ABC Greenlights Whedon's "S.H.I.E.L.D." TV Series

Deadline reports that Joss Whedon's rumored Marvel-themed TV project just got official. ABC has ordered a live-action pilot for "S.H.I.E.L.D." from Whedon, who will co-write and possibly direct.

News of a possible Marvel TV project for Whedon came following the announcement that he would return to direct "The Avengers 2," the sequel to the blockbuster "The Avengers" which has earned an estimated $617 million since its May 4 release. Signing on as director was actually part of a larger exclusive deal with Disney, Marvel's parent company, that would also see him develop a Marvel TV project.

Fans of Marvel Studios' films know that S.H.I.E.L.D., which stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, was first introduced in 2008's "Iron Man" and the organization's role has continued to grow in successive films. Both S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and fan-favorite Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) played critical roles in "The Avengers," making the project a logical choice for Whedon.

Whedon will co-write with his brother, Jed Whedon ("Spartacus: Vengeance"), and Maurissa Tancharoen ("Spartacus: Gods of the Arena"), both of whom also worked on Whedon's "Dollhouse" series at Fox. "S.H.I.E.L.D." marks Joss Whedon's return to television where he created the critically acclaimed "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel," "Firefly" and "Dollhouse."

Production on "S.H.I.E.L.D." will begin immediately, but there are no further details regarding casting for Marvel TV's first live-action project.

Gaaf. Zou de serie ook een continuïteit delen met de films?

The Avengers komt overigens vandaag uit op de diverse home video formaten.

jammer dat dat artikel op de frontpage dus al vanaf de titel niet klopt. The Avengers zelf krijgen geen tv-serie, het gaat over S.H.I.E.L.D (en dat zijn dus niet The Avengers).

_{bovendien waren Firefly en Dollhouse verre van succesvol. ze zijn wel culthits geworden}

Espenson zit bij Once Upon A Time, dus daar zou ik niet te snel op rekenen. Al is 1 aflevering vast wel te doen.

S.H.I.E.L.D. TV Series Will Be ‘Autonomous’ From Avengers
Wednesday, August 29th, 2012 at 12:45pm

by Kevin Melrose
Whatever you want to call ABC’s newly greenlit S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot, don’t call it an Avengers spinoff, as co-writer Joss Whedon wants to stress that the series is largely “autonomous” from this year’s $1.5 billion blockbuster and its upcoming sequel.

That said, Variety’s Cynthia Littleton reported from Tuesday night’s Q&A the Writers Guild Theater with Sleepwalk with Me filmmakers Mike Birbiglia and Ira Glass that Whedon “reserves right to pepper in bits here and there.”

Part of Whedon’s new three-year exclusive deal with Marvel Studios, which of course includes The Avengers 2, the pilot centers on the global espionage and law-enforcement agency that’s been a key part of Marvel comics since 1965, and has helped to provide the connective tissue between the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (predominantly through cameos by Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury and Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson before the organization took center stage in The Avengers).

As previously reported, Whedon will co-write the pilot with his brother Jed Whedon and Jed’s wife Maurissa Tancharoen, with whom he previously worked on Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and Dollhouse. Jed Whedon and Tancharoen will serve as showrunners and executive producers along with Jeffrey Bell (Angel, Alias). Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s head of television, will also executive produce.

Whedon, who may also direct the pilot, joked that he’ll show up every now and then “and take credit for everything,”

A live-action television series set in the Avengers universe was first teased nearly a month ago, with a S.H.I.E.L.D. drama seeming the most likely candidate (as we noted at the time, the project blends the ever-popular elements of a police procedural with high-tech espionage, and makes financial sense, as Marvel already has Helicarrier sets, CG models and costumes, would would lower the production costs of a weekly show).

The pilot, which is targeted for ABC’s fall 2013 lineup, would be the first Marvel project picked up by the network since the comic company’s acquisition by corporate parent Disney in 2009. ABC passed on AKA Jessica Jones, a pilot based on Alias by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos, and development of the live-action revival of The Incredible Hulk by Guillermo del Toro and David Eick has been slow moving.

Weet je wat ik me nou afvraag, ze hebben bijvoorbeeld een Hulk 3d Model on file liggen. Hoe duur zal het voor zo'n studio zijn om een aflevering te bouwen waarin bijvoorbeeld The Hulk net zo netjes als in The Avengers wat hommeles schopt. Vooralsnog blijft CGI in series (ik noem een ijsbeer in Lost) enorm achter bij films...
