Bionic Woman Spoilers

In this interview she pretty much confirms it without actually saying anything (she did say NBC, "major" and it was sci-fi. Interestingly, she said she read for the title character a couple of times.

With Eick at the helm and his BSG ties and her "death" on the show recently, would seem logical that its a very good posibility. From what little I've read about Sara's character and her scenes, I think she'd make a pretty good psycho Robochick.....

Here is the interview....she talks about the "pilot" about 3:20 into it:

On the Katee Sackoff Fans website, it says Katee Sackoff has beeen cast as Sara for the Bionic Woman. Must meen Sarah Corvous. I heard she was trying out for an NBC piliot.

Let's call it official then!! Thx for the info AJF!!!

ElF (cautiously excited at the prospects)

Her wikipedia page says she has won the role of Sarah for BW.

Another one down....

Molly Price ("Third Watch") has joined the cast of the drama pilot, a re-imagining of the 1970s series of the same name. She'll play Ruth Treadwell, who's described in the casting notice as follows: "50s, tough, very smart with a "don't mess with me" vibe. She's head of intel and logistics for Jonas. She explains to Jaime that her bionic surgery also endowed Jaime with built-in programming for split-second reflexes and combat training, and advises Jaime to stop thinking and just be. Because she's respectful, reassuring and straightforward, we get the feeling we can trust Ruth."

I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade, but the still need to cast three more series regular roles. Production is set to start on March 19. I'm skeptical of them meeting thst date. Is that part of Sarah just for the pilliot or is she ment to b a recurring role series regular?

Where did you here this?

Production is set to start this coming Monday. Does anybody here see any bad sign that BW will be a failure if it's picked up? I'm not into supersition, but I think that shooting the show ( that's if they don't move production elsewhere if the show is picked up) in Vancouver is a bad sign. Now, I'm not against Hollywood going overseas to save a buck, I believe in free markets. Notice right now that alomost all the Hollywood produced shows right now shot in Canada are for cable,n ot the networks. The only ones being being shot up there right now for a regular network are Supernatural and Smallville and they're both for CW. ABC's Men In Trees was shooting in BC, but due to low rating won't likley return in the fall. What I'm trying to say is, big network shows shot north of the border tend to be, at least in recent years commercial and critical faliures. Bad luck or poorly produced shows?

Dunno of the correlation of failed series with Vancouver. I think each should be weighed on its own merits. Mostly I think comes down to cost as for the reason to shoot in Canada which I would imagine is cheaper which allows for

a) tight budgets
b) more allocation of production $$$ for SFX
c) both

I don't think its coicdence that effect heavy shows like Supernatural Smallvile and BSG are in Vancouver. Might free up more $$$ for FX. As for Men in Trees, I think scenery coulda been driving point as much of the show is shot outdoors.

Another reason for shooting in Canada could be Eick's familiarity with it due to BSG. Could be a positive. As for the stigma of Vancouver-filmed shows, I cannot say as its only been fairly recent that there has been a big push to shoot there. Wasn't X-Files filmed in Vancouver? I think that was a success....

Another bad sign that BW won't last is lack of possitive buzz on the net about it. A lot of people treat the idea of a new BW series as a joke. On this forum is the only place where people seem excited about the show.

I think a good amount of bad postings are somewhat due to that cryptic description of the show when it was first announced. "metaphor and social commentary on todays working woman" or something like that? Whiskey...Tango...Foxtrot!! I mean several of the boards I read people don't even know of the parallels to the old show which it looks like they've (smartly) gone back to. If its written well and placed in a good time slot, it'll do well. Time will tell....

OK, they's all set it looks like:

"THE BIONIC WOMAN (NBC) - Miguel Ferrer ("Crossing Jordan") and Chris Bowers ("Rescue Me") have landed the final principal roles on the drama pilot, a re-imagination of the 1970s series of the same name. Bowers will play Dr. Eric Masters, who's described in the casting notice as follows: "Early-Mid 30's, good-looking, sexy, likeable and devoted. He is Jaime's supportive boyfriend of two months who already knows she is the one. As a young prodigy (finished college at age 15 and became a surgeon at 22) he's a genius in his field - bionics - and the only one capable of performing the illegal, complex surgeries the government has been experimenting with. When Jaime nearly dies in a car accident, Eric doesn't hesitate using bionic surgery on her, even though this means going against his superiors and breaking every rule in the book. His innovative behavior and past deeds make him a target of deadly Sarah Corvus."

Ferrer then is set as Jonas Bledsoe - "50s-60's, forceful and not above lying to get what he wants. He is the ruthless leader of the secret government agency that turned Jaime into a Bionic Woman. Though furious with Eric for wasting $50 million worth of classified, illegal technology on "some girl," Jonas decides to use Jaime to track down and retrieve the other Bionic creations who escaped. Topping his list of fugitives is insane, deadly Sarah Corvus, whose violent break-out and subsequent revenge streak haunts Jonas to this day. After using unscrupulous means to manipulate Jaime into joining his organization, Jonas agrees to her terms and we get the feeling he will treat her with respect and honesty from now on." Ferrer's involvement is in second position to his "Jordan" duties however it's understood he could play both roles concurrently."

Looks like the pilot filming start also got pushed back to March 26th, so looks like everything is set to roll.

As for the casting, dunno about Bowers' body of work, having never seen him that I can recall, but Miguel Ferrer (Point of No Return, The Stand) seems like the manipulating head honcho like Bledsoe is described as.
