Can't we just have the "chicks in bikinis" show? How about "AquaCheerleaders"!!

Sounds sort of interesting.
I am willing to give it a chance.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I'm looking foward to this. Granted I'm not an Aquaman fan or anything, but I would like to see what they do with the character. Could be cool if they do it right. And you can never have too many chicks in bikinis. Never.

Who is? -wink-

What's next, a guest appearance by Swamp Thing? Haven't heard from that failed concept in a few years.

They tried that a couple of years ago with Tarzan and nobody watched.

Let's not forget to cast David Ogden Stiers as J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter.

Now there's brilliant casting for you...

Interesting casting news:

http://images.zap2it.com/20050225/vi...ak_240_002.jpg

The last time Ving Rhames was a regular on network television, it was in a 1989 ABC drama called "Men." You'd be forgiven if you don't recall it -- it lasted only a month.

Rhames is considerably more well-known now, thanks to "Pulp Fiction" and the "Mission: Impossible" movies, among numerous other credits. He's also giving network TV another go, signing on to the "Aquaman" pilot at new network The CW.

The pilot, which has moved to The CW after originally being developed for The WB, will have Rhames playing a character named McCaffery, the showbiz trade papers report. He's a lighthouse keeper and a mentor to A.C. Curry (Will Toale), a twentysomething starting to discover his legacy.

Former Miss Universe Denise Quinones ("Freddie") has also joined the cast, playing a Navy pilot and potential love interest for the main character. Quinones has also guested on "Smallville," whose creators, Al Gough and Miles Millar, are also behind the Aquaman project (the title may change).

Rhames starred in USA's "Kojak" revival last year and also had a recurring role on "ER" in its first few seasons. His movie credits also include "Out of Sight," "Dawn of the Dead" and "Con Air"; he'll reprise his role as Luther Stickell in "Mission Impossible"

Don't you mean a "Buffy" ripoff?

Lame idea IMO. Love how Entourage has started this big Aquaman revival.

And Mandy Moore.

Here's some bad news about casting. Let's hope she picks up a few acting lessons before they shoot the pilot.

Denise Quiñones Joins Mercy Reef As "Rachel"

Denise Quiñones, who was recently seen in the Smallville episode "Vengeance" as Andrea, the "Avenging Angel," will be hanging out with another future superhero soon as she has been cast in the role of Rachel, a young woman who is a potential love interest for the A.C. character.

Quiñones was crowned Miss Universe in 2001 after being named Miss Puerto Rico the same year. Denise was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico on September 9, 1980. She will also soon be seen on the WB's series The Bedford Diaries.

"Mercy Reef" :hscratch:

Are you fucking kidding me? I know the title is comic-source material related, but when you put teen actors in the mix.... it sound like a damn horror flick with with a giant shark. :lol:

"Stay tuned for a fresh episode of Mercy Reef" ...doesn't really work for me.

My question is, will Aquaman(boy) be swimming with sea horses and other assorted fish?
How long until there's a crossover episode??

This kind of slur is offensive and should not be posted at DVD Talk.

Thanks.

More casting news... a new Aquaman!



MOONVES MAKING WAVES: The CW network's Smallville spin-off — dubbed Mercy Reef by some unofficial accounts — has reeled in a new leading man: Soap hunk Justin Hartley (Passions) has been tapped to replace Will Toale as A.C. Curry/Aquaman. "We have made the decision to go in a different direction with the role," a CW spokesperson says in making the announcement. Sources tell the Hollywood Reporter that CBS Corp. president and CEO Leslie Moonves was a major catalyst behind the recast. As reported yesterday, the spin-off costars Ving Rhames as McCaffery, A.C.'s mentor, as well as Denise Quiñones as Rachel Starling.

riley_dude 02-22-06 02:29 PM

Hmm. Wonder what happened?
