Murder In Manhattan

“Park Avenue widow Blythe Sutton (Annie Potts) is a woman of money, influence and ….an impeccable taste for solving murders. When a friend and fellow blueblood is found dead of an apparent suicide, Blythe knows in every fiber of her being that it was foul play and she’s determined to get to the truth. Enlisting the help of her daughter Lex (Bridget Regan, LEGEND OF THE SEEKER) isn’t going to be easy. According to Lex, just because she and her mother uncovered the truth about the murder of another friend, doesn’t mean they can solve every suspicious death in Manhattan. Blythe doesn’t believe it was just a feluke and she knows that, despite the protestations, Lex loved working with her to solve the crime and is certain they can do it again. The two Sutton women share a strong bond and an active imagination. They will spin, Rashoman-style, their own theories about how the dead woman met her end. Each brings to their sleuthing partnership their own investigative abilities: Lex works in the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit and has a knack for puzzle-solving. It also doesn’t hurt that she is romantically involved with her former childhood friend Jack, a NYC detective, from whom she’ll extract what information she can while also trying to keep her budding relationship a secret from Blythe. And Blythe, well, Blythe can talk to anyone about anything and will do so to uncover the truth. Her dashingly handsome son Bart vows to stay above the family fray: two strong-willed women with a flair for the dramatic are not going to drag him into this. And through it all, when mother and daughter work this closely together to solve a case, they may ultimately realize the biggest puzzle might just be each other. All the clues point to intrigue, humor and fun when this mother and daughter amateur gumshoe team take on MURDER IN MANHATTAN while also solving the complexities of their own relationship in a one hour dramedy from writer Maria Maggenti and produced by Ryan Reynolds and Allan Loeb’s DarkFire Television.”

you know what would be cool? a show about, like, vigilante Victorian prostitutes hunting down Jack the Ripper.

So, there is no Bridget Regan in this episode of ‘Perception’ but in a short moment at the begining. *Cries*

So there are rumblings in the interwebs…

simplesetgo:

about a Justice League movie, now that the Avengers has knocked it out of the park and made a bajillion dollars. Now hold on, you might say, what does this have to do with anything that I remotely care about? Well, Justice League is DC’s answer to Marvel’s Avengers (or the other way around, I cba checking). And who’s a DC Comics character slotted to costar in the eventual Justice League movie, with her very own movie to follow?

YEP. Wonder Woman. If Bridget Regan doesn’t at least get an audition, I will be mad.

In a bit of old but related news, there was a pilot filmed for a Wonder Woman TV show last year. It, uh, didn’t turn out well, which is why you’ve not heard of it unless you track such things. I see this as a good thing—they’ve already messed it up once, so they know what not to do, like hire someone that’s not Bridget.

Bridget Regan: better than you since forever.

Also:

• The Flash and Wonder Woman (Nicolas Winding Refn is expected to be directing) scripts will be spin-offs from the Justice League film that should be released summer 2014/2015, and The Flash will be rewritten to fit around events that will transpire in Justice League.

NWR directing Wonder Woman? I thought Drive was fantastic (on a technical level), and the thought of he and Bridget working together brings nothing but good thoughts.

And now, your friendly neighborhood reality check.
• This is all based on a single anonymous source speaking to a comic book news site.
• If the Justice League movie ends up not being made, the WW movie will likely vanish as well.
• The Justice League movie has a target budget of $270M. That’s awesome, but if it doesn’t make all that back and then some the WW movie probably won’t get made.
• Wonder Woman is slotted for a 2016 release. Much can change in four years.
• The worst for last: it’s inconceivable, but TPTB might pick somebody besides Bridget to play her!

y u make Bridget sad ;_;

Obviously we can’t allow this to happen. If things solidify, show your support in…idk, ways that show support of the casting.

since we’re not gonna get ‘The Frontier’ I will just reblog this again
