zimmer Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hand of God A morally corrupt judge suffers a breakdown and believes that God is speaking directly to him, compelling him onto a path of vigilante justice os Angeles -- Dana Delany had an urge. While playing the take-no-prisoners wife of a law-bending judge in the upcoming Amazon pilot "Hand of God," an indecent inclination by the veteran actress conflicted with the instincts she had developed as a network TV star. Delany, who has logged countless hours on such series as "China Beach" and "Desperate Housewives," wasn't sure what to do. "We just shot this scene where I'm intimidating this preacher played by Julian Morris," recalled Delany in her trailer during a break from filming in downtown Los Angeles. "At the end of the scene, I said, 'Maybe I should just grab his (genitals)?' Everyone said, 'Go for it! Welcome to the Internet, Dana Delany! You can't do that on network television.' " The gutsy drama, about Ron Perlman as a judge who believes God is guiding him after an attack on his family, is among the latest batch of potential series that will be streamed online by Amazon beginning Aug. 28. The Internet retail giant took a cue from Netflix last year and started producing its own shows. Which shows become full series will depend on audience response. Perlman said he was interested in moving right into another TV project after coming off six seasons as the patriarch of a ruthless biker gang on FX's "Sons of Anarchy." To him, "Hand of God" was "too good to be true" because it was the first script he read post-"Anarchy," and the character of Judge Harris Pernell was so different from his previous roles. "I was completely intimidated," said Perlman over a lunch on the set. "The character is this compendium of very, very bold qualities - one of which is that he's in the middle of a breakdown when we meet him. Whoever he is in life, he's deeply compromised during the pilot and going through self-discovery as God comes into his life." Despite the show's subject matter and title, a reference to a fringe religious group led by Morris' smarmy soap star-turned-preacher, the creators of "Hand of God" are quick to note that Amazon isn't moving into faith-based programming. The show's conceit is more about characters grasping for power in the fictional town of San Vicente than it is about religion. "The religion in the show is like the science in 'Breaking Bad,' " said writer-producer Ben Watkins, who previously worked on "Burn Notice." ''It's an important part, but it's just a thread - a great one because there's so many compelling themes to explore. For me, this is more about the contradictions of our lives and our ambivalence toward life in general." "Hand of God" marks the first foray into TV by "Quantum of Solace" and "World War Z" filmmaker Marc Forster, who directed the pilot and serves as an executive producer. He created a visual style for the series that he hopes will be emulated by future directors if "Hand of God" is picked up by Amazon, which will take viewer feedback into consideration when making decisions about its shows. Because there are no commercials or broadcast standards to consider with a show that will be streamed online, Forster noted he was treating the pilot for "Hand of God" like an independent film - with one huge exception. The director who gained acclaim with movies like "Finding Neverland" and "Monster's Ball" isn't planning to tie up every loose end. "In films, you have to resolve everything," said Forster. "This is the complete opposite. You actually don't want to resolve everything. It's interesting to experiment with coming from a storytelling medium where everyone wants to be satisfied. Here, you want to have more questions than answers. It's a totally different approach that I'm enjoying." Just watched the first episode and its got me glued.

Shogun Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) im just about finished waching the Netflix 'from dusk till dawn' series. unless theres some sort of plot twist to come in the last couple of episodes then I really don't get the point of this series at all. its basically a stretched out version of the movie, they have expand a bit on the main characters and added one or two more but basically its just like watching the movie, you know almost everything that's coming. if you haven't seen the movie then this probably gets a 8/10 but that drops to a 2/10 if you have seen the film. shame cause its a solid casting imo. edit to add. couple of folk told me to watch 'orange is the new black'. wasn't what I thought it was gonna be, turned it off pretty quick.

Mr Bond Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Not sure If it's been mentioned already but Gamorrah on Atlantic Is a fantastic series. It's in Italian with Subs but that doesn't detract from the series at all, the fact It's in Italian adds to the atmosphere. The Mafia without the Hollywood. Worth a look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
