Fox Orders 13 Episodes Of LIE TO ME, The Tim Roth Series About A Human Lie Detector!!
I am – Hercules
Tim Roth (“Reservoir Dogs,” “Pulp Fiction,” “The Incredible Hulk”) is going to star on a Fox TV show.
The netlet ordered 13 episodes. Tuesday morning’s Variety describes the project:
Roth will play Dr. Cal Lightman, a scientist who pioneered the field of deception detection. The doc is a human lie detector, skilled at reading the human face, body and voice to uncover the truth in criminal and private investigations. The fact that the character can apply the same skills to his personal life complicates his relationships. The science in the show is genuine, based on the work of Dr. Paul Ekman.

13 eps of Roth staring intently, then saying "you're lying"?
by newc0253
Maybe he could do variations, to keep it interesting:
"you're not telling me the whole story!"
"you're fabricating!"
"you're dissembling!"
"you're telling porky pies!"
"you're being untruthful!"
etc.,
-
Anyone remember that film with Roth, Zellweger, Rooker, Arquette and Penn where he played the guy who beat the lie detector? Wonder if he'll question himself? I actually really liked that film.
-
Basically, he's going to be playing Christopher Walken in TRUE ROMANCE?
-
Why can't he go to HBO, Showtime, F/X or AMC? Why this shitty network Crime procedural/House Rip-Off? Are they paying so much more? This is the same shit like James Woods in Shark or James Caan in Las Vegas.
-
Now I've always seen Roth as a big screen actor. If he wanted to commit to a series I wish he'd found something more interesting on a network that would support the show, such as FX or even that much maligned (and deserving of the criticism) HBO. Fox will probably cancel it after three shows for "World's Biggest Ass" reality show.
-
Seems to be pretty much exactly the same premise from only a couple of years ago. Failed then, can't say this will wow me either.
-
"Lie to Me" as the theme music. T'would be baddass.
-
as long as he doesn't ape an american accent this could be pretty cool.
-
Tim Roth on American TV? Good. Tim Roth on FOX show? Bad. This should be on FX
-
He deserves it.
-
to prematurely cancel it and kick all your viewers in the junk.
-
and switch out the timeslot to Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire....On the other hand, is this a sea-change for Fox? Seems like they are giving a LOT of actual scripted drama's a chance this fall. Is there new management there, does anyone know?
-
...and you continue to refer to FOX as a "netlet"????
-
Seriously. When has Fox ever been decent to a non-reality, non-sitcom, non-soap series? They'll air it in the wrong order, shuffle it around, pre-empt it for sports, and claim it gets low ratings, then they'll yank it.
-
Excuse me
I'm just working out how to do paragraph breaks here It's embarassing.
I know -
Sounds like it.
-
But with a regular dude instead of a blind guy in red tights.
-
NO DISSASEMBLE!!!!!!
-
This sounds like a cool idea for a show. I'm interested.
