So, Jessica Jones is heading to Netflix!

Kicking things off, who do you want to see play her?

 

[Shakel92]

Let it begin. What direction will the show take?

 

[Shakel92]

Bam....beat me to it

 

[Panther X]

 

[Huddsy]

Mary_Elizabeth Winstead?

 

[Doppelganger]

Mary_Elizabeth Winstead?

That pic isn't working.

Anyway: She seems like a good choice.

 

[Shakel92]

Good choice. It has to be someone who's attractive, but not overly sexy. This will be tough to cast.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I'm a fan of the MEW suggestion.

 

[Ant-manic]

Eliza Dushku?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Well, if Netflix decides to keep things in house, how about Rachel Brosnahan? She's appeared on House of Cards and Orange is the New Black. Very solid actress and smokin' hot in a realistic sort of way.

 

[Six]

Yeah I can definitely see that. Her role in House of Cards is probably going to get bigger next season though

 

[Rowsdower!]

It might, but you never know with that show. I thought Kristin Connolly's character would continue to grow in the second season, but halfway through she was completely written out of the show.

Good point. I also thought that

Kate Mara's role would expand as well

and boy was I wrong.

Haha, yeah me too. Actually,

Spoiler

Kate wouldn't be a bad Jessica Jones. Too bad she's going to be in Craptastic Four.

Tough to say. More than the other shows, this will require a lot of adaptation, since the Avengers only debuted a year or so prior, and the modern super age only a few before that. Its literally impossible for Jessica to be a "child of the super age".

So, the emphasis will probably be more on "super private eye with a traumatic past" than the meta references from the comic. Maybe she was once involved with SHIELD.

 

[metaphysician]

Here's a question: will they use the Purple Man as a villain? Her backstory is tightly tied to the guy, and he's pretty much her archvillain. Its also not even close to family friendly, with the guy basically being a walking abomination.

 

[Six]

I don't see why they would pick Jessica Jones as one of the shows if they didn't intend to adapt her story lines from the comics. None of these characters are really family friendly, which is probably one of the reasons why they're going to be on Netflix rather than ABC.

 

[Hypestyle]

Hopefully a compelling actress. It doesn't have to be a super-known person. Certainly, the budget will be downscale compared to the films, so I doubt they'll get any movie-based A-list actress, unless she just had a baby and lives in the NYC area and wants a steady gig without a bunch of travel responsibility, and figures a shortened-season 'cable' TV show fits the bill.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Allsion Scagliotti

 

[Shakel92]

I wonder if there will be flashbacks like in the comics. Great storytelling.

 

[Gr0oT]

So I can assume that he abused her psychologically, physically and sexually with his mind control powers?

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

This is the character I know the least about, but I do know some of the basics. Either way I'm still excited because I know it is going to be quality edgy stuff we are going to get and I can't wait for that

 

[lozzy.94]

Olivia Wilde?

 

[Silvermoth]

Can't wait for this. I hope it's awesome. They've had enough time to prepare!

 

[Shakel92]

Not sexually, but he forced her to watch him have sex with others and told her to beg for sex, just so he could deny her.
