Ca doit être les deux seules nouvelles séries qui m'intéressent (avec Copper).

Triste saison.

Revolution, ça fait vaguement penser à Jericho au vu du pitch.

Il y a aussi Vegas de Pileggi et Mangold, mais ça sent un peu le réchauffé.

Ca me fait marrer comment les titres de série se résument souvent à un mot "choc" évoquant tout un univers, genre c'est l'oeuvre ultime sur le sujet.

Friday, November 9th
"Tumor" (W9)

A la rentrée, "Fat" sur NRJ12, programmé entre les anges de la téléréalité et hollywood girls.

Avec le programme court "TiQ" en première partie de soirée après la météo.

Josh Schwartz, creator of The O.C., and the CW’s golden child (he currently has four series running or about to premiere on the network: Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, the Carrie Diaries and Cult) is teaming up with Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho) and Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight) for yet another hour-long CW teen drama, Copeland Prep.

Ellis is said to be writing the script and acting as executive producer alongside Fake Empire’s Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. Hardwicke will act as an executive consultant on the project.

Vampires? Werewolves? Pardon, but that’s soooo 2010. In a really obvious metaphor, the secondary school of Copeland Prep is so tough and so competitive that it turns its students into — wait for it – monsters! And the poor surrounding town will seemingly get the brunt of their mischief.

C'est la fête pour GDT en ce moment :

The Strain is the first in a trilogy of novels Del Toro published with partner Chuck Hogan starting in 2009 about a vicious strain of very un-sexy vampires that spread across the Earth like a pandemic outbreak. The concept was originally a TV show pitch that got no heat and Del Toro and Hogan then morphed into the three-part prose series. Well now that the books have sold a few copies and the duo has plotted out enough material for several seasons of television, a small bidding war between cable networks have left Del Toro and Hogan with a big deal with FX to bring a new vampiric vision to the small screen.

The first episode will shoot this time next year as the script is finished over the next few months, with the pilot to be prepped while Del Toro finishes Pacific Rim and gets that blockbuster released next summer.

This is apparently the first time FX has bought a series off of a pitch in this manner, and the first actual TV greenlight Del Toro has gotten, despite the Nutshell and Hulk irons he has in the fire. The director feels he can get up to five seasons out of the concept, with an emphasis on the close-ended approach to the series.

“FX made the most sense, based on the level of commitment, passion and understanding of the concept of the book. They got behind the idea of making this a close-ended series; we wanted to follow the books closely and so it couldn’t be open-ended, but rather three to five seasons max.”

As I said yesterday, it’s an exciting field for Del Toro to be working in, especially with a concept that is wholly his and Hogan’s own. He agrees.

“Creatively [television] is the richest field to mine a long arc of character, and I follow about 13 of these series. Not only that, but I cast much of my movie, Pacific Rim, from it.”

LOSE :

J.J. Abrams is set to produce another possible show for NBC. This one however, which already has a network commitment to at least produce a pilot, is a bit different. Alfonso Cuaron, the director of Children of Men and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, will co-write and direct the pilot, which sounds like a girl-power blend of Heroes and The Terminator. The show, which is still untitled, is about a girl with special powers that won’t fully blossom for seven years and the man who is broken out of prison to protect her until then.

Rapides reviews de quelques nouvelles sitcoms :

GO ON
Sorte de Community-like sans le méta mais avec le même genre de galerie de seconds rôles caricaturaux. C'est classique mais heureusement, le cast - mené par Matthew Perry - fait passer la pilule. Les deux premiers sont vraiment sympas. Les deux suivants plus faibles.

THE MINDY PROJECT
Mindy Kaling de The Office crée cette série dont elle tient le rôle principal, sorte de Bridget Jones semi-autoréflexif, où elle partage une super alchimie avec Chris Messina (The Newsroom). C'est le genre de série consciente de soi qui peut vite devenir relou (comme les plus mauvais New Girl).

BEN & KATE
Un peu étonné des bons échos autour du pilote relativement basique, un peu trop mainstream, malgré le charme de Dakota Johnson (géniale dans ses micro-rôles de The Social Network, 21 Jump Street et 5 ans de réflexion) et la gamine mimi du dernier Cameron Crowe. Je materai un 2e dans le doute.


Les autres nouvelles sitcoms sont apparemment à chier.
