Legends: Starring role in series pilot for TNT

Morris Chestnut Joins TNT’s ‘Legends’ As New Regular

Chestnut will play Odum’s rival Antonio “Tony” Cimarro, a quick-witted FBI Deep Cover Operative and a natural-born talent for assuming “legends.”

hmm - I can see where this might be a setup to replace "Martin" - I don't recall the character having a rival in the book (no wife, either, but it probably was a bit dated for TV).

A bit more on this new guy's character from the Hollywood Reporter:

Cimarro has a rivalry with his older and more-experienced colleague, Martin, but the latter is in a league of his own when it comes to undercover work -- something Tony is loathe to admit to himself or others. The character is an ambitious workaholic, a trait he inherited from his Dominican parents, who thrives on putting his skills to use in high-priority and high-risk cases involving national security at the FBI's Department of Covert Operations.

While watching TNT this morning I have seen Legends, coming in summer of 2014, advertised several times.  I think that means the TNT is really behind this series so that is a good thing.

I rarely watch TNT, but it would be fun to see those advertisements.  I'm assuming that Sean is in them.

[najinboulder]

Yes he is, although not a lot of him, but then it was only a 30 second ad.

I find to so hilarious that SBO's twitter keeps being mistaken for Sean's. It says right on SBO's twitter account that it's a fansite. Do they think Sean is running the fansite?

[Sable899]

They know. I've "talked" with a few and they give us shoutouts because we're usually the first to break new Sean material.

[lasue]

That's so TRUE !!!!!!

A bit from Sean about #Legends from after the reading of Richard Old's "Fat Chancer":
 "After the reading we could all queue up to get copies of the book signed and at that point a few people had their photos taken. We didn’t get long at the table as we were all kept moving along. I did manage to ask Sean when he was filming "Legends" and he said not until March. I expressed surprise and I don’t remember his exact words but he intimated that he may have other stuff to do first."

TNT Summer Trailer

The third show in the trailer, Legends, stars Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings, Game of Thrones) and it’s a spy show but with nothing, as far as we can tell, that is currently impossible, so we aren’t covering it except for right here and now – but it has Sean Bean, so it should be pretty great:

Howard Gordon has revealed that his upcoming TNT spy thriller, Legends, starring Sean Bean, will explore the central theme of identity.

I’m so excited about it. It’s an amazing cast — Sean Bean and Ali Larter, then we’ve got Morris Chestnut and Tina Majorino — she’s amazing. She’s so gifted. What I love about it is just the central idea of identity, like, “Who are we?” It’s the question of, “Are we the people we love, the people we know? Are we what we do, or are we our name and our history?” So this is a guy whose job is to be other people, and yet who may not even be who he thinks he is. So it’s a weird, existential… I mean, it really brings to mind Bourne, The Prisoner, Nowhere Man. It takes the question of identity, which is something we can all relate to, like, “Who are we? Are we the people we know? Are we the people who love us and know us?” It has the engine of a really cool thriller.

Legends has received an August 20 premiere date at TNT, which barely qualifies it as a Summer series, considering it'll likely run over into the Fall season, but that's just fine. Those looking for some serious action may find it here, judging by the new trailer.

We´ve already seen this trailer I believe.

It sounds like Sean is in LA and NOT Chicago. If he was at the table read with the other cast members and they
were eating IN-AND-OUT burgers. Well guess what !!! IN-AND-OUT is in LA not Chicago !!!! This would also
explain why he was NOT at the Sheffied United's 125 th Anniversary party !!!!
