Movies and TV Fox: Wayward Pines

keg in kc · 02-19-2015, 07:03 PM

Coming in May, from M Night Shamalamadingdong. Getting a distinct Twin Peaks vibe. Although I never actually watched Twin Peaks, so what do I know. It does look interesting, though.

Does M. Night Shamwow even have enough money in the bank of public opinion to give this a try at this point? I'm thinking not.

How the hell does this guy even get financed these days?

He reminds people about The Sixth Sense, and they cave. Some of his stuff is ok. I'm pretty easy to entertain as far as movies go though.

Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense were his best imo

So did I but it probably would have worked better as a mini series. Hmm, just did a search and it's only 10 episodes.. that'll probably help.

Sometimes they take these books and try to stretch them out for 20+ episode seasons and you end up with tons of boring filler. Though Under the Dome was short too (if memory serves) and it was pretty poorly done.

the books were a fun read, but yeah, I don't see how this works as anything but a limited series.

Cancelled after 4 episodes

I think this premieres this evening. Early reviews through the first 5 episodes are ok but not great. It's not LOST and delivers apparently starting ep 5 which reviewers got.

It's broadcast TV so adjust expectations down, I'd say.

Enjoyed the first episode. Haven't read the books but might have to check them out. Better than having another gd reality show on the networks.
