I don’t normally post trailers for TV shows, but when those shows involve Marvel properties – or truth be told, anything that interests me – post them I shall! Seeing that this is a teaser trailer you can’t necessarily say that how it reflects on the upcoming series, though it looks pretty good.
Though I do see that their vehicles have the S.H.I.E.L.D logo in plain sight…
What do you get when you take quite possibly the strangest take on World War II ever, combined with dinosaurs, dinosaur Nazi-men, Hitler, and model work that would make old school “Doctor Who” look like “Star Wars?
You get “Danger 5,” an Australian export currently spooling on Hulu that refreshingly doesn’t even attempt to explain the insanity, instead it just throws everything, including the kitchen sink, at you.
It’s stupid, dumb, makes absolutely no sense at all, and that’s OK because that’s part of the fun. It’s very much in the vein of “Top Secret,” “Airplane” and the “Police Squad” films.
I should say that I am still not a huge fan of Hulu–I can’t get around the commercials–but if they continue to have bizarre programming like this, I’ll continue to give them a look, despite my misgivings.
According to Deadline, the image to the left is the “Arrow,”(above) from the upcoming CW series. I could just be a bit off-base, but I was expecting a new interpretation of DC’s Green Arrow (below). Instead, it looks like they’re sticking to, essentially, the same costume as the character wore on “Smallville.
Which makes me wonder why, if so much is staying the same, did they bother changing the actor playing the character.
Something tells, if the photo above is any indicator, that they’re going for the dark, brooding demographic.
Glen Mazzara Interview and ‘Walking Dead’ Season 3 News
In my defense, if you’re in the desert and the only potable water you have is a bit murky and smelly, I suspect that you’ll drink deep just the same.
Anyway, The Wrap has an interview with Glen Mazzara, the current show runner, who replaced Frank Darabont. He reveals–in a spoiler-free fashion–some of what he expects of the upcoming third season.
Speaking of which, when are they going to get George Romero to direct an episode or two? It would be so cool to have the spiritual father of all movie zombies at the helm, if only for a little while.
