Robinson CrusoeI heard about this on the Geek Syndicate podcast last night.Now - I am not a fan of Robinson Crusoe but, seriously, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING??????? Isn't the whole point of the story that he is ALONE? It sounds so awful I may have to watch it: ""Crusoe" will couch the 1719 novel with a contemporary feel and voice, including a 21st century take on race relations, but it will be a period drama, taking place in the 17th century, when the book is set. "It's part 'MacGyver,' part contemporary morality tale about race and personal discovery, part comedy, and part 'Castaway' meets 'Survivor'," Silverman said. Like the novel, NBC's series will center on Crusoe and his relationship with his loyal servant, Friday. But in addition to their adventures overcoming marauding militias, hungry cannibals, wild cats, starvation and apocalyptic lightning storms described in the book, the series will introduce additional characters and elements, including a MacGyver-like knack of the lead character for making handy tools and devices out of common items. "We're bringing 'Robinson Crusoe' to the 21st century using the original character to create something very real and authentic, but also something new and different," Power founder and CEO Justin Bodle said. ... Also high on it and under serious consideration at the network are the tales of David and Goliath and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," sources said." From The Hollywood Reporter Website |
