Mercy Reef

*Raph's Girl* · 02-21-2006, 10:35 AM

The new Aquaman series has a title folks! And the title is Mercy Reef!

In the comics Mercy Reef is where Arthur Curry was found and grew up.

So far in the cast are:
Will Toale: A former model (gah). He's playing Arthur "A.C" Curry. Will Toale is 28

Denise Quiñones: Straight from her stint playing Batgirl wannabe Andrea in "Smallville" she will now be playing A.C's potential love interest (when will Mera show up to kick her arse???), Rachel. Denise is a former Miss Puerto Rico. Denise will be turning 26 this year.

Here's what Will Toale looks like:

And here's Denise Quinones:

Ving Rhames (Kojak, Mission: Impossible III) has been cast on Mercy Reef (the Aquaman series) as McCaffery, the lighthouse keeper and A.C.'s mentor.

Know what all this means folks? Ving Rhames is the token!

I'd have kept Mera in from the beggining, either as an agent of Atlantis telling him of his destiny, ascension to the throne, and helping to prepare him with how to use his powers. Maybe that will occur inevtiably, season finale, not sure, but it could work much better than a new girl.

...More and more this sounds like a bad rip on Little Mermaid...his guest starring father will be one of those "Mans' world sucks, Atlantis Number One" figures...

Yea... Bruce Timm is reportadly working on the animated Supergirl series now that JLU is cancelled.

Meanwhile some more info on Will Toale's firing:

"Will is a talented actor with a promising career and we hope to work with him in the future," a CW spokesman said. "We have made the decision to go in a different direction with the Aquaman role and wish him the best of luck in all of his endeavors."

Sources said the move to recast the lead role was a result of last month's surprise announcement by CBS Corp. and Warner Bros. Entertainment of plans to shut down CBS-owned UPN and Warners' signature network in order to start a jointly owned network, dubbed the CW, in the fall. UPN president Dawn Ostroff is set to oversee programming for the CW.

Sources said that after the UPN team began taking a look at WB's pilot development prospects, the decision was made to proceed with "Aquaman" but with a new lead. Sources said CBS Corp. president and CEO Leslie Moonves, who is known for his interest and savvy in pilot casting decisions, weighed in on the matter and recommended that they seek a new star, though Toale was still said to be in the running to keep the role as of last week.

!!!!!!!

Don't toy with me!

I remember back in 1998, they were talking About doing a Supergirl Animated series, and a Lobo animated series. Neither came to be at that time. I think I could die happy if Supergirl gets a show now

I'm guessing it will be about Kara In-Ze?

The Lobo animated series exists... or existed. It was a series of short flash movies you could see on his former official site (I dunno where it leads today, might still work). However, if the site's still working, there's only episode one and two online.

Now, you could always PM me for more help...
