It replaces hellfire and is suspose to be co-production between fox and marvel

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, I'm sure the agreement states that any X shows will be a co-production. Not surprised to hear that Hellfire got pushed to the side. I like the concept behind this much more than Hellfire. And I like Matt Nix behind it. Should be interesting to see how it turns out.

 

[NotNickFury]

I'm interested. As long as "Legion" is still going forward, I'm good. Though this collaboration will probably just add to the speculative folks who feel that Fox and Marvel Studios are going to collaborate with a property like the Fantastic Four. How you connect A to B, I'm not sure, but it gets people talking, I bet.

 

[henzINNIT]

Didn't care at all about Hellfire. This new idea sounds more interesting.

 

[2kt09]

The premise sounds less interesting than a Hellfire spinoff.
Not much else to go by outside of Matt Nix has experience with doing cop shows and sitcoms.

 

[Sithborg]

His experience with Burn Notice definitely has my eye.

 

[TheVileOne]

Hilarious that all the blogs are calling this an X-Men tv series. It's not an X-Men TV series like The Flash is a Flash TV series.

 

[2kt09]

Well, yeah...there's no title to it.
They just default to un-named X-Men project because mutants and for more clicks.

 

[TheVileOne]

It's being called Untitled Fox Marvel Project. The press release didn't even mention X-Men.

Sorry guys, this isn't the X-Men show we'd all go gaga over show. We aren't going to see Wolverine pop his claws and get into it with Cyclops here.

 

[Smilodon]

No one was expecting that anyways. That's something that should be reserved for TV.

Hellfire wasn't going to work out anyways. If they're going to do the Hellfire Club again, it should be in a film.

Cool that they have a specific showrunner though. That'll get things moving, quality notwithstanding. Not expecting much though, especially compared to how awesome Legion is sounding.

fox has live action rights to mutants and X-men related characters.marvel
controls tv rights.fox can't make a X-men related tv show without marvel's approval but marvel can't produce X_men related tv show on their own.

strange how we get word of X-Men related tv show and people bring up FF.

while this could be a stand alone contunity from films like legion it's still
very doudtful anything is done with FF till rights revert in 2022.

If fox and marvel are co-producing legion and this it shows no rights reversal
is happening.otherwise fox would be producing tv shows alone and disney would get FF.

 

[Sithborg]

Except that the TV rights require cooperation. Marvel can't use mutants in live action TV without Fox's permission, and vice versa. Co-production is probably the deal needed to get Marvel to budge on their end.

I merely go by the vibe in the "Rebooted 'Keep Hope Alive'" thread where almost any and every news related to Fox and Marvel rights ends up speculating on 'What does this mean for the Fantastic Four.' Even though I don't have any interest in the F4 at all, somehow that property is still on people's minds.

i don't go there.since ff will be rebooted again i don't care about it anyway
even if fox were to do something with it.Spider-man is my second favorate comic book property after X-men and my intrest in SPider-man Homecoming is so after not liking spider-man and civil war and rothman basicly confirmed
stark is major character in homecoming like like I thought.

at this point i would be fine with fox using ff to get more X_men rights with regards to tv and merchandize.

I feel like ideally X-Men's stories should be adapted in a TV series, because they have more time to develop characters, 9 to 24 episode per season. However, superhero properties like X-Men.... a big budget for the sets, costumes, visual effects is needed. And I just don't thnk either Marvel or Fox has that kind of budget for these shows. Marvel's Netflix shows looked really budget TV while I've seen some of Fox's tv productions and IMO, the shows of ABC studios looks more less TV than Fox and it brings me to ABC Studios which produces Agent Carter/AOS which are both limited to spectacle. Then the next issue is the quality.

With the premise of this show, it doesn't even sound interesting. Clearly they are going with something less grand.

 

[psylockolussus]

removed double post

 

[marvelrobbins]

I don't watch any of the marvel shows abc shows lost me early on.i tried to
give agents of shield chances and just don't like it.

I watch most of DC show showever.the cw ones and gotham.with supergirl coming to CW i am going to give season 1 a chance after only seeing episode one.

both legion and this i will give chance but they have to keep my intrest.

Tv shows can never do what big budget films can do.

Gotham's like one of if not the most expensive looking comic-based show there is, no question, and FOX seems to have a thing for scifi and fantasy programming
(constantly replacing that void so it seems when one gets shafted).
The quality of content falls on the showrunner(s) developing it.

 

[Superhero 101]

I just hope its as good as Flash

 

[GuestStar2004]

From reading the concept i am even more convinced this won't be connected to the movies.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Tv shows can never do what big budget films can do.

Most tv shows are made for drama rather then doing huge big budget looking spectacle.

Although the flash has some pretty impressive effects for a tv show so its not totally out the question for some cool visuals but i think the whole point of a tv show is for the multi-episode drama.

Thats a Warner Bros. television production. Its just airing on Fox.

 

[2kt09]

That's a Warner Bros. television production. Its just airing on Fox.

Correct.
I also just realized it's somewhat trivial to recite prior examples because they aren't co-produced by the same companies and there is no guarantee Fox, ABC Studios, nor Marvel TV would call up any one of those for this show.

This is also the second time Marvel TV (Jim Chory does have EP experience as far as Marvel Netflix and Agent Carter) is partnering with the film producers of the X-Men series (Simon Kinberg is the only one with any recent background in scifi/fantasy tv, albeit animated - Bryan Singer was one producer of many on a couple web shows).

 

[psylockolussus]

IMO, this is more of a Fox production than Marvel television. We'll see, though. The fact that they aren't reaching for the skies, in terms of the premise for the show makes me a bit iffy about it.

 

[Sithborg]

Loeb, Singer, Kinberg, and Schuler-Donner all have Executive Producer credits on Legion, which is also a co-production. But, EP isn't necessarily an important position in TV.
