Story would work better as a TV series IMO


Unfortunately, it would never fly because America's teenagers are too busy watching Glee, Supernatural, True Blood, and The Vampire Diaries to give anything else a chance.

Does your society have any other adjectives besides "great"?

What the heck is wrong with Supernatural and True Blood? They are the same type of show in the supernatural genre... the people who watch Supernatural and True Blood would be the people who watch this movie as a tv series (I would know, I'm one of them). Supernatural is underrated and barely gets any viewers. The only reason it's still on the air is because it has a loyal fan base. So I don't know why you're comparing it to Glee. They do not have the same audience.

I was thinking the exact same thing in the last 10 minutes, I want to see what number 5 was doing anyway!

Amen Padaleski....Padalecki, huh?, That's how he says it...
Had to quote SPN. I agree totally, I posted something similar. That IS your core audience!

Yes, this could make a tv series. Plenty of on going story to it to build upon.

Pretty much already been made into a TV series. It was called Roswell.

reply

Ah, I agree though. Despite the obvious SPN shading. I think it will "fly" if they used the same cast in the show as they did in this movie.

reply

Pretty much, cinematography and visual effects aside the movie does reek of made-for-TV kind of quality and a few things are pretty rushed, it might've made a decent TV series, or just a mini-series at least.

...SPOON!

No, this could def. work as a show precisely because those teenagers would watch this too. It falls exactly in this category of tv shows.

I like TVD and supernatural and watched the first few seasons of trueblood... that is where the core audience would be... it is in the same genre, however I do agree would be an awesome tv show, then again they may ruin it like they did true blood and the mortal instruments....
