'Global Frequency' back to TV?
Global Frequency, the DC/Wildstorm comic, might be back in play as a TV series.
You may remember that in 2005, Mark Burnett (producer of Survivor) and John Rogers (who would go on to write the comic Blue Beetle and create the show Leverage) created a pilot for the WB. The pilot wasn't picked up; however, it got leaked to the Interwebs and became the most watched pilot that never got picked up.
Now the industry magazine Production Weekly has just posted the following on Twitter: The CW will again try to adapt Warren Ellis' comic book "Global Frequency," this time Scott Nimerfro will script the pilot. Scott Nimerfro has written for Star Trek: Voyager, Tales From The Crypt, Perversions Of Science, The Outer Limits, Stargate: Atlantis, and Pushing Daisies, and was an associate producer on the X-Men movie.
Warren Ellis, creator of Global Frequency, sent out an email with the headline "I couldn't possibly comment".
We understand. And we couldn't possibly embed a video with footage from the original Global Frequency pilot that should never have been released out on the Internet. That would be wrong.
Here's hoping Michelle Forbes is still available.

Well, I should hope that Michelle Forbes gets recast as Miranda Zero.
She's not only a terrific actress, BUT she's a definite doll! ;-)

"the most watched pilot that never got picked up."
Really? More than Heat Vision and Jack? Impressive if true.

I don't have numbers on HV&J-- but GF was certainly the most watched pilot that never got picked up while it still could be picked up. HV&J hit the Internet years after the pick-up option expired, and years after GF did it.
