Fox Fall 2013: Sleepy Hollow

[keg in kc]

SLEEPY HOLLOW

What if you suddenly woke up from the throes of death 250 years in the future to find the world is on the brink of destruction, caused by unimaginable events, and you are humanity’s last hope? Welcome to SLEEPY HOLLOW, the thrilling new mystery-adventure drama from co-creators/executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (“Star Trek” and “Transformers” franchises, “Fringe”). In this modern-day retelling of Washington Irving’s classic, ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison, “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen”) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Revived alongside Ichabod is the infamous Headless Horseman who is on a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow. Bound to the Headless Horseman by a blood spell cast on the battlefield of the American Revolution, Ichabod quickly realizes that stopping Headless is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider is but the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. As this re-invented Ichabod finds himself in present-day Sleepy Hollow, he discovers a town and a world he no longer recognizes. All that is brutally familiar are Headless and Ichabod’s determination to annihilate this immortal being. It’s a mission he must complete quickly, as Headless already has viciously slain Sheriff AUGUST CORBIN (guest star Clancy Brown, “Cowboys & Aliens,” “Carnivale”). Grey served both as mentor and father figure to Detective ABBIE MILLS (Nicole Beharie, “Shame,” “American Violet”), a young cop whose own supernatural experiences help her form an unlikely bond with Ichabod. But Sleepy Hollow’s head of police, Captain FRANK IRVING (Orlando Jones, “The Chicago 8,” “Drumline”), isn’t buying any of this. In fact, the only person who is on Abbie’s side is Ichabod. His extensive first-hand knowledge of our secret American history, coupled with her superior profiling and modern threat assessment skills, will make them a formidable duo as they work together to triumph over evil. The complex pasts of Ichabod and Abbie, from Ichabod’s inclusion in the powerful and secretive Freemasons Society and the ghostly appearance of his late wife, KATRINA (Katia Winter, “Dexter”), to Abbie’s childhood visions, will help them solve the intricate puzzles of Sleepy Hollow in order to protect its future. As history repeats itself, the oddly-linked pair will draw on the real stories and hallowed secrets this nation was founded on in their quest to stop an increasingly vicious cycle of evil. SLEEPY HOLLOW is from K/O Paper Products in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series is co-created by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Phillip Iscove and Len Wiseman (“Hawaii Five-0,” “Underworld” and “Total Recall”). The series is executive-produced by Kurtzman, Orci, Wiseman and Heather Kadin. Iscove serves as supervising producer. Wiseman directed the pilot.

Let's see, it will either suck, or be amazing and intelligence and as a result get cancelled after six episodes and replaced by Baby Mamas of Detroit.

Reading the description I lean toward suck, watching the trailer, I still lean toward suck but see a possibility for smart and good and cancelled by america's next top sous chef.

@ "you think he can hear us"

I like supernatural crap...and besides....harold (harold & kumar) is in it....I'll check it out at least.
it seems it'd be better as a movie though. how can they keep a series up and running hunting the same bad guy all the time?

[mnchiefsguy]

Preview looks good.....but will it make it past five episodes?

[Deberg_1990]

I give it 4 episodes. Although, headless horseman with machine gun might be my new Avatar.

The concept does seem cool...historical conspiracy and secrets, supernatural powers, time travel...I just do not see it getting huge ratings. I will probably DVR the first four or five episodes, and wait to see if it takes off before investing any time into it.

FOX is the network that cancelled Firefly...bastards.

[whoman69]

I'll be watching. Shows that I have picked to watch from the start don't have a good track record.

Last Resort
New Amsterdam
Do Over

[Bowser]

That they made this show just insults me. Kind of like that modern day Sherlock Holmes show.

Give me something original, for the love of all that is holy.

[Frazod]

I'm going to give it a chance.
