NBC Has Posted
The Entire ComicCon Panel For Its Ian McShane Alternate-Universe Drama KINGS!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Kings” is NBC's retelling of The Bible’s David Story, set in a world with skyscrapers and cell phones. (A flashback depicts a soldier named David battling a tank called Goliath.) It’s from writer-producer Michael Green, whose credits include “Smallville,” “Jack & Bobby,” “Everwood” and “Heroes.”
It stars many pretty youngsters and "Deadwood's" Ian McShane (who was promoted for the panel but never showed).
It's currently set to premiere in February.
The whole poorly miked Thursday ComicCon panel, hosted by “Heroes” icon Greg Grunberg:

Interesting how they do that aspect of it.
-
Bible thumpers, start your engines.
-
Some Jewish groups might, but I doubt it.
-
Cant wait..
-
After what they did to Bionic (awful show) and Journeyman (potentially great show), NBC can suck it. I'm not watching even if it does star another lead from another once-great cancelled HBO series.
-
...is really the Bhagavad Gita set in modern-day Beverly Hills. Seriously, this is the stupidest fuckin' idea I've ever heard for a network show.
-
... but Bionic Woman? meh.
-
that's where McShane was, cocksuckers!
-
...feed 'em to fuckin' Wu's pigs...<p> bring back Deadwood...<p> That should cover it...
-
Don't you know Christians aren't welcome here? <p> Halfhearted sarcasm.

mcshane got caught in the traffic jam caused by the accident

and this show wont last past 8 epis, despite the pretty cast...cant wait till the show runner states that he came up with all the storylines himself and has never read the bible
-
because re-making things seems to be the only way to go nowadays and since it was King Solomon who said "There is nothing new under the sun" then fuck it, let's re-make the bible.... <br> that is absolutely the gayest fucking shit brained idea EVER. FUCK YOU NBC......FUCK YOU <br>
-
I missed the fuckin' panel 'cause I had to see to a blood stain on my office floor. There are some things a man must fuckin' take care of himself.
-
The first episode, that is of the 2-hour event, 'The Butterfly Effect': http://tinyurl.com/5lps2p

Is it just me, or have you been making some odd fucking choices since your departure from the Gem? Hot Rod? Death Race? Kung-Fu Fucking Panda (Alright, Kung-Fu Fucking Panda was pretty decent), and now THIS? Seriously - does some hoopleheaded cocksucker have something on you? If so, I'm sure it's nothing a little knife work wouldn't make quick riddance of...
-
and it seems that this was added at the last moment, cuz it isnt on the sched....and please dont rip mcshane for his role choices...not his fault that hollywood is devoid of creativity
-
reasons. If they just showed a preview of it, then there would be more time for a Q&A, and more time to dwell on what went wrong in season 2. Heroes is already on probation with me because they left Kristen Bell off tomorrow's panel. But fear not, folks - Dania Ramirez will be there; Maja, aka Heroes' own Kim Bauer.
-
How about Russell Brand hosting the MTV Video Music Awards? Not the choice I thought they'd have made.
-
Odd fuckin' choices, huh? When the cunts of your whores aren't exactly turnin' a profit and you've got that motherfucking cocksucker Hearst aimin' to flex his muscle... well, sometimes a man is forced to grab ankle and acquaint himself with a less than prideful posture on account of his financial liabilities.
-
If they use Pinsky's Life of David. There's something interesting ideas in that book.

Dexter season 3 promo from Comic Con panel is up on Veidt.com
-
He's the only true link back to the genius of the series. <p>Of course, I'm apt to receive a beating once he cogitates to my feelings of fraternal longing for him. Ah well. Life ain't fuckin' fair.
-
Showtime has released a nearly three-minute preview of Dexter - Season 3. See it at http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2008/07/dexter-better-quality-promo.html. The preview looks fantastic. Dark, taut and funny. So now the big question is: Which show is going to do better in the ratings: Alan Ball's True Blood season 1 on HBO, or Dexter season 3 on Showtime (starring Michael C. Hall from Alan Ball's brilliant HBO series, Six Feet Under)?
-
Just to see what horrible fate awaits Joan Allen at the end.

Knew better than do no more than collect a paycheck on this basura.

Y'know Al, your town really didn't treat Kristen Bell nicely whe
by Pennsy
she dropped in, I have to say. ;)
-
Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst and/or Ryan Seacrest. Maybe one of them, maybe all of 'em. http://tinyurl.com/55w3xt <p> God help us all.

Is like a hamburger without the bun.
-
Remember when comic cons were about comics, and not just glorified sweeps preview junkets?
-
Seriously, is this network even still on the air? Who the fuck watches anything they show? At this point if there's something on NBC that I would watch, it must be a total fluke -- like a tape mistakenly got sent to them from another network.<p>Seriously, this is just another FUCKING BAD IDEA from NBC, the network that MOST needs an across the board house cleaning in the creative departments AND most definitely the executive wing!
-
ended in 2001 with the big mockup for the time machine....7 years later, it only gets worse, with the nadir being that twilight panel...makes me sad and angry at the same time...15 years of attending the con and then pushed out by those who would deride me as being a geek...
-
It surprises me how few people realize the potential of a series, film, play, etc., that draws heavily from one of the greatest and longest enduring sources, or at least examples, of literary archetypes in human history. Any writer or filmmaker who panders to the same blasé trend of "improving" on or "updating" an ancient literary or holy text--that could well stand on its own were an intelligent, serious group of minds put to adapting it--is just perpetuating the faux-art commercial drive supported by major studios and networks that strangles real creativity and interest. That said, this series will be short-lived: if it's any good, which it won't be, no one will watch it, and if it's bad, which it will be, everyone's aversion to the idea will be proven wise.

Interesting.
