Pilots Given the Green Light

Oxygen - a story about a teenage girl who falls for a boy, who happens to be an alien.  Before you say "Roswell!!"  this time it seems the aliens might be known to Earth and this is the earliest stage of integration into society.  CW has ordered this pilot which is created by Meredith Averill (The Good Wife and Life on Mars - the American version).

The Hundred - another post apocalyptic tale about 100 juvenile delinquents given the task in repopulating the long abandoned Earth. Wow, there are certainly a lot of post apocalyptic movies and TV shows going around these days.  This is another CW pilot.

Believe - A Bad Robot project with writer and director Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men) that follows a young girl who will develop superpowers over a seven year period and an ex prisoner who is set to protect her from a group trying to hunt her down. This is an NBC project.

Untitled Pilot about android cops in L.A. - Bad Robot is working on another pilot about the L.A. Police Force teaming up with androids.  Sounds like this idea is along the lines of this series -




Well, maybe not......

'Gravity:' Possible synopsis with spoilers

A decade after "Solaris," George Clooney is returning to space.

Lost in space, indeed.

 

Mike Sampson of JoBlo has published what he says is the "official synopsis" of the upcoming George Clooney and Sandra Bullock movie "Gravity."

 

The movie is being shot in 3D under the direction of Alfonso Cuaron, who helmed the terrific "Children of Men." Even more ambitious are reports that the film is being shot (or will be presented) in one take.

George Clooney weighs in on 'Gravity'

George Clooney previously ventured into space drama for "Solaris."

George Clooney, recently seen smartly dressed and campaigning for president in "The Ides of March," is donning a different suit for his next project, "Gravity."

Clooney told USA Today:

"‘Gravity’ is about two astronauts who work on a space station. A satellite blows up, and space junk causes damage. We go out in space suits, and she and I are tethered together, floating through space. It’s a two-hander with only two actors in the whole film. It is a very odd film, really. Two people in space. No monsters. It’s more like ’2001′ than an action film.”

The "she" in that quote is Sandra Bullock.
