Remember the movie Push? Don't feel bad. Nobody else does either. However, that hasn't stopped Summit Entertainment from revamping the movie into a television series.
David Hayter, the scriptwriter behind the Watchmen movie and two of the X-Men films, will be writing the pilot episode. The movie starred Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning and was about a group of super-powered individuals who banned together to fight a corrupt government. Kind of like X-Men. Or Heroes. Or Misfits of Science. Or any one of a hundred similar properties.
No network has been attached to the series yet. Hopefully it will get on Fox so it can be canceled within twelve episodes. Even worse, Fox might pair it on Friday nights with the U.S. version of Torchwood, guaranteeing the destruction of both series.
Admittedly, my curiosity is now somewhat piqued. I may go rent the movie. Anybody see it? How was it?...

With a nod to Joe Ahearne’s excellent 2004 series Space Odyssey: Voyage To The Planets, ABC-tv premiered its own solar system grand tour adventure Sunday, August 2. Created by James D. Parriott (Grey’S Anatomy, Dark Skies, Misfits Of Science), Defying Gravity details the exploits of eight astronauts on the spaceship Antares as it makes a six-year trip through the solar system. But as the two-hour pilot episode demonstrated, this mission is far from smooth sailing. A mysterious problem results in a last-minute crew shake-up. Odd glitches occur. And the crew members—some of whom seem unqualified to be on the mission—bring all sorts of emotional baggage with them into space.
This might sound too much like soap opera, but the plot elements are just tantalizing enough to keep viewers hooked. The cast—especially Ron Livingston and Christina Cox—promise to be major players. The production values are excellent. In...
