Hope Stewart's in it by Bass Ackwards	Sep 19th, 2007 11:22:13 AM
I do. Thought this was a Herc article for a sec, guess he's not the only guy here who'll will veer off into cancelled shows by Buffy alum.
Get the name right... by snappy	Sep 19th, 2007 11:41:03 AM
How can you trust Variety when its journos can't even be bothered to check out IMDB and discover Stewart's character was Professor IAN Hood - not Alan. Ashley Jensen, of Extras and Ugly Betty fame, was also in the miniseries as Hood's Special Branch bodyguard. If they remake this, they could just recast Stewart & Jensen & let them practice their American accents.
i've seen two movies called the 11th hour by Jubba	Sep 19th, 2007 12:03:01 PM
i've also played a computer game by that name...and now a tv show? people need to get creative with naming their projects.
This is on DVD. by SkidMarkedUndies	Sep 19th, 2007 12:03:25 PM
Saw it at Hollywood. I'll give it a look now.
TIFF! A new X-Files? by J-Dizzle	Sep 19th, 2007 12:10:39 PM
With Patrick Stewart?? I'm there! That guy always brings the goods.
What, no YouTube clip? by Joey Jojo	Sep 19th, 2007 12:25:00 PM
I thought that was all you did around here Merrick
Great idea... bad execution by grayson76	Sep 19th, 2007 12:27:59 PM
I saw this when they aired it on BBC-America. I love Patrick Stewart, from ST, to X-Men to his stage work (which is incredible). The show was bad. Badly written, badly executed. The acting was as good as could be done with crap cliched writing. And it wasn't a mini-series. It was a cancelled series due to ratings.
Great show. More Science-fact than fiction. by Sequitur	Sep 19th, 2007 12:44:31 PM
It would take potenially science-fiction-esque stories and explain them realistically. No aliens, mystical creatures...etc. To sound like a Hollywood producer: "It's X-files meets House"
I'm down for it.... Also, I hate doing this, but by Novaman5000	Sep 19th, 2007 01:18:48 PM
Where's the 24 talkback about how they're bringing TONY back from the DEAD? Cuz they are, and I can't decide if it's a good move or the stupidest plot development yet.
Did the original have explosions and car crashes? by Cruel_Kingdom	Sep 19th, 2007 01:22:21 PM
With Bruckheimer on this, the new one will for sure.
Americanized Version... by Abin Sur	Sep 19th, 2007 01:24:13 PM
With Bruckheimer? It'll be CSI: Blighty and star the plumber from Desperate Housewives.
didn't this bomb in the UK? by newc0253	Sep 19th, 2007 01:42:41 PM
i think it was on ITV, which explains why - despite the presence of Patrick Stewart - nobody with detectable neural activity would have been caught dead watching it.
It will be ruined. by wowsah156	Sep 19th, 2007 01:45:06 PM
The eleventh hour was a satire about how monstrous science had become and what it was doing to humanity. I found it to be a good tribute to the old Quatermass series. Just the idea that someone like Bruckheimer who made his money from 90 minute pyrotechnic cumshots, is going to be involved in something this subtle suggest that the stories will suffer for Shampo advert CGI masturbation.
Gah! Why are they bidding... by DrDerekDrs	Sep 19th, 2007 02:52:41 PM
...on this shitty lump of shit? Even a great thesp like Patrick Stewart couldn't save this dull turkey. Worst home-grown sci-fi of last year.
Still hoping for STRANGE WORLD DVDs... by Roguewriter	Sep 19th, 2007 02:54:25 PM
There were a couple truly memorable episodes, and lead actor Tim Guinee was marvelous. Kristen Lehmann was also memorable, and the show certainly raised her profile enough to get cast in a lot of things since. Guinee hasn't been so lucky, alas (I blame lookalike Martin Henderson for taking all his roles!). Anyway, we'll give this one a whirl, based on the STRANGE WORLD reference alone!
ONLY if they make a prequel called "The 7th Guest!" by Cletus Van Damme	Sep 19th, 2007 08:05:45 PM
Where my old school IBM 486 gamers at?
