Fox orders pilot for Lucifer

Fox has officially ordered a pilot commitment based on Lucifer, a character in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comics. The character is based on the fallen angel, Lucifer, and he did later spawn into his own comic series.

Total Recall director Len Wiseman is on board to direct and Jerry Bruckheimer is producing. Reports so far insist that the show will focus on the ruler of Hell as he becomes bored of his post and resigns his position. He rises into Los Angeles where he assists the LAPD in capturing and torturing criminals. Lucifer will join a lineup of two more similar adaptations (Sleepy Hollow and Gotham).

And it looks a lot like The Dark Knight Rises posters. I am disappoint.

Familiar or not, this image does tease Superman's arrival in Gotham. The bleak surroundings kind of give it away. It leaves the curiosity of whether the next poster will be Batman in Metropolis.

Fox sets Gotham for Mondays; shifts schedule for new shows

Fox has shifted their television schedule a bit to fit in the new Batman origins series, Gotham, as well as a new comedy series titled Mulaney.

Gotham will be joining Sleepy Hollow on Monday nights beginning at 8pm. This put two rather dark-genre shows together in the same night. Gotham will air before Sleepy Hollow and each will last one hour.

Several other new shows including Mulaney, Utopia, Red Band Society, and Gracepoint have caused schedule shifts:

• The Andy Samberg comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been moved to Sunday along with The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, and American Dad. Mulaney has also been given a Sunday slot after Family Guy.
• The Gordon Ramsay cooking show, Hell's Kitchen, has been shifted from Thursdays to Wednesdays and is now paired with Red Band Society.
• Utopia apparently will be airing twice a week. It has been paired with New Girl and The Mindy Project on Tuesdays and with the new installment of Masterchef on Fridays.
• Gracepoint will debut alongside Bones on Thursdays.

Personally, I don't take television schedules like this very seriously for the sheer fact that the average lifespan of a show these days seems to be 1-2 seasons. If a show is lucky it will get a third season before being axed. Out of the new shows I think the most popular bet is Gotham because of the superhero craze, but it depends on how good it is. The trailer looked pretty lousy so I'm not counting on it.

Fox releases trailer for Gotham

I know I am a little behind on this one, but I just got around to watching the trailer for Gotham. I must say despite having some initial excitement for this show it looks pretty terrible.




I don't know why they decided to reveal just about every single character in the trailer as well. It leaves no room for people to be surprised when they show up. Not to mention they've already announced that the show will feature The Joker.

smh.

Gotham television series picked up by Fox

Fox has picked up a television series titled Gotham which is set to focus on the origins of police Commissioner James Gordon from the Batman/DC Universe. This comes after Fox acquired television rights from Warner Bros.. Not to mention right after ABC premiered Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tonight.

Gotham will be a full series commitment for Fox. It is notable to mention how odd it is that Gotham will appear on Fox instead of The CW which has aired several DC properties in the past, specifically the Superman origins series Smallville. The network has also been airing Arrow and will shortly be airing a series on The Flash.


Either way, this will prove to be interesting. I'm wondering who will be cast as Gordon.
