alive she cried Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Adi Shankar To Direct WATCHMEN-Inspired Superhero Drama GODS AND SECRETS For HBO Adi Shankar was behind those terrific 'Bootleg' one-shot films,Power/Rangers and The Punisher: Dirty Laundry. He'll return to the murky world of superheroes next with Gods And Secrets, which is set to air on HBO. Read on for more details... Follow Minty: By Minty - 7/29/2015 Adi Shankar, the producer behind the 'Bootleg Universe' one-shot films Power/Rangers &The Punisher: Dirty Laundry and 2012's Dredd will make his directorial debut with HBO's Gods And Secrets. According to Deadline, Shankar will team up with Stewart Yost to co-direct this dark superhero drama that's said to be inspired by Alan Moore's seminal graphic novel, Watchmen. The drama will feature an original team named 'Guardians Of Justice', and explore the more secretive and shady aspects of celebrity culture by applying it to superheroes. The series is set to star WWE's Diamond Dallas Page, Jackson Rathbone (The Twilight Saga), Kellan Lutz (The Legend Of Hercules), Sharni Vinson (You're Next) and Andy Milonakis. The core premise appears intruiging, while the project's placement on HBO should be enough to pique most people's interest. The cast is admittedly rather uninspiring, but Shankar has impressed in the past with his Bootleg one-shots. Does he have your attention here? Sound off with your thoughts below! Denise Richards & Jane Seymour Join Adi Shankar’s GODS AND SECRETS The "Guardians of Justice" have gained a couple of hot new team members. Denise Richards and Jane Seymour will be joining the likes of Diamond Dallas Page, Jackson Rathbone, and Kellan Lutz in HBO'sWatchmen-inspired superhero drama. More past the jump... Follow Mark: By Mark Cassidy - 7/30/2015 Yesterday we found out that producer Adi Shankar (Dredd, Punisher: Dirty Laundry) would team with Stewart Yost to co-direct a dark new superhero series for HBO titled Gods And Secrets, which is said to be (and very much sounds to be) inspired by Alan Moore's Watchmen. Now The Wrap reports that Denise Richards (Wild Things, Starship Troopers, The World Is Not Enough) and Jane Seymour (Live And Let Die, How I Met Your Mother, Battlestar Galactica) have joined the cast in unspecified roles. Gods And Secrets will focus on the exploits of a superteam known as the "Guardians of Justice", and will explore "the darker ramifications of a world filled with superheroes — for the people they protect and the famous heroes themselves." Former WWE Superstar Diamond Dallas Page, Jackson Rathbone (The Twilight Saga), Kellan Lutz (The Legend Of Hercules), Sharni Vinson (You're Next) and Andy Milonakis will also star, but no character names have yet to be revealed. Here's the two great shorts he's done before. Edited July 30, 2015 by alive she cried Quote
Jumbie Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Diamond Dallas Page has amazing screen presence. Calling him an uninspired choice indicates lack of knowledge of his work. I can totally see him in the part of an aging hero in a drugged out, sex-filled world. That's his life. Quote
