forget zombies - this year, fairy tales are the hot new thing!

Looks like "Inception the TV Series" might just become a reality!

REM, from 20th TV, is described as an Inception-style thriller about a cop who wakes up after an accident to find he is living in two different realities.

I'm not sure if this is the same as another project in development at NBC:

S.A.N.D. - A squad called the Sleep and Nightmare division enter peoples’ dreams to tackle their nightmares (drama, script).

And what it is with network comedies? Why do they all sound so completely boring??? :wtf:
 
A lot of these scream "goth chic" to me... if one of these is successful expect a line of Hot Topic merch to replace the unsold Twilight overstock... :p
 
Locke & Key casting news.

Jesse McCartney just landed the final role on Fox's drama pilot Locke & Key. He will play Ty, the eldest of the Locke children. It is a key role in the project (pun intended) as it is considered the male lead on the show. Locke & Key, from 20th TV, Kurtzman/Orci and DreamWorks TV, is based on Joe Hill's comic. It tells the story of Nina Locke (Miranda Otto) and her three children, Tyler (McCartney), Kinsey (Sarah Bolger), and Bode (Skylar Gaertner) who, after the brutal murder of Nina's husband Rendell Locke, return to Keyhouse, his old family home in Massachusetts. There, they are pestered by an evil entity that's determined to hold the family hostage one way or another until it gets what it wants.

I think I read somewhere else that the oldest son is also possessed by a spirit...? Not sure if that's from the comic book or what.

Not sci fi, but notable: broadcast networks are apparently getting over their allergies to period drama. This show isn't really a Western like the story's title says - Missouri after the Civil War is a very different sort of story than Durango or Dodge - and I really hope the Iraq War analogy they're talking about isn't going to be groanworthy and ham-handed (silly me, of course it will be) - but at least it's not another cop show.

The Crossing (form. Reconstruction) was originally developed at FX where it was set up in 2009. The drama, written by St. Elsewhere co-creator Josh Brand, is set in a Missouri town during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era and centers on Jason, a Civil War soldier who crosses the country and settles into a complicated town where he is welcomed as its savior -- whether he likes it or not.

That Zombie lawyer show piqued my interest until I realized there were no zombie lawyers in it :(
 
I'm sad. More teen-wannabe goth horror fantasy. I have yet to see a good fantasy story on screens either big or small since the Lord of the Rings trilogy was brought to a close. Now-a-days I get more entertainment from watching a turned-off TV than one that's turned on.

What I'd like to see is a TV show that's based on a heavy serialized story based on a clear sequence of events, kind of like chapters in a book, instead of self-contained stories. But for God's sake no more of this teen "wah wah I don't want to be a violent (insert mostly human moster)" crap. Let's get some psychotic, ass-kicking shadows from Somewhere Far Beyond up in here.
 
What's fun about a turned-off TV? I imagine you do other stuff if you're not watching a TV that's turned on?! haha

After seeing the commercial last night and hearing Stephen Lang say "Welcome to Terra Nova", I think we can safely say they are going for the Avatar feel.

There may be a few similarities but that wasn't even my point.

So will the people from "The Arc" on Primeval find out that Terranova is responsible for all of the rifts in time? :lol:
 
Remember guys, it's never the idea, it's the execution.

I'm a little surprised at the number of Fae and fairytale related pilots are in the pipe though.

Who wouldn't love an HBO series featuring the Lords and Ladies of the Sidhe.
