NBC has added supernatural soap Vines to its roster of drama projects in development for next season, with The Ring director Hideo Nakata on board to executive produce and possibly direct. The project, from writer Mark Kruger (The 4400) and film producer Michael Aguilar, was originally developed as a feature.

It centers on a troubled family desperate for a fresh start that takes over a Napa Valley winery whose ancient vines possess dangerous mystical powers.

Is this another Supernatural wannabe or The Gates (minus the vampires)?

Bwaaaaahahahahaha

---------------

This week on "Vines" - John gets drunk again and blames his behavior on mysterious, ancient vines that are controlling his soul. Debra begins to become suspicious.

Why am I thinking of The princess from Drawn Togethers cursed Octopus Vagina and the forest from Evil dead 2 when it raped that girl?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

I was seriously thinking of posting a thread about that show just for the weirdness factor. Well, I've been bitching that the networks won't ever try anything original so I can't complain about a mystical winery show.

Lessee...

1. This is The Little Vineyard of Horrors. The vines make a-MAZ-ing wine that wins one blue ribbon after another but only if watered...by human blood bwahaha!

2. The vines are an alien life form that settled in Napa eons ago and were perfectly happy before all the obnoxious Silicon Valley millionaires started buying up the land.

or there's always Door #3:

Why am I thinking of The princess from Drawn Togethers cursed Octopus Vagina and the first from Evil dead 2 when it raped that girl?

Japanese people are involved, that's why.

A supernatural Falcon Crest?

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

Ancient Indian burial ground! I'm calling it now!

 

[bigdaddy]

NBC?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

If only this were HBO or even AMC. But NBC wouldn't have the guts to do any of the "interesting" plotlines the topic suggests.

This show might turn out to be so bad...it's good.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I have all of the Gates to watch because Temis said it turned around well, well, well after I gave up on it during the pilot, also I almost have all of Unknown Persons which I shied away from because of a terrible review...

So I'm about to put that "so bad it's good" theory to the test twice over.

May God have mercy on my soul.
