Taking on a role Brendan 'George of the Jungle' Fraser walked away from? Excuse me if I do not jump with joy and enthusiasm.

Apparently, Fraser walked away because of differences in opinion with the director.  What that means is open to speculation, but given his rather limited artistic scope, it might be because the director was asking him to do something that he wasn't capable of doing (acting, for example).

This could be complete hash - if it is, it won't go beyond the pilot.  Seems like most shows don't.  The plot of the book is interesting, though.  It's not just the story of a guy who can pretend to be other people - more the story of how years of pretending to be other people impacts the guy, while he is still using the skills to do his job.
Depending on how they wrote the script, it could be good.
Or not.

Hopefully, they didn't get the author to write the script; the excerpt I read last night was four pages long . . . mostly because there was two pages of long-winded and unnecessary description of everything from the smoke rising above a factory to the outfit the guards were wearing.  People didn't "take off their shoes and socks" and then "put them on again" . . . they took off their shoes and socks and rolled up the legs of their jeans - then they put on their shoes and socks and rolled the legs of their jeans down.
yeesh.  I'm all for creating a mental image, but this guy is over the top!

The story, though, was interesting in the brief bit I saw.  Enough so that I'll get the book and read it through - though I'll probably practice selective editing and skip the long-winded descriptions.

It could be worse. It could have been written by E.L. James.

True Blue Jay but who is going to write the weekly scripts? That can make or break the series.

That made me laugh, lighty.  :mutley:

Is Martin Odum British?  Or will Sean be using an American accent? I assume he may be using a variety of accents if he is pretending to be other people, but I wondered if the character's real accent was British or American.

yeah . . . I'm not a huge fan of Brendan Fraser - though he did have a great six-pack in George of the Jungle.

The character is a former CIA operative, so I assume he's American - but part of the premise (apparently) is that he spent so many years being a deep cover operative that he is not entirely certain who he is now (to me, that's what makes this interesting - it's not just a spy thriller thing).  So I suspect that it will require Sean to shift between a lot of different accents.

This is interesting. Apparently, they are talking to Laura Donnelly about starring as the lead in Fifty Shades of Grey. She played
Violet in Missing with SEAN.  :slyfox

Well, there's a film that's going straight into the crapper. She was really terrible.

True - until the "actress" is required to speak - or even just react to whatever S&M activity they are being subjected to . . . think every parody of a bad porn flick you've ever seen.

Of course they may be making this as a comedy - personally, I think it would be pretty funny to watch all those soccer moms who eagerly devoured that badly written tripe seeing it made "real" on the big screen.  Somehow, I don't think they know what they're in for . . .

As much as I love to see our dear one's bare bottom, I sincerely hope he stays as far from this project as he can get. I like good erotica as much as the next red-blooded healthy woman, but that book was soooooooo horribly written, even worse than the Twilight books.

Brad Pitt in talks to play the lead in Pontius Pilate movie. Can I vote for Sean Bean (also in Troy) as Herod Antipas?

I was given the first one and I really, really tried to make it all the way thru. Huge FAIL!

once again, I must confess.  I read ALL the twilight books and have seen the 1st, 2nd, and 4 part one movies.  Yes, I know, what was I thinking?

I know that was hard to admit, but Harmony, the second step towards recovery is to admit that you have been a Twilight Mom. The first step was discovering that you are a Beanophile. You are two steps along the road to recovery. We promise to help you with every step of your recovery.  :wilco:

Wasn't that a Brad Pitt vehicle when first announced?
