Turns out, most of the talent may not be going along for the ride. They’re starting completely from scratch. Is this good news or bad news?

by Jamie Frevele | 9:33 am, February 29th, 2012

With her astounding genre cred, one’s first reaction to hearing that producer Gale Anne Hurd is producing anything is usually joy, excitement, and eager anticipation. Like when we found out she was producing a show about Area 51. And then, you find out that Hurd is going to be producing a show about pirates for FX, and one can barely even contain themselves. And that is exactly what’s happening: following her runaway success as a producer of AMC‘s The Walking Dead, Hurd will lend her talents to a new series about the infamous Jamaican town Port Royal. Heavens to Betsy, imagine all the zombies vs. pirates vs. aliens arguments we’re going to get to have!

FX’s Powers Pilot Is Reshooting, Rebooting Itself

by Jamie Frevele | 12:30 pm, November 18th, 2011

We haven’t heard anything from FX‘s Powers series in a while, and maybe that’s a sign of how well shooting has been going. While FX hasn’t completely ruled out picking it up for series, it is making the comic-based show undergo some major surgery before giving it another chance. However, according to Powers co-creator Brian Michael Bendis, this is not bad news at all. In fact, it shows signs that the network is actually interested in giving the show a chance.

What’s Been Happening With FX’s Powers Show? Casting. That’s What.

by Jamie Frevele | 10:59 am, May 9th, 2011

A while back, we told you that a series based on Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming‘s comic Powers was in the works over at FX. And then … nothing else. But now there’s news! Charles S. Dutton has been cast as Captain Cross, “the head of a homicide police department where detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim investigate crimes involving those with superpowers.” So far, this is the only official casting news, but Kyle Chandler (of the soon-to-be-late Friday Night LIghts) has been in talks to play Christian Walker. That is still rumory at this point.

The pilot was written by Charles H. Eglee (The Walking Dead, Dexter), who will also executive produce. Michael Dinner (who has worked on Sons of Anarchy and Justified) will direct.
