Failed Ubergal Pilots of Past Few Years....

Never quite got off the ground with these proposed projects/pilots. Anyone know more about these:

1) "Brand X" -- found out about this, of all places, from Muscle and Fitness. Timea Majorova was supposed to "play a flying superwoman". Man, talk about perfect casting!!

2) "Ball and Chain" -- Fox project based on the Image comic book of same name with superpowered wife and husband. Went as far as casting Dan Cortese and Myndi Crist in the title roles, but pilot was not filmed (to best of my knowledge)

3) "Fly Girls" -- on last years developmental slate for UPN which involved two actresses that play superheroines on TV that suddenly become super themselves.

4) "Jen X" -- twenty-something female cyborg; proposed for UPN and written by Duncan Kennedy (Deep Blue Sea)

5) "Bionic Woman" -- supposed remake of the popluar series by "Team Todd Productions (Austin Powers) for USA Network back in 2003-04 ; suddenly just disappeared from the radar.

Such a big hole for someone willing to make a television series with this subject matter! Anyone have any others I might be missing?

Funny.....never been able to find any info on Brand X on the 'net. Was in that one issue that featured Timea Majorova (chest training, go fig!) but they didn't give a lot of details, only that she had auditioned/cast as the "role of a flying superwoman" (going from memory here)

I never heard of brand x. That would have been extremely cool. I also like the idea of the tv actresses getting super powers (one of my favorite fantasies). I also remember reading an interview with Cory Everson, where she said that she was in discussions with Oliver Stone about doing She Hulk. That obviously went no where. I agree with you that it would be great if some cable network would do a super powered heroine. My bet would be the Bionic Woman would have the best chance. Hollywood loves to do remakes. 8)
