BRIANMBENDIS ooh, a new edit of the powers pilot. i AM having a fun day. 14 hours ago

*Is jealous now* I wish I could see the new edit of the POWERS pilot... or ANY edit, even!

[Sharinel]

Can't wait until they start doing the press junkets for the pilot

'So Mr Bendis, I understand that this is based on a comic'
'A what now?'
'The press release says it's based on a comic you write monthly'
'Ha Ha, no I'm sure someone would have told me I was supposed to be writing some sort of comic for it, and monthly? Oh Vey!'

While I have not participated in this thread (until now), I've read it on occasion. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned or I just plain missed it, but has there been any word as to when the show is supposed to premiere?

Maybe Wednesday nights at 10? Since I don't see American Horror Story lasting (or I at least I'm hoping it doesn't...just terrible)

From an interview with Alona Tal aka Zora:

TVLINE | What can you say about your FX pilot Powers? Are you part of the regular cast if gets picked up?

Yes, I am. If anybody doesn’t know Powers, look it up because it’s a wonderful comic by Brian Michael Bendis. Powers is basically a cop drama set in a world where people have powers. These people have different levels of powers. … I’m playing one of the very powerful ones. I play Zora. She’s lived for thousands of years. She’s very strong. Very badass. Doesn’t give an eff about anybody. She’s not trying to be liked by anybody. [It's a] very gritty pilot. Jason Patric’s in it. Vinnie Jones is in it. Lucy Punch is in it. We have some really, really, really good people in this pilot, and some really good people behind it.

TVLINE | When do you find out if the show is picked up or not?

I’m hoping to find out very soon. I’m hoping very, very soon. So if everybody can cross their fingers out there for me in the next month… Let’s give it a month. I won’t ask for people to cross their fingers for longer than that.

It's nice to see someone from Hollywood say comics instead of graphic novels for a change.

Wholeheartedly agreed.

Hardly the fault of cast but it would be cool to see Oeming get called out more. The press should be on that.
