Greetings everyone. At least a couple times a week I take the virtual walk among the blogs, news sites, message boards, etc. that have the latest news in the world of movies, TV shows, books, comics, and other related items. This week as I scrolled through various stories about the announcements of new TV series, such as the planned Supergirl coming to CBS, I found a couple other neat little gems that caught my eye.
Now, as anyone that has not been under a rock for the last few years can tell you, zombies and the undead are big BIG in movies and TV, for instance the popular Walking Dead, which I believe is about to begin it's 5th season. Thus I was not surprised when I heard about the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies movie that is slated for 2015. As for myself, I am not as firmly on the Zombie bandwagon, BUT, it seems that Matt Smith(formally of Doctor Who) has signed on for a role in the film. Ok, NOW I am interested, so I think I'll be digging a little further as time goes on. For those that are interested, there is a little more info here: http://screenrant.com/pride-prejudice-zombies-doctor-who-matt-smith/
Next I stumble across a brief snippet that mentioned an upcoming musical production of Peter Pan that will be Live on NBC. "Wait, did I read that right? A LIVE musical on...NBC?" Now, some of you may have heard of this already, but for me it was news that this is not NBC's first foray into the world of Live musicals Credit points in my book for NBC for doing something a little different and spreading a little culture! But, only vaguely interesting to me at the moment, on to the next...wait...did I see that right?? Christopher Walken as Captain Hook?! That's right boys and girls, Christopher Walken as Captain Hook. NOW they have my attention. I have got to see what he does with this role, which by the way I myself think he will do wonderful in. Here's the website for the venture for those that would like a little more info: http://www.nbc.com/peter-pan-live
Then I move along through another couple of sites and hit the point at which I knew that I have now seen everything. Now, we all know that there are tons of Christmas specials that have been(and continue to be) turned out over time. Everything from classics to movies you have to see to believe that it's real. This one falls somewhere close to the "have to see to believe" category I think. This Christmas Grumpy Cat breaks away from the world of internet memes and jumps into the world of made for TV movies with "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever". That's right, that sour faced cat that has been all over the internet will have a Christmas special.
This makes me wonder, what's next? Maybe the next step is Zombie Christmas movies. Oh wait, I just remembered, we had that back in 1996, "The Munster's Scary Little Christmas"(not nearly as good as it could have been with the original Munsters cast but *shrug*).
So how about it guys and gals? Any predictions on what's next to hit the world of TV movies? Leave any ideas in the comments below.
