Die Berichte vom Pilot Buzz drehen sich oft von Bericht zu Bericht und dann werden Pilots, die Wochenlang als "most buzzed about", "safe bet" bla bla gehandelt werden, nicht bestellt und dann hat man sich ganz umsonst gefreut.
Die Deadline Berichte sind für den derzeitigen Stand (die Upfronts starten schon am 14ten und die Bestellungen gibt es ja meist schon am Wochenende davor. Also schon nächste Woche.) auch noch komplett nichtssagend. Bis auf die Kandidaten, wo man es auch ohne jegliche Insiderkenntnisse prognostizieren kann, läuft da doch alles unter dem Motto: "Morgen wird es regnen - oder auch nicht". :lol:
Sauer wäre ich, wenn diese Serie nicht zu Stande kommt.

Writers Room On Starz Drama ‘Incursion’ To Close, Project Still In Contention
I’ve learned that the informal writers room for Incursion, Starz‘s alien drama project from Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight, has started to ramp down. I hear the decision was made based on the fact that enough scripts had been written for a full series order.
The project, which follows a squad of soldiers caught in a war against a hostile alien race, remains in consideration for a pickup as Starz is evaluating it. Incursion follows Starz’s development model where projects go straight to series, so the network regularly sets up writers rooms to develop a season’s worth of scripts before greenlighting a show. The pay cable network just authorized the launch of a writers room for Ron Moore’s Outlander. “Incursion remains in development at Starz, and we are very much in the Steven DeKnight business,” a rep for Starz said. Incursion, which also has scouted potential locations and done creature creation work, is part of an overall deal DeKnight has with the network.
Vielleicht liegt es nur an der Überschrift, aber zwischen den Zeilen klingt das nicht so, als ob Starz noch so begeistert wäre wie zu Beginn. :?
Wenn es nix taugt, sollte man es natürlich nicht auf Gut Glück auf Sendung prügeln, aber nachdem Starz seit Spartacus nur noch 1-2 Season Flops fabriziert hat, wäre das genau das Projekt, was sie wieder auf die richtige Spur bringen könnte.
Es gab auch mal wieder einen kleinen Newsschnippsel zur unendlichen Dark Tower-Saga. :lol:

When last we heard about Ron Howard's ambitious plans to adapt "The Dark Tower," it wasn't good news. Back in 2011, Universal had scrapped its plan to participate with Howard's Imagine in turning Stephen King's sprawling eight-book series into three films and two seasons of TV. But with Howard's new relationship with Netflix developed during the revival of "Arrested Development," could the website breathe new life into the once-doomed plans?
Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, spoke with Stuff in anticipation of the new season of "AD" and revealed that he and Howard have spoken about the daunting project.
"I spoke to Ron about it, actually," Sarandos admits. "The last time we talked about it, the thing was being kicked around HBO - but it's no longer there. Once 'Arrested Development' gets through, we'll keep talking about it."
