Eliza Taylor and Marie Avgeropoulos have both landed roles on the pilot, a post-apocalyptic drama about 100 juvenile delinquents that are sent from the remnants of the multi-ringed space stations that are all that left of humanity to the surface of a wildly changed Earth as a test for recolonization. Taylor is set as Clarke ("smarter than she is pretty, but not by much"), their de facto medic who knows the truth behind their mission; while Avgeropoulos is on board as Octavia Black ("strikingly beautiful"), Bellamy's (Bob Morley) illegally born sister. Director Bharat Nalluri and writer Jason Rothenberg are behind the Warner Bros. Television-based hour, which also stars Eli Goree and Henry Ian Cusick.

I think this show needs another known actor other than Henry Ian Cusick to have a real chance..
ReplyDeletei think the show looks really cool, i am really hoping it gets picked up but yeah, I agree with you, another henry ian cusick caliber of actor would help its chances
ReplyDeleteAs long as this one sticks more with the future themes and less with teen melodrama and love angst on primitive earth, I could see this working really well for me.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
ReplyDeleteSame here, I hope it gets picked up!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say henry ian cusick is a high caliber actor other than lost i can't think of an thing decent his has been in.
ReplyDeleteLost alone makes it for me. But I admit I might be biased.
ReplyDelete"smarter than she is pretty, but not by much"...
ReplyDeleteOh dear god. Despite this, I'm still interested.
This pilot is getting more and more intriguing, I really hope it's more Supernatural/Arrow than 90210-ish.
ReplyDeleteI like that they're casting non CW familiar faces....
