Support NeoGAF

[Rumblebones]

Netflix has given a 10-episode straight-to-series order to hourlong sci-fi, family drama, Raising Dion, based on commercial and music video director Dennis Liu’s short film about an African-American single mother who discovers her young son has multiple, constantly changing abilities. The project comes from Liu, Creed star Michael B. Jordan, who will have a supporting role, veteran showrunner Carol Barbee (UnReal, Judging Amy), writer-producer Michael Green (American Gods, Logan) and Charles D. King’s MACRO (Fences).

I am so in for this. Show sounds promising going by the premise alone and some of the talent involved makes it's an instant watch for me.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Superhero Fences sounds all sorts of awesome.

 

[Ferulci]

I'm in.

 

[Evil John Locke]

So it won't be like Space Jam?

 

[neojubei]

Sounds interesting I’m in.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

I was already pumped for this, I didn't know Michael B Jordn was in this too

 

[Koyuga]

Its a very neat concept, will keep an eye out for it.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Oh wow, kinda surprising to see MBJ doing tv again with how big his movie career has gotten

Not really, considering how well respected working in television actually is these days. (outside of the big networks, at least)

 

[Slayven]

The short was really good. Glad to see something coming from it

I don't think the TV-Movie divide is really considered that big anymore, considering the talent we've gotten in various miniseries and shows on FX, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Starz, and of course HBO.

Tom Hardy, Clive Owen, Mark Strong, Michael Sheen, James Franco, Terrence Howard, etc. have all been in TV shows in the last few years

 

[Baroquemantic]

Definitely in for this.

 

[Jaeger]

Hell yes.

 

[Cardon]

I'm there for whatever MBJ is in. Dude is fantastic.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

This sounds incredible! I'm going to have to check out that short too.

It's the special effect that are really bad on TV shows compared to Film. Especially for superhero shows.

Michael Green also wrote Blade Runner 2049.

And Alien Covenant.

And yet the storytelling is much, much better.

It's the little things like seeing friendships actually show friendship rather than being hold characters were once friends.

 

[Legend of Aims]

I'm down for this

I've seen the trailer (or fan vid) since last year. Awesome it's being picked up

 

[MidnightRain]

I'm definitely watching this.

Jesus. Once you get something into your head, it stays there for good, huh?
"It's the UN!"
"Black Widow said we were never trained for this. Not a strong female character."
"Iron-man and Cap werent friends!"
"CW only made $1.1b and Homecoming didnt make $1b. IM's box office power obviously fading."

Rinse and repeat and randomly bring up at opportune moments.

 

[Decado]

Family drama... probably not for me.

 

[Alpende]

In for Michael B. Jordan

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

That's an interesting premise. I'll have to watch the short.

 

[badcrumble]

I went to high school with Dennis Liu and worked with him on a bunch of film production in high school and college. I'm so fucking delighted to see his hard work pay off - he's absolutely gonna give this project his all.

 

[Faustek]

This looks really interesting. I'm on board.

Always happy to see old friends step up.

Hell yes
