Another strong female lead for CW network. Too bad they didn't have Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles....

I will watch the first episode and see where it goes...I think Mutant X would work great in a primetime setting with those type of directors & producers.

I guess Hollywood's unoriginality has reached the point of no return.

I don't know if this is actually a "remake". The description makes it sound more like a "next generation" revival or even a sequel. I'm hoping they get Peta Wilson back to play the original Nikita (one one that's "gone rogue"). If they do, this might make it more Season 6 than a do-over.

What is it about a follow up to a television version of a French film that was also remade as an American film that you find so unoriginal ? :lol:

Re: CW is making a pilot for remake of "La Femme Nikita"
 

Wow! The remake of a remake!

Re: CW is making a pilot for remake of "La Femme Nikita"
 

Which was already remade!

I've never seen any of les femmes Nikita. I feel deprived! Still, yet another remake?

Re: CW is making a pilot for remake of "La Femme Nikita"
 

I dunno do we really need a new Nikita? I mean this just smells of a half season wonder that will be released on dvd as "the entire series" for $19.95 by Christmas.

Good Lord, I had forgotten Codename Nina! :lol:

Is this going to take place in high school?

Re: CW is making a pilot for remake of "La Femme Nikita"
 

Yup. This pilot season is the worst I've ever seen.

Maybe I should ask the mods to boot my thread over here. There really isn't much sf/f to discuss...sadly. :(

Actually I don't see why they couldn't in fact just produce a mini-series and do just that. Everyone seems to want to create series that they hope run for 5 years at 22 episodes a pop, when in fact if they did a 6-hour mini-series of this, then they could tell a strong story and then be done with it. Works for Britain. And in fact even though it was technically the show's third season, the huge success of Torchwood: Children of Earth, all 5 hours of it, shows you don't even need a dozen episodes to make an impact.

Screw Britain. How would a 6-hour miniseries help a network like the CW, which has to deliver at least 10 hours of primetime programming per week? This season we saw what happened when a network (NBC) thought they had a better way of programming for primetime. It's better not to fuck with the formula.

This is frightening news. :( I love La Femme Nikita in all it's melodramatic and fun, often hokey glory. I don't see this remake/continuation going well at all.
