The show stated in some episodes that the "Millennium" didn't necessarily revolve around the Y2K, that it was a concept as opposed to a date. With everything that's happened since the show went away there are innumerable tales to tell. This is a great thing and even better since that talentless hack CC won't be able to touch it.
@InfiniteMonkey: I don't think so. It's been around for years and they've never excused it. It's a huge mall so there's a road near it named after it, the whole area is named after it, and all the side businesses that sprout up around a mall are named after it. All with one N. #millennium
They can keep going with the character of Frank Black, but I really don't see the point in continuing the story of the show, since it was all based around averting an apocalypse in the year 2000. They could do something about 2012, but John Cusack seems to have that apocalypse covered already.
Ok, I want to be excited about this- and I am...cautiously. My hands are shaking and my nipples could cut glass right now.
But, I have some concerns-
1. Why should we trust Fox with this, when they killed the series to begin with? Did they just do it to poke Chris Carter in the eye?
2. Is there a script yet? If so, who wrote it? If not, who's on the list?
3. Anyone seen Bone Dry and can offer some insight into this Hart guy? I wouldn't be upset at all that Carter isn't in the director's (or writer's) chair, frankly.
@twophrasebark: Because they believe (and unforrtunately they are often correct) that all us mouth breathers will see it for the brand name even if they change everything about it. See I, Robot for an object lesson.
Millenium was ahead of it's time, right down to the melancholy, vaguely Irish, stringy theme music.
@twophrasebark: I tolerated it. But beyond a random importing of the three laws, it bore very little resemblance to anything Asimov wrote until the later stuff when he tried to tie all his SF together. It just co-opted the title to try to build an audience.
@twophrasebark: Taken on its own, I, Robot wasn't bad, but it wasn't Asimov at all. It wouldn't catch half the shit it does if it had a different title.
I've thought a "Millennium" movie was a fantastic idea for years now... I only wish I had gotten my screenwriting career going enough to have a chance to write it... Frank Black is a fascinating character!

I just enjoyed it as a movie. Not in the context of Asimov...
