Can't wait for this! Extant sounds interesting, and if it gets teamed with Under the Dome, it would be great television next summer!
ReplyDeleteI was reading about this the other day and it sounds good.Will watch!
ReplyDeleteI think they might be aiming for that from what i heard from Deadline. Really good fit. I kinda like the plot and actors so far is great (both Gagnon and Berry).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hope they will be. I mean, they are both sci-fi, both Steven Spielberg, both aimed for summer 2014. The signs and clues are lining up.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, he was phenomenal in Looper. I still think the premise is a little bizarre but the casting so far is really great.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! He was terrifying in Looper. Especially the scene where he screamed and it triggered his telekinesis and then the enormous blast. I think everyone's jaw in the theater simultaneously went ":O" during the whole scene. Anyways, this is perfect casting because the kid can act.
