Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Lt.Dan on April 09, 2013, 01:46:58 PM Could be good. BSG had all the trappings of a fuck up too but turned out pretty good (well season 1 - the rest is up for debate).
Not saying will be good. There are a lot of things they could do to stuff it up. Maybe the can pick up where the US Life on Mars cast left off after the abortive wrap up to that series. Maybe cast a bunch of bright young things.

Fuck. Up. Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Surlyboi on April 09, 2013, 04:48:39 PM I agree with Haem.
Shitshow from go. Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: tar on April 09, 2013, 04:58:16 PM Don't really know enough about who's behind it to tell, but I'm gonna say that since it's SyFylitic it's... yeah... not looking good. They'll fuck up Avon for sure.

Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Soln on April 09, 2013, 08:12:46 PM Show only was good....
and they will never do that on a US network. It will be all be someone's in Love, someone was in Love, someone loves God, someone was in Love with God but now they're not sure... interspersed with lots of New Dr.Who emo-style scream acting, space opera violence and CGI. Dreck. Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Setanta on April 09, 2013, 11:49:25 PM Much as I would like to see this work, I can't see it happening.
Cally, Jenna and Gan are do-able. Orac and Zen can be done (Zen being #7). Tarrent and Soolin are doable if they try the arc on Slave. Servelan... might be doable but I doubt it. Travis and Blake... getting into tough territory here - they need to be dark characters. Avon and Vila - I sincerely doubt they pull those characters off - those two and Servelan made the show. Don't fuck with the Liberator design - it was iconic. When they moved to Slave it didn't quite work as well. What's next? Babylon 5?

Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Signe on April 11, 2013, 11:13:16 AM ooooo. Maybe they'll remake The Tripods, too! :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Ironwood on April 11, 2013, 11:47:46 AM Remake it ? They never even fucking finished it !
Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Simond on April 11, 2013, 12:22:05 PM Hey, Russell T. Davies is looking for a job nowadays....
Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Shannow on April 11, 2013, 04:11:36 PM ooooo. Maybe they'll remake The Tripods, too! :awesome_for_real: Nononononono! That shit gave me nightmares for years! Years. Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: palmer_eldritch on April 11, 2013, 05:55:02 PM Yeah the Tripods terrified me too.
I'm looking forward to at least seeing what they do with Blakes 7. Martin Campbell directed Casino Royale so he must have some talent (not that I thought Goldeneye was a bad Bond film personally). Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Johny Cee on April 14, 2013, 12:51:05 PM It's sort of funny that Syfy is remaking Blake's 7 when they already remade Blake's 7 and called it Farscape.
Title: Re: Blake's 7 (remake) Post by: Sir T on April 15, 2013, 03:16:20 AM That's like calling Game of thrones a remake of Spartacus.
Oh yeah... |
