The Umbrella Academy (Netflix TV series)
Continuing on from this thread, here's a thread for the upcoming 2018 show based on the Dark Horse comic book series The Umbrella Academy (which is great and should be read by everyone), created by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, the third volume of which allegedly will be released later this year. Spoiler:
The Cast:
*it is unclear at this time if these characters will appear in the series as they are already deceased when the series begins Spoiler:
Filming for the series began last Monday, January 15th Gerard Way: “I am thrilled that ‘The Umbrella Academy’ has found a home at Netflix. I couldn’t think of a better place for the vision Gabriel Bá and myself had when creating the comic, and cannot wait for people to experience that world as a live action show.” Cindy Holland, VP of Netflix OC: “What drew us to ‘The Umbrella Academy’ is that it’s wholly unique, visual, and stylized. These aren’t the usual superheroes, and this series will embrace the singular tone of the graphic novels—dark yet humorous, supernatural yet grounded in reality. We’re excited to see this world and introduce these unforgettable heroes to Netflix members around the globe.” The first season of The Umbrella Academy will have ten episodes, although whether they will be an hour or half-hour in length has yet to be announced. Universal Cable Productions is set to produce the series, with Steve Blackman (Fargo, Legion) serving as executive producer and showrunner. Way, Bluegrass Television, and Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg are set to executive produce the pilot, directed by Peter Hoar from a script by Jeremy Slater. Updates will be added as they are announced

I remember reading the books and not being as blown away by the story as I was by the artwork.
The simple fact that Ba drew the table read just...it makes my heart sing.

That's some interesting casting for Cha-Cha.
Is Netflix really releasing the season later this year if they just started filming last month? Seems like a quick turnaround. |

Yeah, a lot of interesting casting and altering of roles for this show. Right now I'm intrigued but if they change too much it feels like it wouldn't be based on the comic books

Apparently the showrunners have created a love interest-character for Vanya Hargreeves and cast John Magaro in the role
You may have seen him on Orange is the New Black

Somehow I missed the news a couple weeks ago that a 3rd comic is coming out this Fall.

I've always been a really big fan of Gerard Way. Great to see the ball rolling on this series!

Marathoned it this weekend. Damn good stuff. I personally like it better than the comics.
Also, Ben (The Horror) gets to actually be a character, which is fantastic. The only difference I wouldn't have minded keeping the same would be the changes to Hazel and Cha Cha. But, it did make them far more nuanced and interesting. I liked it. 10/10. Bring on Season 2!!!

Do you think this will end her/his career? I mean, will we ever see this new Elliot guy getting a major role in a big movie?

I doubt it. He will still get roles that would fit who he is. Elliot Page can get roles that don't define the characters being either He or She.

If I had to guess... a small, short spike in roles by indie filmmakers looking to both congratulate Page and be "bold and brave" in welcoming Page to new films (capitalizing on this) and such while this news remains relevant.
Beyond that, nada. Page won't be getting cast anymore as third stringers in Nolan movies or anything. Who knows... maybe Feige will find her some role in the new X-Men stuff. But I anticipate a lot of angry speeches to come about Hollywood.

It is a bit disturbing to see how quickly her Wikipedia page was updated to reflect her new status.

(S)he's an actress/actor, why can't (s)he play the role of a woman while being or thinking to be a man?
