Which is still the same as ToT. (thumbs u

 

No. Its different.

 

The writer of Clone was hired by NBC years ago to develop television properties for the network. He isn't linked to the network simply because they are interested in Clone.

 

 

He signed a new deal with Universal TV last year - the only project he's done so far for them was Do No Harm which was cancelled after 2 episodes.

 

But he was with them before that.

They kept this guy around for a reason. This is a little different than simply acquiring the rights to produce something at some point at some time in the future.

The story link is dated March 14 2010. If it was a 2 year contract, wouldn't it have expired in 2012?

 

Is there any other stories indicating his deal was renewed after it expired last March?

I turned on the TV the other day and Do No Harm was on. Had no idea what that show was, but I knew it was NBC. I thought, CLONE could be shot like this. Is it good? Not really.. Will it be good to sell the sizzle before the steak. Absolutely.

 

I don't see this show being good at all, but I do see it for next falls line up. Promo pics on busses at SDCC.. etc.

I, too, feel that Clone will become a show but that it will just be another failed attempt after the first season IF it last that long. On the other hand, Todd, has a chance to build a cult following with its dark comedy and merchandising potential. Just IMO.

It's been awhile since I've seen a barn fire. What a sight.

 

 

I think when one starts it looks something like this

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLONE-1-6-ADLARD-VARIANT-HTF-1ST-Printing-KIRKMAN-TV-IMAGE-SHULNER-RYP-/190874028289?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item2c70fa8901

 

in near mint minus. I think all of us should be happy where this is heading.

Clone was always a tv idea according to David Schulner , here is a clip from an interview he did:

 

 

"'Clone' started as an idea for a TV show, but only because I'm a TV writer," Schulner said. "In the process of developing it, my insanely tireless producers, David Engel and David Alpert at Circle of Confusion, said, 'What do you think about making "Clone" a comic? At Skybound, with Robert Kirkman?' I'm such a fan of 'The Walking Dead,' I immediately jumped.

 

"TV is story boot camp," Schulner continued. "The twists and turns before the commercial breaks -- the cliffhanger. I wanted the comic to read like a runaway train, and to do that you need story, a lot of it. I tried very carefully to pick the moments when we could slow down to land the character moments but then ramp back up with more twists and turns.

 

"The challenge for me," Schulner continued, "was the literal turning of the page. There are 22 pages -- that's 22 times someone could put down your comic and walk away. In TV, you have a commercial break six times an episode, and you're working really hard to have a great twist before the commercial so the audience comes back. I tried to do that 22 times, which is insane! But, since I'm such a novice I didn't know of any other way to do it."

A humble man and an informative quote.
