[TV] Well done, New Zealand TV

I don’t know if this has hit the news here yet or not, but the creator of Veronica Mars (Rob Thomas) will be showrunning the American remake of Outrageous Fortune.

 

That’s right, a NZ show being remade for the American market. Which may not have happened since Julie Christie sold the format for ‘The Chair’. And I’m not sure has ever happened for a drama. This is a huge thing, and my congratulations to James Griffin and Rachel Lang – the creators of the original thing.

 

… And how cool was it to see two Kiwi actors in Lost last night? Especially the actor who plays Wolf in OF as the mother-freaking Captain!
