Title: New DS Talk May Not Be BS
Post by: David on November 11, 2003, 04:17:47 PM: According to Variety.com, Curtis & the WB Network are very close to inking a deal for a pilot.

Script may be by a Smallville writer.

Maybe Victoria Winters can be as vapid and one-dimensional as Lana Lang!

Wouldn't be much of a change from the original VW... ;D

Okay, so VW can be even more vapid and one-dimensional--but with a groovy WB sensibility!

The WB screwed up Batman, The Lone Ranger & Tarzan. I doubt ol' Barnabas has much of a chance--if the pilot even goes to series...

Post by: JWGucciEnvy on November 11, 2003, 09:58:56 PM: Yes but The WB has had many hits over the years. That probably wouldnt have a chance in hell on other networks. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Felicity, Dawson's Creek, Angel, 7th Heaven, Everwood, Charmed, and Smallville.

Actually, for a while, I've thought of Patrick Demsey as Barn, or Quentin.....

Post by: David on November 12, 2003, 01:59:42 AM: Tom Welling, Clark on Smallville, is actually 25, the age Barnabas should be.

Frid did a great job in the role, but he was a middle aged man playing a young man.
WB will cast the show with age appropriate
actors.
Maybe Angelique will be what she should be, a Black Island priestess.

In any event, a new DS will revive interest in the original & keep it on the air.
