Meme time!
So over on my flist, beckyh2112 posted the following meme:
1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (post-apocalyptic scifi-fi drama, fantasy, noir gumshoe pulp, criminal procedure...IN SPACE, historical drama WITH WEREWOLVES, etc.).
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them.
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios, and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal.
Being as I'm having a slow night, I waved the white flag and got "GANGSTER NOIR...in SPACE!"
Can I do that? Hells YEAH i can do that. Let me introduce you to the new Showtime Original sci-fi gangster noir, "Inferior Conjunction!"
INFERIOR CONJUNCTION, a Premium Cable Original Series
starring:
JEREMY RENNER as KELVIN KEPLER - His star is on the ascent in the Magnetosphere Sodality, the premier criminal organization of the Triangulum Galaxy. But if the Sodality ever learned he's a deep-cover agent for the Megacosm Judicature, his anatidae is flash-fried!
VIN DIESEL as ROCHE SEYFERT, Kelvin's sponsor in the Sodality. A regular Joe with a heart of gold who also does very, very bad things to stay afloat.
MATTHEW MODINE as BOLIDE JANSKY, Kelvin's handler with the Judicature. Also his former brother-in-law who nurses a grudge on behalf of Kelvin's ex-wife, making his instructions and backup suspect.
TOMMY LEE JONES as ALBEDO VAN ALLEN, the head of the Sodality. A cold, ruthless man who muscled his way into power through sheer ambition, he has reached his second century and is beginning to show his age. Kelvin's lately come to Van Allen's attention, and he's taken a shine to the young man who reminds him of himself.
CARL LUMBLY as NEWTON QUADRATURE, the revered longtime head of the Judicature. A legend in intergalactic law enforcement. Kelvin hero-worships Quadrature, longtime nemesis of the Sodality and Van Allen. But as he goes deeper into the Sodality's power structure, Kelvin finds dark hints of connections between Quadrature and Van Allen buried deep in the two men's pasts....
JENNIFER CARPENTER as PLANITIA JANSKY-DYSON, Kelvin's ex-wife, Bolide's sister; a reporter for the Extragalactic Ephemeris who thinks she scents a story in Kelvin's dealings with the Sodality. Kelvin and Bolide have to do some fancy footwork to keep her in the dark - and safe!
MICHELLE FORBES as CALDERA VAN ALLEN, daughter of Albedo Van Allen, also his first lieutenant and heir apparent to control of the Sodality. Fiercely jealous of anyone whose position in the Sodality might threaten her own and fiercely suspicious of anyone who gets close to her father - and Kelvin is both.
NATASHA HENSTRIDGE as MERIDIAN PENROSE, Kelvin's former Judicature partner, a close friend. Though a straight-arrow Judie, she's embroiled in a tempestuous off-and-on love affair with Roche Seyfert.
ZOE SALDANA as SOLSTICE SAGAN, daughter of Newton Quadrature and widow of a Judie killed by the Sodality. She's become a political activist and gadfly campaigning against the intergalactic racketeers' insinuation into the galaxy's power structure. She sees Kelvin as the enemy and is shamed by her secret attraction to him; he sees her as the woman he loves from afar, tries to keep from being marked for death by the Sodality and antagonizes whenever he sees her.
I'd watch it. How 'bout y'all?
ETA: I'm'a idiot - I meant Natasha Henstridge's character is having a torrid affair with Vin Diesel's character, the Mob Man. Fixed now. :-P
