  • Nathan Fillion Will "Drive" for Fox

    It's been announced that Nathan Fillion has snagged the lead role in Fox's midseason drama series "Drive". The series, from the likes of producers Tim Minear, Ben Queen and Greg Yaitanes, centers on an underground illegal cross-country race that is being held for unknown and potentially sinister reasons. Nathan plays a rogue landscaper by the name of Alex Tully, who is coerced into joining the bumper-to-bumper-face-off to search for his wife who has been abducted. "Drive" is set to premiere sometime this spring after "American Idol". In the original pilot, Alex was played by Ivan Sergei.


    Here's hoping the series is not only good but takes off and never is halted by the network. Nathan Fillion and Tim Minear readily deserve it.

      It's been described in the past as having elements of "Cannonball Run", "The Game" and "Magnolia" and has also been referred to as "The Amazing Race on acid".

          It will probably be premiering sometime in March or April. You can keep track of the official website for details when they arrive.

              Tim Minear showed a Teaser at the Expo (after his class). It's different, but I liked the transition between the cars and the people driving. He mentioned that Fox had passed on the show (after spending $1 Mil to produce the teaser). Hopefully, they support it - being after AI is a good start.

                  Did they actually describe their character as a "rogue landscaper"? What is he planting evil plants or something?
                  Never let the competition know what you're thinking... and never tell the unseen masses your story idea.

                    Maybe he comes round and does your garden even if you don't want him to?

                    They're the worst kind.


                    Hope the show does well, loved him in Firefly and Serenity.

                      I know that date seems to be everywhere but it's not true. It looks like it will premiere sometime in April. And probably not on Thursday nights.

                          Mondays? So does that mean Prison Break wil air its finale before April 16th?
