Jessica Jones tv series

Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is planning to bring Marvel superhero, Jessica Jones, to television, according to Variety. AKA Jessica Jones is being considered for ABC’s slate next fall, and Brian Michael Bendis, who created the comic-book series in 2001 (it was originally titled, Alias), will be a consultant for the show.
The scary part about this article..... TWILIGHT screenwriter...They should just make a Heroes for Hire tv series.

The Stryker 12-17-2010 02:42 PM

I think the bigger problem is that Bendis is working on it.

Candy Kappa 12-17-2010 02:52 PM

The Twilght Screen-Writer and Bendis... must be a joke

AKA Jessica Jones? Really? That sounds horrible. I liked it better when they were calling it Alter Ego. This is too bad. Give Alias to a good showrunner, throw it on a network like FX (where Bendis' other work, Powers is getting a show), and it could be great. Alias would lend itself great to a gritty noir show. Oh well.

Krysten Ritter has officially been cast as Jessica Jones who apparantly also goes by the name of Julia.

I like Ritter but out of the finalists I was really hoping Dadarrio got the part.

Davetello 12-05-2014 10:32 AM

Ahh, I remember her from Breaking Bad. She was good in the show, let's hope she's good in JJ.

plastroncafe 12-05-2014 11:04 AM

Jones always seemed a bit more...solid, physically, than Ritter is. She's kind of waify and willowy.

I've got to give the Twilight screenwriter some credit, they took some really horrid source material and did something with it. That's way better than a lot of past comic movies and book adaptations have gotten.

TigerClaw 09-10-2015 11:31 AM

Here's the teaser for the Jessica Jones series, the show is set to premiere on November 20th.


plastroncafe 09-10-2015 11:46 AM

Yup. I will be watching the ever living daylights out of this show.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 09-10-2015 12:32 PM

Most definitely.

Autbot_Benz 09-10-2015 01:57 PM

I am only watching this show cause David Tennant is a villain and he is one of my favorite actors. Other than that I don't know jack about J Jones

plastroncafe 09-10-2015 02:13 PM

The comic is well worth the read, though warning: It's from the darker/edgier Marvel Universe intended for mature audiences. So...read at your own risk.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 09-10-2015 03:34 PM

Finally got a chance to watch that teaser, and holy hell, I really love Marvel's dark edgy TV. This looks right up my alley, just like Daredevil. Can't WAIT.

Also, about time we got an edgy badass protagonist who was a woman. Maybe Marvel will beat Wonder Woman to the punch after all...

NinjaPug 09-10-2015 03:43 PM

Out of the 4 Marvel Netflix series announced this was the one I was most excited about. I know what I'll be doing over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Before Daredevil, I didn't trust them to pull this off. But if Marvel can create a serious morally-conflicted shades-of-gray real-world comic-book-story once (Daredevil), then why not again? :tgrin:

ToTheNines 09-10-2015 05:48 PM

Hell yeah, finally can mark my calendar.

TurtleTitan97 09-10-2015 06:25 PM

I'm really looking forward to it. Loved the Alias comics.

chrisdude 09-10-2015 09:07 PM

Very excited for this. Hopefully, I'll have that weekend off, and binge like a mofo. If it's half as good at the book, I won't be able to stop.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 09-10-2015 09:35 PM

Read the five-issue Purple Man confrontation, couldn't get into any of the other "Alias" storyarcs... I think Jessica Jones is awesome, though, and can't wait to see this translated to screen. :grin:

chrisdude 09-11-2015 06:07 AM

When I heard the premise for the show, I read the first issue, then I ordered the Alias omnibus. I enjoyed the last She-Hulk run, which revolved around She-Hulk's law firm, and I figured I'd like Alias. Turned out better than I expected. I actually have the Pulse follow-up series in the mail from Amazon. Jones might be one of my new favorite characters.

It's funny. Kristen Ritter was my fan pic for Jessica Drew. But I think she can pull this off.

NinjaPug 09-17-2015 12:09 PM

Some official pictures were released today. Guess they're going with purple clothing instead of purple skin for Kilgrave.

Well HELLO THAR Luke Cage....

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 09-17-2015 12:23 PM

When do we get a trailer!?

Cure 09-17-2015 01:40 PM

That is one busty man.

Let's not forget one my favorite Marvel characters, Patsy Walker. Now, Trisha Walker, presumably because Patsy is an old person nickname for Patricia...

ToTheNines 09-22-2015 08:02 PM

So the comics... I'm not a very big Bendis fan but I've heard great things about the Alias run. You guys all recommend them?

I'd recommend it. It's definitely a good read, imo.

I'd recommend them. Outside of Alias and Powers I'm not a fan of Bendis either.

ZariusTwo 09-23-2015 06:34 AM

Bendis is poison to team books (Avengers, Guardians, X-Men), but he usually works well on solo hero titles

chrisdude 09-30-2015 07:31 PM

New teaser. I guess this is the third?


EDIT:
Teasers 1 and 2, because they don't seem to be here.
Spoiler:


ToTheNines 10-08-2015 07:03 PM

Purple Man teaser



Also, here's a free prequel web comic. Daredevil cameo...

NinjaPug 10-08-2015 07:26 PM

Best teaser yet. The marketing for this has been great so far.

I really hope we get a full trailer with the NYCC panel on Saturday.

TigerClaw 10-23-2015 09:33 AM

Here's the full trailer.


CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 10-23-2015 09:38 AM

Watched it twice already... looks SUPER DARK. So freaking excited! :tgrin:

Man, imagine if all of Marvel's films were as good as this or Daredevil... :tsad:

NinjaPug 10-23-2015 10:03 AM

Man that looks even better than I was hoping for. Ritter and Tennant were great casting choices.

TurtleTitan97 10-23-2015 12:31 PM

Pretty sweet trailer.

NinjaPug 10-23-2015 04:48 PM

I'm curious what the timeline of Jessica being a superhero is going to be in relation to the MCU.

plastroncafe 10-23-2015 04:54 PM

Me too, considering in the comics she's a contemporary of Peter Parker's...but he's going to be a kid in the MCU.

Well we know it's set after Daredevil Season 1 but we don't know yet if the events in the most recent Marvel films will be mentioned.

And after seeing Tennant being all sorts of creepy in that trailer..um... er :tcouch:
