AncalagonTheBlack Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Sony’s PlayStation video game console is the latest digital platform to enter the original programming space. Its first show will be hourlong drama Powers , based on the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming. The series will be produced by PlayStation sibling Sony Pictures TV, where the project had been gestating for awhile and went through several incarnation at FX, including a pilot. Powers for PlayStation represents a brand new take on the source material, penned by Charlie Huston http://www.deadline.com/2014/03/sony-pictures-tv-to-produce-drama-series-powers-for-playstation/ http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304026304579449751926523032?mg=reno64-wsj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I've never read the comic series (why is it suddenly a "graphic novel?") but both police prodedural and superhero stuff now seem a bit old so I can't get very excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm a big fan of Powers, especially the early stuff. But this means what? I need to have a PlayStation to see it? I don't own one and I'm certainly not going to buy one just to see a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own one and I'm certainly not going to buy one just to see a show. It's possible this might be available through Playstation Now, which will be a subscription service available on various devices including smartphones and some smart TVs.

Nox Irradiata Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm not familiar with the comic, but I'll give anything a try that has Admiral Helena Cain in it. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ants Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Looks interesting, but I won't have that service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 First glance makes me unsure if the actress playing Deena has the necessary wildness/attitude for the character, but we only see a few seconds so hopefully she turns out fine.For the rest of it, looks good and I'm surprised they've got such a big cast for such an experimental project (presumably it'll be available on something other than PSN eventually, right?), they've got to cost a bit of money. That's a new look for Eddie Izzard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a new look for Eddie Izzard...No doubt it'll be on primewire and project freeTV about 1 hour after each show airs. But in terms of on regular TV has House of Cards ever played on syndicated TV or has it stayed firmly on Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Sony's first original TV series for PlayStation will be 'Powers'Not really the first actually. I can think of at least one animated show (Xam'd) during PSN's first launch.But whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
