Eight 1-hour parts series written and directed by Alex Garcia Lopez, one of the directors of Misfits and Utopia. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3421685/
| Quote: | 2013 Utopia (TV Series) (3 episodes)
- Episode #1.6 (2013)
- Episode #1.5 (2013)
- Episode #1.4 (2013)
2011 Misfits (TV Series) (3 episodes)
- Episode #3.4 (2011)
- Episode #3.2 (2011)
- Episode #3.1 (2011) ... (as Alex Garcia) |
| Quote: | The show is a neo-noir crime thriller covering two serial killer investigations set in two very stylistically contrasting worlds — the vast and desolate lands of America’s declining mid-West, and the thriving and overpopulated streets of the Far East.
The series is centered around Travis Augustine, an American ex-detective who has travelled to the Far East for a cutting-edge, untested medical procedure to cure his cancer. The theory: trauma manifests itself into illness. The cure: delete the memories associated with the trauma. As Travis recounts the memories from a failed all-consuming 10-year serial killer investigation as part of his treatment, copycat crimes start to take place on the streets of an Asian metropolis, and Travis finds himself pulled back in to the vicious cycle he’s trying to escape. |
The premise is ridiculous (trauma = cancer, delete memory of trauma = cancer dies) but Utopia had an AMAZING look which will hopefully be carried over here and the hypothetical combination of a tight plot running just 8 episodes and an unusual for TV, Asian setting (hopefully shot there?).. perhaps peppered with some Hard Boiled influence of shooting the action and violence with long takes.. certainly makes me very excited!!
The show goes into production next year.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

agreed, the premise sounds pretty idiotic science/magic mumbo jumbo, but it still sounds like it could make for an interesting and enjoyable show. hope i remember it when they finally release it, so i can take a look.

Misfits was pretty idiotic also, but still great. Will watch.
