I heard Jordana Brewster was on 5-6 pilots' hit lists (incl. Bionic Woman) before she finally selected Mr. & Mrs. Smith.....

I've seen that already. It looks like they're casting people down to the last second. Bad omen or good omen? In the recent interview Michelle Ryan did, she said they were revising the piliot script.

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:

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?

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.

Wait ~ how could she star in this show and BSG? Oh no! I've not seen season 3.0 yet!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! "You finally did it! You blew [her] up!!! Ohhhh Damn you, GOD damn you all to hell!!!"
Second: BSG is shot in BC and it has done well.

Where did you here this?
www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?date=03/16/07&id=7327
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....

If the BW is put in a bad timeslot and the critics hate it, thwe show will not last long. Rumor has it will air after Heroes. If that is true, NBC will promote the hell out of it this summer. They need a strong superher-type to run after Heroes. The question will really be regardless how good or bad BW is, will the Heroes fans stick around to watch it?

Also, somwhere I saw a clip of Michelle acting in comady skit whtih Mr. Bean aka Rowan Atkinson for UK Comedy Relief Special which aired on March 16. Ryan does not have a lot of lines,but she does get punched in the face at the end of the skit! I don't have a link.
Try Using Google, go to groups, type Michelle Ryan. Good luck, it's a funny skit.
