Hey All,
Not a lot of news to share today, but still a few things that folks will find interesting (I hope):
TELEVISION
ReelzChannel has acquired the Canadian spy thriller action series XIII that is about a guy (Stuart Townsend, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) named XIII for the Roman numeral tattooed on his neck, a former secret operative, who has been stripped of his memory. Hunted by a dark anti-government organization, XIII searches for clues that will uncover the secret that makes him so valuable—and so potentially dangerous. Jones (Aisha Tyler, Ghost Whisperer) is a government agent and XIII’s most loyal ally. XIII will premiere in June. (Nellie Andreeva at Deadline)
