Man, am I ever glad that Noah Wyle’s “Falling Skies” is on TNT. This is the kind of genre show that I just KNOW I’m going to love, and to have it appear on a network like Fox, or ABC, or NBC would have just doomed it to a struggling first year. On TNT, meanwhile, it’ll get EVERY CHANCE to grow and succeed. Man, I’m glad it’s on TNT! Anyways, here’s a new TV spot for the show via Vulture.
It’s the same trailer you saw previously for the Noah Wylie-fronted TNT series “Falling Skies”, but the quality is most definitely better. The show itself makes its long-awaited premiere June 2011 on the TNT cable network. Be there or get invaded by aliens and probed. You’ve been warned!
You’ve seen the pictures, now here’s the first trailer for TNT’s new sci-fi series “Falling Skies”, which stars Noah Wylie of “ER” fame as a college professor turned resistance leader who takes to the hills to escape the invading alien horde. The trailer isn’t exactly great stuff in terms of quality video, but hey, seeing as how this show has been hidden away by TNT for what seems like forever, it’s something.
Check out a new batch of images from TNT’s upcoming alien invasion TV show “Falling Skies” (formerly “Fallen Skies”, according to a new press release announcing the show’s Comic Con appearance). For a show with Noah Wyle in the lead and Steven Spielberg producing, it’s surprising that “Skies” hasn’t really gotten all that much press. That might change when the show makes its Comic Con debut, though.
That untitled Steven Spielberg post-apocalyptic TV show about alien invaders starring Noah Wylie, and scheduled to run on TNT? It now has a name: “Fallen Skies”, and it’s set to debut on the basic cable net in 2011.
For those of you neurally challenged this morning, let me assist. Steven Spielberg has this thing for aliens and he thought it was a good idea to make a series, soon to begin a whopping pre-authorized 10 episode run on TNT, where Noah Wyle (E.R.) and Moon Bloodgood (Goddess, Terminator) pack up, head to the hills and try to survive an alien invasion. We have the first live picture from the show, illustrating Noah’s steely eyed determination not to let Moon fall into the evil clutches of those bodice ripping, tentacled, bug eyed bastards!
Steven Spielberg’s big alien smack-down pilot for TNT has had a few new cast members sign up recently. Joining Noah Wyle are Moon Bloodgood, Jessy Schram, Seychelle Gabriel and Maxim Knight. The pilot is being written by Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan) and will be about a group of folks led by Wyle that fight to survive after vicious aliens again pound poor old humanity into paste . In the pilot, Moon will play a therapist who helps children deal with the fact there is no hope and that soon everyone will die. Wyle will play the leader and probably Moon’s main squeeze.
It was reported earlier this month that former ER doc Noah Wyle was this close to signing on to star in a new TNT sci-fi show about the aftermath of an alien invasion that will be produced by Steven Spielberg, who knows a thing or two about aliens, I’m told. Now it’s official: Wyle has indeed signed on to front the new TV show, which is still untitled as of this article.
TNT has ordered a Sci-Fi pilot to be produced by Mr. Spielberg and written by Saving Private Ryan’s academy award nominated Robert Rodat. According to Entertainment Weekly, Noah Wyle is in talks to star in the story of a group of folks that must fight for their survival 6 months after the aliens come and give us the cosmic beatdown. Wyle is a likable guy but does he have the steel to go up against evil alien invaders? We will see. Thanks EW.
It looks like Steven Spielberg is going to be giving us more aliens. On TV this time around though.
