Joe Flanigan fights off SPORE

[wraithfodder]

Snerched from http://www.edenfilms.com/, with big thanks to nakedwesley  for posting about this!

Edenfilms is delighted to announce that Joe Flanigan (Stargate Atlantis) has accepted the lead role in the new comdey horror film, S P O R E, shooting commencing Easter 2011
 Starring: Joe Flanigan
 Executive Producer: Stephanie Pettigrew
 Producer: David Burns
 Written by Henry DC Williams & Michael Hall

When a ravenous shape-shifting alien crash lands in the heart of bland British suburbia and proceeds to crash the house warming party of anglophile Bobby and his Blue Peter wife, Sue, it proves there’s more than one way of getting rid of unwanted guests.

This sounds fun. I mean, go to the main website and look at the mock poster. Sheer 50s fun! Glad he's doing something lighthearted as most scifi films end up with gloom and doom these days!

Blue Peter??? what does that mean?
This almost sounds like Men In Black which I really loved.

Blue Peter is a kids TV show here in the UK, famous for making things with sticky back plastic and raising money for charity. They have pets and send their presenters out to learn crazy stuff. It's been around since the year dot and every little kid wants a Blue Peter badge.

OK but I still don't understand its relevance in this new Flanigan film............
I guess I am missing something here.
That poster makes me believe it is not B but much lower on the alphabet rung.
:D

I'm happy. Let's face it. Joe doesn't need to work. he does films if he thinks it'll be fun (TOS) or if its a smaller role (A Good Day For It). I'd rather see him on my screen than nothing at all. And it looks fairly good that "Change of Plans" might get picked up since tbt behind it are willing to pay for time blacks vs ratings.

I also think that "Change of Plans" has good chance be picked up . Want so much for Joe to have regular series :-)

Change Of Plans

[j8731.livejournal.com]

i agree. I also want him to have a regular series.

[black-raven135.livejournal.com]

THAT is something I would love to see in series..............
and I actually believe it might have a chance.......
I just want to see him in series work again......

Change In Plans

I agree. I am a big fan of Joe Flanigan and fooey on MGM and SyFy.

Woohoo!

That '50s poster is hilarious!

I can see Joe really shining in a role like this.

The poster is fantastic. :) Sounds fun

I'll admit, my knee-jerk reaction was "Oh, crap, no!" But keep in mind I watched Evil Dead 2 a few weeks back so my opinion of comedy-horror is a wee bit tainted;) That aside, I'm totally psyched for Joe. Plus I trust his judgment; the man's been way too picky to go for just any old script.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

My hope it that it can have the weird "Shaun of the Dead" type vibe, and yeah, "Evil Dead" was fun.

OMFG. This sounds like exactly the kind of project that would appeal to Joe's twisted mind. I love it! XD

[admiralandrea.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I wonder if this is going to be filmed in the UK?? Sounds like fun!

I that a movie Joe Flanigan made or is going to Make?

[elanthra.livejournal.com]

Sounds like the perfect role for Joe! Most likely isn't going to win him fame and fortune but it'll keep all us fans more than happy thank you :-)

And thx for letting us know about this too!

Great news! The film looks like a load of fun :) Thanks for sharing this!

SPORR

I will watch. Is it coming on SyFy or another channel?

And when is his pilot A Change In Plans coming and what channel so I can watch?

Joe Flanigan

I hope A Change In Plans is going to be picked up for a series and Joe will be in it. Also I hope MGM and Spyglass will soon give green light for SGA and SG1 movies. I am one of the fans who want a Shepperd/Todd pairing. When in 2011 is A Change In Plans coming out and what channel?

Spore

[m3122.livejournal.com]

I am looking forward to Joe's new movie SPORE coming out. I am a Joe Flanigan Fan.

Shepperd/Todd

[m3122.livejournal.com]

I am a Shepperd/Todd fan.

Spores

[m3122.livejournal.com]

I look forward to seeing Spores as well. Is RHI Entertainment doing Sporea as well? Anything with Joe Flanigan in it will we good. If they are not going to do SGA movie or bring back SGA they need to put Joe in another show.

EdenFilms and Spores

I am looking forward to seeing Joe Flanigan's tv movie when it comes out on tv and I hope on SyFy and I hope Edenfilms and RHI Entertainment has him in more movies.
