Peter Fonda Joins The REVOLUTION!!
Merrick here...
Peter Fonda has joined the cast of the Sci Fi Channel's REVOLUTION.
Oscar nominee Fonda plays the patriarch grandfather of the Hart family, which has taken over "New America," a planet 50 light years from Earth.
...says THIS ARTICLE at SciFi.com.
The two hour movie/pilot is described by a press release as...
...the sweeping story of 'New America,' a distant colony on an Earth-like planet struggling for its independence from an increasingly hostile homeland.
The pilot is directed by Simon West (CON-AIR, LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER), who is also an Executive Producer on the project.
Fonda has addressed themes like this in the past. One example...

Woot! ... this sounds like an Enterprise episode though.
-
Problem solved.
-
Colony Leader: Damn you, Earth! We're all dying and we're too stupid to realize it's not your fault!
-
but cheaper and more skiffy-ier..
-
Called Earth 2??
-
unlike in Earth2. That never stopped me from watching it though, that chick leader was hot.
-
THE AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE?
-
It's Battlestar Galactica meets Deadwood meets Sex In The City.
-
stop ripping off of historical events! jesus. You know I hope the founding fathers sue for copyright infringement, I really do.
-
And it sucked.
-
A smidgen of Firefly/Serenity.
-
Escape from LA's Peter Fonda is still a name as far as I know...
-
is it run by Halliburton? policed by Blackwater? and the President is George Bush the 3rd? and will it bring freedom and democracy to the "stupid natives who believe in some crazy religion"
-
can we bring back seaquest too?!
-
I'd rather play naked twister with all four golden girls!
-
What ever happened to that movie adaptation of The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress? I'd rather see them give that a go.
-
I've been waiting for that for a while now. Of course, I learned to not hold my breath long ago. It would be great though, wouldn't it?
-
And there's also the Martin Caidin book, "Exit Earth"...this is all malarkey.
Also, the Variety report calls for the "United State of America"? Another Bushism...You can't have a united state, wouldn't then be like the UK, or Germany....not like Canada, with the 10 providences and 3 territories. -
The more hopeless this country and world become, the more a show like this might appeal to me. Granted, coming from Hollywood, they'll end up missing the point and turn this new planet into a socialist paradise or some shit. Although, that might be keeping in tradition with many of the crap sci-fi novels out there. I'm hoping for more of the individualist Firefly vibe.

Not really sure where Simon West directing came from.. (IMDB cough!)
Michael Rymer (BSG Land) is directing.. well was directing.. show has wrapped production.
