New event series WAYWARD PINES will premiere in 2014. Based on the best-selling novel, “Pines,” by Blake Crouch, and brought to life by suspenseful storyteller M. Night Shyamalan (“The Sixth Sense,” “Signs,”), WAYWARD PINES is an intense, mind-bending thriller in which nothing is what it seems. Secret Service agent ETHAN BURKE (Academy Award nominee Matt Dillon, “Crash,” “City of Ghosts”) arrives in the bucolic town of Wayward Pines, ID, on a mission to find two Missing federal agents. But instead of answers, Ethan’s investigation only turns up more questions. Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan further from the life he knew, from the husband and father he was, until he must face the terrifying reality that he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.

Ooh, this actually sounds really interesting. Kinda sounds X-Files-y.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Haven to me
ReplyDeleteOh, that too! A mix of Haven and X-Files.
ReplyDelete"event series"? What is that supposed to mean?
ReplyDeleteI think it means one off mini-series? But god knows.
ReplyDeleteTrying to revive Matt Dillon's career like they did with Bacon and the Following.
ReplyDeleteAnd what do you mean by "one off mini-series"?
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds very intriguing. Count me in on giving it a try. I agree it sounsd a bit like X-Files and Haven, but with jsut a splash of Twin Peaks too.
ReplyDeleteOh sorry I meant like 1 season and that is it.
ReplyDeleteI thought event series meant shortened seasons, instead of the standard 22-episode run.
ReplyDeleteYou could be right, I hate all this jargon that comes with press releases.
ReplyDeleteThere was a TV movie on Fox that I barely remember but about a guy who was a writer who gets stuck in this town and at one point a storm starts to keep him there, this brings to mind whatever the hell that movie was.
ReplyDeleteI read the synopsis until I got to "M. Night Shyamalan"...
ReplyDeletePASS.
Sounds interesting, but then there is the M. Night Shyamalan factor - it'll likely have a massive twist ending that makes no sense. Maybe the pine trees are giving off toxins that force people to... DUN DUN DUN...stay in town forever! :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, I enjoyed Unbreakable for what it was, but like all of his movies you go in knowing there will be some silly massive twist at the end so it is easy to know what that twist is if you pay attention.
ReplyDeleteIf the show is only half as good as the three books it will be outstanding.
ReplyDeleteAny channel can call any show an event series,that does not mean it's a miniseries or that it can't be renewed,just like Stephen King' s Under the dome which started as a 13 Epis miniseries an ensemble up with a second season this July.
