If you have any info on an upcoming television show or spoilers here is the place. Just remember to follow the rules.

It's offical, Lions Gate Films is pushing forward with a Punisher TV series. Punisher and Blade are both making the jump to television.

Anythoughts?

they stole my idea for a punisher series!!!

soudns good though

I dunno if anybody here watched it, but it appears 'The Inside' has been cancelled.

This show seemed to be improving week on week so this news is quite disappointing. It was certainly never big in the originality stakes but it was watchable enough, had decent talent behind it and had lots of scope for development.

The Inside??? never heard of it, then again, all I watch is G4TV, Comedy Central, and Cartoon Network.

Quoted from TC Taylor The Inside??? never heard of it

I believe this is the same for a lot of people, probably part of the reason it's dead in the water now...  

Seriously though... What is it with American networks cancelling really good shows, often before they have a chance to find their feet? I happens way too often, quite often resulting in egg on face for them - the resurgence of Family Guy and the Firefly movie springing to mind.

Some more info on the Blade television series. New actor to play Blade.

Buffy and Angel's James Marsters is going to play Braniac on Smallville this fall.

That would be great news Impulse, James needs to act more and stop trying to be a musician.

This Blade series sounds like exactly what I said in movie reviews about how they f**ked Wesley and now a new guy as Blade? Bull, I would never watch it just for the simple fact these suits resulted to underhanded childish antics to get rid of Wesley and make room for the oh so exciting Nightstalkers.

That'll be a good film.

I'm probably the only person on this entire discussion board who gives the soap opera PASSIONS any credit, but here goes ...

This Tuesday they're beginning a storyline that pays homage to disaster movies.  The show takes place in a small sea-side New England town of Harmony, and on Tuesday's episode, the town will get hit with an earthquake.  The week after that, they get hit with a Tsunami and a central character dies.  

The story includes enough characters that they film a new 35 minute (plus 25 minutes of commercials to fill the hour) episode per day, but they film them more than a month in advance, so they actually edited the best parts of this upcoming storyline into a movie called "PASSIONS: DISASTER" which premiered in a cinema at Universal Studios on July 12th.  That movie was a highly condensed -- but still two hours long -- version of the upcoming storyline that begins on Tuesday's episode.  And after the storyline airs fully on TV, they're considering releasing the movie edit of it onto DVD.  I like that show enough to buy it.  

Anyone else give even the slightest of a damn?

Nope. Soap Operas in my opinion are made for women, every female I know watches them and 1 male who I will not name. I did enjoy 1 storyline on Days of our Lives when they went on that cruise to the island, that was a great summer of watching that show ha-ha

I've only ever watched Passions for maybe 5 minutes, these shows are just not made for me. They stop becoming relatable with these far fetched boring storylines, characters talking to themselves to tell us the story so far and a whole bunch of things that maybe some people like but I feel like having to talk to yourself is almost as bad as someone telling us everything in a script or worse.

Maybe when I get older I'll get into them more but at this point in time they are just so lame, maybe it's just Days of our Lives, and the 2 others I've been watching.

I like the farfetched stories.  I love that the earthquake and tsunami are caused by the witch Tabatha.  And they don't talk to themselves as much lately.  

Certain female demographics are home more than men during that time-slot, so certain elements in the stories are geared towards women, but the head writer of both PASSIONS and DAYS OF OUR LIVES is a guy named James E. Reilley.  He's a very talented, insanely prolific writer, who is a great role model for any writer, male or female.  

A couple of weeks ago, PASSIONS had a high speed chase on boats.  The chase was filmed outdoors, and it had some good twists and turns and ended with an explosion.  Every couple of weeks they have another good chase, or a pretty good fight.  And a guy can't watch that stuff without at least a little surge of testosterone, so don't bash what you don't watch.

I didn't bash it, I said the ones I watch and I also said Passions wasn't one of them. But also like I said I won't care much for them until I get older, life is more important right now than day soap operas.
