Glad a show is coming, cause collecting the Powers comic is kinda like not collecting any comics at all.
I was just thinking the other day how great Sackhoff would be as Pilgrim. She's got enough presence to help run a show, would be a heck of alot more believable as a kick ass cop than the twig portrayed in the comic, and does unhinged fantastically well. Unless they just kept piling it on and on til her character was completely broken, then made her an angel or something. Nobody needs to see that shit again.
@Craig Michael Ranapia: Doesn't promoted, approved, and unstarred have the general vibe of getting a humanitarian award and being invited to the White House right before a public flogging?
@cletar: I'm Han Zuckercorn, captain of the Millenium Falcon. Don’t get too close to me. I got this itch that’s out this world. I think something layed eggs on me.
I assume Orci and Kurtzman are having a problem with the sequel because Paramount asked them not to have any more scenes where Kirk is either strangled or dangled, and they have no real idea how to proceed.
@LREKing: I think my only real problem is that far more money will be spent and made on the movie when the TV show is just so much better in every way.
@jpedersen: Dammit! Okay, you win. I'll just have to develop some sensory blinds for bonus features where Orci talks about what a storytelling genius he is.
@hdgotham (Hannah Wilson): True enough. What I can't figure out is why movie making folks don't realize his purpose. Look at Singer. He made a Superman movie that basically everyone was gonna see at the height of George Dubya insanity. Sadly, nstead of portraying an Alex Ross father figure for a misguided nation, you got an emo Peeping Tom. I know it's kinda from the other side of the fence, but whatever happened to "with great power comer great responsibility?"
First off, why weren't Orci and Kurtzmann finally sent off on an ice flow after Transformers 2? And don't give me any of that Star Trek crap either. The movie was all nostagic charm and perfect casting. Any chimp could have written that script.
Secondly, as much as I love RDJ, why does anyone think there needs to be a Guy Ritchie sequel when BBC's got a show like Sherlock on the air?
I get it. Yates perfectly grasped the mood and gravitas of the drawn out and largely nonsensical middle of that last book (that nobody had the stones to suggest editing). I don't like it, but I get it.
