ABC has ordered some more pilots for possible placement on their Fall 2013 schedule, though we know that S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to be their top choice, right?
Anyhow… here’s what new pilots were picked up for today:
Big Thunder: A drama based on the Disneyland Big Thunder Mountain ride. No, not kidding. THR describes the pilot as being about “a brilliant, late 19th century New York doctor and his family who are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to relocate to a frontier mining town run by a powerful, but mysterious tycoon, they quickly realize that not everything in Big Thunder is as it seems.”
Gothica: “A sexy gothic soap set in present day that weaves together a mythology that incorporates the legends of Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein and Dorian Gray, among others.” Didn’t Dark Shadows do that 45 years ago?
Murder In Manhattan: A mother and daughter team up to solve crimes as amateur sleuths. Sounds like Murder She Wrote meets Veronica Mars. What is Kristen Bell up to these days, anyway? Either way, this could be good like Castle if cast well.
Reckless: THR says this one is about “a problem solver, David, who desperately pursues every legal option to secure his wife’s release when she is unjustly imprisoned during a political uprising overseas. But when he’s stymied by the U.S. government in the name of diplomacy, David is forced to consider less-than-legal options — entering a world of political intrigue, dangerous alliances and high emotional stakes.”
Do any of these sound interesting to you? Leave some comments below!
