NBC’s 2009-2010 Schedule: What It Means For You
May 19th, 2009
NBC has officially announced their programming schedule for the 2009-2010 television season. They’re hyping their decision to give Jay Leno the 10 p.m. slot five days a week, the 2010 Winter Olympics and “shared time periods” as allowing them to go essentially rerun-free year-round. Chuck has been added to the previously-announced set of renewed shows, and it will share a time slot with Heroes. How will that work? We’ll get new Heroes episodes this fall in a straight run until the Winter Olympics. Following the Olympics, Chuck will run in Heroes‘ slot (8-9 p.m., Mondays). One new show of possible interest to the sci-fi crowd is Day One, a suspiciously Jericho-sounding show about a community trying to survive the aftermath of a “global event that devastates the world’s infrastructure.” Day One debuts in March in the post-Chuck 9-10 p.m., Monday time slot.
Disappearing from NBC’s schedule completely (a.k.a. cancelled) are Kings, Knight Rider and Medium.
Jericho Movie Talk Serious
March 19th, 2009
In January, news broke that a feature film version of Jericho was being developed. Yesterday SCI FI Wire reported that the movie is actively in development, quoting co-executive producer Dan Shotz:
“It’s not just wishful thinking,” Shotz said in an exclusive interview Tuesday at CBS Studios in Studio City, Calif., where he screened the pilot of his new series, Harper’s Island. He added: “We’ve … been developing a feature to hopefully make, because we would love to. I mean, … Jericho is so built in a way, … especially where we left off season two, to create a feature. So our hope is to launch this comic-book series and then, with the development at the same time of the feature, hopefully get that launched as well.”
The comic book series Shotz refers to will be released by Devil’s Due Publishing this fall.
Jericho to Return in Comic Book Form
March 9th, 2009
Jericho, the show that simply will not die, has been reborn as a comic book series from Devil’s Due Publishing. According to this press release from the futon critic, Devil’s Due Publishing and Jericho‘s creators will be working together to continue the story that ended in March of 2008 when the second season of the alternative history drama came to a close. The first issue will be released in the fall.
From the press release:
“Jericho is alive and well, thanks to the amazing fans who’ve driven us to find new and fresh ways to tell the Jericho story,” says Dan Shotz, Co-Executive Producer of Jericho. “Josh Blaylock and the DDP team are great partners and have shown a true love for our show. We are so thrilled about this comic book series and the endless possibilities for the future of Jericho.”
Joining Shotz in developing the comic book will be most of the original creative team including Jon Turteltaub, Carol Barbee, Karim Zreik, and Jon Steinberg.
“I can’t tell you how cool it is for DDP to be able to continue the Jericho story in comic book form,” says DDP President Josh Blaylock. “We plan to give fans the story they’ve been craving. This is going to be epic stuff.”
The official Devil’s Due website can be found here. As of yet there is no mention of its Jericho comic. Fans of Jericho, how excited are you about this news? Sound off in the comments below.
Jericho Feature Film in the Works?
January 15th, 2009
The CBS drama series that refused to die (at least for a while) may get yet another lease on life in the form of a feature film according to iFMagazine.com:
“We’re developing a feature for JERICHO,” says Turteltaub. “It would not require you to have seen the TV show, but it get into life after an event like this on a national scale. It would be the bigger, full on American version of what’s going on beyond the town in Jericho.”
The article isn’t much to go on and being in development certainly doesn’t mean the movie will get made. For those nutty fans of Jericho, though, it’s good news. Still, it’s best not to get too hopeful at this point. Not every beloved television show can be like Firefly and get the big screen treatment (Serenity).
