Agatha, to identify and eliminate criminals before crimes were committed. Now, crime solving strategies are different. Precog Dash (Stark Sands) has returned in secret to help a brash, but shrewd police detective, Lara Vega (Meagan Good), attempt to stop the murders that he predicts. As they navigate this future America, they will search for Dash’s missing brother, Arthur (Nick Zano). Arthur has a hard shell, borne of years of difficult experience in the outside world that Dash avoided. He is confident and self assured, even Machiavellian, and, while Dash selflessly and heroically tries to stop the future murders he sees in his precognitive visions, his estranged twin uses his gift to consolidate personal wealth and power in the building of an empire.
