Sci-2 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I have high hopes. I recall Warren Ellis hinting at a conspiracy of characters ranging from Dracula to Dr. Franky to Sherlock in Planetary, and it made me think of how cool it would be to have these guys in one setting. Alan Moore of course did something similar with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Showtime Reveals a Second Production Video for Penny DreadfulFollowing the new teaser earlier this week, Showtime has brought online a second production video for "Penny Dreadful" which you can watch below.The video features series creator, writer and executive producer, three-time Oscar nominee John Logan as he walks viewers through the literary works that inspired the upcoming Showtime drama.In "Penny Dreadful," some of literature's most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel Dracula – have become embroiled in Victorian London. The series is a frightening psychosexual thriller created, written and executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) and executive produced by Logan's Desert Wolf Productions, along with Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road), both of Neal Street.

Jaxom 1974 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'm a big fan of Ellis's take on this, as well add LOEG, so this is the kind if thing I'd want to check out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martini Sigil Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Agreed... this looks like it can be fun. I have a little trepidation with Showtime... the channel is hit and miss with me... but better than network for sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Looks promising. I'm a big Sam Mendes fan, and I love me some Eva Green, so I will definitely be checking this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Awesome. So much delicious supernatural gothi-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 didn't realise this was a TV show. Shame it's on showtime as their current record is terrible unless you can live with the fact they can usually produce 2 excellent seasons before milking a concept into mediocrity. That said this concept should have legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 It looks like it could be good but it has Josh Hartnett (?) in it so that's not exactly promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Anybody else watched the first episode? The visuals are fantastic... Other than that I found it dreadfully boring, I'll try it again but my expectations are properly tempered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theda Baratheon Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Seen adverts for this, very excited, didn't realise the first episode had already aired though! Is that just in the US? In the UK it said ''coming soon'' on the advert yesterday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Where did you all watch it? I clicked one link to watch it and it couldn't load up.I just watched it on Directv VOD. I really liked it. It was genuinely creepy and everyone in it was good. It definitely has an Alan Moore feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
