Very interesting.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Well, since RDJ seems like he walks around with the Perry Mason theme song playing in his head 24/7, this is fitting.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

1. Where's my Jake and the Fat Man reboot!!!!??

2. They are going make Della a young hottie aren't they?

 

[Dave McFly]

I hope they keep the theme song



that is the one for the TV movies but it was the best sounding version I could find. if they use the theme I am sure it will be shorter like the 60s TV version.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I walk in thinking, "Oh, ****, RDJ and HBO, six initials that I love.

Then I click on the article.

MOTHER****ING NIC PIZZOLATTO AND RDJ. SO. ****ING. THERE. My boy is back!

Monte Markham played PERRY MASON in the New Perry Mason during the early 70's.

RDJ has a big act to follow. Raymond Burr is a TV legend.

 

[Dave McFly]

I honestly have to agree Burr WAS Mason nobody can really ever top him or replace him.

 

[terry78]

Eh, we've heard that song and dance before regarding roles. The character is originally from novels anyway.

Robert Downey Jr.’s ‘Perry Mason’ Limited Series at HBO Casts Matthew Rhys in Title Role

 

[David H.]

Love Rhys but I was looking forward to seeing RDJ step out of his Tony Stark persona.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Well... I'm in. Something different for Rhys.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Matthew Rhys is a good actor, but yeah, the news is a total buzzkill.

 

[Kaleb]

 

[terry78]

Well that's quite a jolt.

 

[Sithborg]

Tatiana Maslany. Sold.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'll definitely be checking this out.

 

[Sawyer]

Just based on my perception of the old show, I didn’t think a new one would be for me, but I’m digging the look of this.

 

[flickchick85]

Tatiana Maslany. Sold.

My thoughts exactly. Somehow I missed when she was cast. I have missed her!

Also, this looks great.

 

[antsman41]

I love how HBO has sole rights to Radiohead.

 

[squeekness]

I'll be checking this out for sure.

 

[flickchick85]

I love how HBO has sole rights to Radiohead.

Ozark's used them on a couple of occasions too.

 

[Kaleb]

 

[Pink Ranger]

To be honest, I was hoping for a bit of camp, but this ultra-serious take is compelling too.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I think this is the only upcoming TV show this year I'm really excited about or will watch, as soon as I can get my hands on season five of Better Call Saul.

 

[flickchick85]

Really can't wait for this.
