Syfy has ordered 12 episodes of a 12 Monkeys TV show, but it won’t just be the Terry Gilliam film stretched out over that many hours, reports Film Divider.
The site has reported on some of the pretty major changes that will mark Syfy’s new series as distinctly different. First of all, our time-traveling hero (played by Bruce Willis in the film and here by Aaron Stanford), is just an investigator, and doesn’t seem to have any personal baggage attached to returning to the past:

Our time travelling hero… doesn’t remember witnessing the death of a man, and any flashes or memories that he’s shown experiencing are simply of scenes from his undefined ‘home time’ in the future.

Cole’s responsibilities also seems to be bigger on the small screen. Instead of just being asked to get a sample of the original virus so maybe future scientists can create a cure, on the TV show he’s tasked with completely changing the future altogether:

He isn’t here to investigate, he’s here to change the future. And in a nice little twist, that echoes and will perhaps the film’s dreams of death, it’s established that if Cole does change the future and save the world, he’ll cease to exist.

Not only that, but he himself, with all his moving back and forth over time, may end up being part of the virus being created and spread in the first place:

…may be instrumental in creating the virus, with some help from a bacteria that he discovers in Cole’s blood. In this version, we’re being led to believe, Cole could actually be responsible for the outbreak by the virus of going back to try and stop it.

The hourlong horror-drama would bring hockey mask-wearing slasher Jason Vorhees back into pop culture after terrorizing audiences in a dozen films spread over 29 years and inspiring decades of simple Halloween costumes. Bill Basso (The Terminator) and Jordu Schell (Avatar) are writing the script, which will be set across multiple time periods but focus on Jason's former killing grounds, Camp Crystal Lake, and the residents who deal with Jason's return in present day.

This will fail, simply because there are too many shows to choose from, not to mention the task of making the show good to begin with. Horror shows tend to not do that well. For a movie, Jason is perfect for a slasher flick. Don't have to develop characters for a movie. Don't have to have any real storyline for a slasher movie. Just have to set up the purpose of the characters being in the situation where they are in danger. Movies like the Friday the 13th movies do that in 20 minutes, tops. Then it's an hour or so of Jason terrorizing. It's good fun.

For a show...how are they going to do this? Have a FULL SEASON of character building, running, screaming, hiding, sex, and bad ideas that lead to demise?


Yeah, this show is gonna fail pretty hard.

The former "Walking Dead" showrunner will pen the script for "Damien" via his overall deal with Fox Television Studios.

The former Walking Dead showrunner is developing a follow-up to the 1976 horror classic for Lifetime, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Titled Damien, the drama centers on the film's young boy Damien Thorn. Now an adult and haunted by his past, Damien is faced with a series of macabre events and must finally face his true destiny: he is the Antichrist.

Damien marks Mazzara's first TV gig following his season-and-a-half run on The Walking Dead, where he helped propel the zombie drama to then-record ratings. The Lifetime gig also marks his latest movie-to-TV adaptation, joining Starz's Crash follow-up. On the big-screen, Mazzara is writing Overlook Hotel, a prequel to Stephen King's horror classic, The Shining.

 

 

when will it stop?

The key is finding the right tone for the show. Hannibal is about as perfect as you can get. I didn't think anybody would be able to 'become' Hannibal after Anthony Hopkins. but Mads is making me forget all about Tony...

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
