CW Wants To Put La Femme Nikita Back Into Action

By Jason J. Hughes: 2010-01-30 01:23:25
 

The CW Wants To Put La Femme Nikita Back Into ActionTelevision must be looking hard at the long absent -- save 24 -- action drama genre. The CW has just picked up a pilot for another series remake of La Femme Nikita. The original film was a bit of a bomb in France, but it spawned an American film (Point of No Return) and a successful series for USA from 1997-2001. For a time it was the top-rated show on cable.

Joel Surnow was a producer on the original USA series, and he went on to produce 24. Now they're looking to McG, who recently brought FOX the action drama Human Target, as well as many action films, to bring La Femme Nikita back to the small screen. This marks a departure for The CW, which has been made up mostly of supernatural series and teen dramas; or various mixtures of the two.

The story is that of a young female criminal who is trained to be an assassin by a top-secret government agency. For this remake, the original Nikita will have gone rogue, and a new girl will be brought in to replace her. Which actually makes it sound like it could be a direct sequel to the original series, even if they have to change some of the actors.

Fans of the original series were so loyal and faithful that they launched one of the earliest ever internet-based campaigns to save the still successful show from cancellation at the hands of USA executive idiocy. The campaign proved successful and it came back -- a laJericho -- for a shortened eight season fifth season. While this was nearly ten years ago now, it's a safe bet that a good percentage of that fan base will be very interested in a continuation, or reboot, of their beloved franchise.
 

Thanks Andri!

May 1, 2009 New series:

Roy Dupuis © Collaboration 
Guylaine Tremblay and Roy Dupuis will be the stars of the series survived. 

Survivors is a dramatic television series of 13 half-hour each, written by Frédéric Ouellet (Great Bear) and directed by Claude Desrosiers (The ups and downs of Sophie Paquin, Vice caché). It will be broadcast on Radio-Canada in 2010 and 2011. 


Guylaine Tremblay © Collaboration 
Filming of the series begins on 22 June. Guylaine Tremblay plays Monique Boivin, while Roy Dupuis set the character of the Inspector Gerald Boivin, the Montreal police.

We are in July 1964 ... until the family of the Inspector Boivin is mysteriously transported to 2010. Completely lost in a future not so distant, the Boivin only dream of one thing: back in the 60s. To do this, they should meet the man who, for obscure reasons, instigated a trip in time. But family members have a more difficult task: they must challenge their beliefs, their values and identity, in addition to efforts to strengthen linkages, frail now, which once united.

 Louis, 14 ans, est un garçon très intelligent qui vit dans un  orphelinat pour garçons en Abitibi. Son désir le plus cher serait de quitter l’orphelinat en compagnie de sa sœur Némésis, 9 ans, qui vit dans un orphelinat pour jeunes filles. Même s’il n’a jamais été prouvé qu’ils soient frère et sœur, Louis désire néanmoins retrouver la liberté avec Némésis…

Louis, 14, is a very intelligent boy who lives in an orphanage for boys in Abitibi. His most important wish is to leave the orphanage with his 9yr old sister, Némésis, who lives in an orphanage for young girls. Although there’s no proof that they are brother and sister, Louis nevertheless wants to escape with Némésis… 

 

Not sure what role Roy will play.
