Good book with an unfortunate ending. CBS probably won't change the ending but I wouldn't be mad if they did.

Showtime really didn't "pass"...Showtime is owned by CBS. It was just a decision where to put the show...on Network or Cable.Originally Posted by Geofferson
I wish Showtime didn't pass on this. Will likely watch regardless.

Life Unexpected and The Secret Circle star Britt Robertson has been cast in a drama series for the CW sister network CBS. Robertson has joined Under The Dome, CBS’ 13-episode summer series from Steven Spielberg and Stephen King. Based on King’s bestselling novel, Under The Dome is set in Chester’s Mill, a small New England town suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The town’s inhabitants must deal with surviving the post-apocalyptic conditions while searching for answers to what this barrier is, where it came from and if and when it will go away. Robertson will play Angie, an attractive young waitress and aspiring nurse who’s always dreamed of escaping the town of Chester’s Mill.

Amazon Prime signed a deal to stream the episodes 4 days after they air on TV.

The main leads from the book aren't even cast yet. I doubt they have even shot anything. CBS greenlit the show without a pilot which is kind of rare. I've been reading the book on my kindle in anticipation of the series. I'm about 87% through the book and I've really enjoyed it so far. I'm a huge Brian K. Vaughn fan and I'm interested to see how he adapts it.

Wonder when in the summer this is airing. That would be funny if this aired during the same Breaking Bad's last 8 episodes are airing with Norris on both shows.

Not sure I buy Dean Norris as Big Jim. Can't remember how he was described physically in the book, but I was thinking about an older guy, someone maybe like a Sam Elliot type of guy.

Love the premise of the story, and got through about 300 of it's 1200 pages before I sort of lost track of the book (god, who can read that much if you're not a teenager? I used to read books this big from ages 12-18 but as an adult I just don't have time for it), but I will check this out. I don't have high hopes for this because it seems like network TV is incapable of producing anything of quality. If this were an HBO or Showtime miniseries, I'd be very stoked. Network TV is just so full of awful acting, too-pretty actors with perfect hair and painted-on 5 o'clock shadows), and hacky directing and writing.
