Truth.
I was watching TV with my mom the other day and she was laughing at a commercial for this.
ABC Orders Outside-The-Box Shawn Ryan Pilot About A Rogue U.S. Submarine Crew That Uses Its 24 Nuclear Warheads To Form A Tiny New Nation!!
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
From the too brilliant to have a prayer department...
Quote:
It is a thriller set in the near future when the country is very fractured and revolves around the crew of a U.S. nuclear submarine who become hunted after ignoring an order to shoot nuclear missiles. They escape to a NATO listening outpost where they publicly declare themselves to be the world's smallest nuclear nation with 24 nuclear warheads. The show will explore the society the fugitives create, the natives they meet and how what they've done affects the group and its unity.
From the OH FOR ****S SAKE department...
SNL Vet Anne Beatts Pitching BLUES BROTHERS: THE SERIES!!
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
Quote:
Well, here's something that has “uh oh!” written all over it.
A pilot script for a “Blues Brothers” TV series is being shopped around, one scripted by a strange assortment of writers:
1) early SNL writer (and “Square Pegs” creator) Anne Beatts,
2) actor Wayne Catania (“Queer As Folk”),
3) someone named Kieron Lafferty, and
4) John Belushi’s widow, Judith Belushi-Pisano.
Dan Aykroyd, who wrote and starred in both the wonderful 1980 movie and its disturbingly ****ty 1998 sequel, is attached to provide the voice of Jake and Elwood Blues’ parole officer.
The series will follow the boys as they search for Elwood’s biological father. Beatts is reportedly prepared to pitch the project to studios and networks as “Route 66” meets “Glee.”
I do like the comment on that link "Carrie Fisher shot first!"
I love the fact that there is still a living to be made as 'John Belushi's widow'.
