Tired of being all about the ‘Bad Robots’, it looks like JJ. Abrams is going to produce a movie about a good robot called Boilerplate. At least I think he’s good.
“Boilerplate”: History’s Mechanical Marvel, is a graphic novel picture book by Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett. It tells the story of the world’s first robot, who fought in historical battles across two centuries, journeyed to the south pole and dabbled in the silent movie business (as one does), before mysteriously disappearing during World War I.
Below the jump is the official trailer for NBC’s Undercoversand 3 sneak peeks. I have to say, these early snippets have me impressed. It’s not going to be another Alias, but it looks it could be fun.
I had been following developments on Undercovers fairly closely in 2009 but for one reason or another it fell off my radar. I’m interested to see what Abrams and company will do with this show – it’s definitely a change from his more recent material. I can’t say that I’m as eager for it to start as I am with other projects involving Bad RobotProductions, but I’ll give it a chance.
Above you can find (what I believe to be) the first official promotional picture for the show featuring both leads, Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
I often wonder where JJ. Abrams finds the time to be involved in so many high profile projects. OK, so he’s not as involved in Lost as he was when it first started, but his active and pending projects include overseeing FOX’s Fringe and launching NBC’s spy-drama Undercovers, not to mention the looming Mission Impossible 4, Star Trek sequel and “Morning Glory” movies. According to the rumour mill, you can now add a movie collaboration with Steven Spielberg to that list.
According to reports, Jin wont be leaving the island any tme soon. But don’t worry, this isn’t a spoiler! Daniel Dae Kim, the actor who plays Jin on the epic island adventure, has be lined up to play a lead role in the CBS remake of Hawaii Five-O – which will be filmed on the main island of Hawaii.
The final season of LOST begins tonight on ABC! What better way to approach the season 6 premiere than with the classic Cuatro promo narrated by Terry O’ Quinn. (I still prefer the original, sounds more enigmatic - but hey, give me John Locke and LOST any day!).
TVGuide have produced a series of “Getting Lost” videos in preparation for the return of our favorite island adventure this coming Tuesday. Check out the first part below, on whether John “Orange Smile” Locke is a Good Guy..or a Bad Guy:
Carter MacIntyre has joined the cast of the JJ. Abrams drama pilot Undercovers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, MacIntyre will play a “CIA agent with a drinking problem who goes “missing” while trailing a Russian arms dealer”.
