Well ... we have a "little" pilot for television that you might have heard about called Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D. co-written, directed, and Executive Produced by none other than Joss Whedon! Working with Joss, Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, Jeffrey Bell on the show is a blast! And bringing in Clark Gregg to play Agent Phil Coulson — the best! Hopefully we will be on in the Fall of 2013 on ABC!

That's as expected.

**RollWithEm** · 12-22-2012, 05:06 PM

Cast is complete.

Quote:

Actress Chloe Bennet, best known for a recurring role in the ABC drama Nashville, has joined the pilot as a superhero fan intrigued by the shadowy government organizations they work with.

Quote:

Bennet becomes the sixth and final regular in the drama and will play Skye, a confident woman who is slightly obsessed with superhero culture and the shadow organizations that exist within it. She's edgy and can out-talk anyone with her unflappable nature.

Let's get this thing into production already!

Show will get the greenlight unless the pilot is terrible.

Quote:

"We haven't yet seen the pilot. We fast-tracked that one before the others; we'll get to see it a lot earlier than the others. We're very hopeful that's going to go forward to series. We'll build our marketing campaign early for it ... By the way, the script's great. I don't want to jinx it, but I'm very excited about it."

[Joss] is very engaged with the series if we go to series. He's already working on scripts. We shot it in Los Angeles to make sure he's free to work across his feature life and television life. But I love to see Joss, who of course has made many great television shows in his day, enjoying television as much as movies."

Pretty much in line with everything I had heard thusfar.

Whedon breaks down what his S.H.I.E.L.D. series is all about

Quote:

"You have to bring a bit of spectacle to [S.H.I.E.L.D.]. It's got to be bigger than your average cop show. But at the end of the day, it's about the peripheral people. It's about the people on the edges of the grand adventures. The whole point of the show is that even with all these big things, the little things matter. It's about people who don't have super powers. There will be some people with powers, there will be FX, and there will be the spectacle of science-fiction storytelling -- but all played on a very human, small level. That's the appeal of the thing."

That's pretty much exactly what I had hoped it would be.

When will this series take place in the timeline?

Quote:

Late last week at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, ABC president Paul Lee confirmed that S.H.I.E.L.D. will take place after The Avengers.

Quote:

"There is no question that it is part of the Marvel Universe," Lee said. "In fact, the story takes place after the battle for New York."

This isn't going to just be a show about Marvel crossovers, though.

Quote:

This is S.H.I.E.L.D. They're following their own particular stories. There are characters in it, Coulson, who clearly come from Avengers. So it's part of the world, but we're going to be very, very careful that we don't tread on the toes of the features and build a whole new world. And that's what Joss Whedon does better than anybody else. He's built a world for us.

Sounds like they are taking the source material very seriously.

The Pilot is finally finished. Don't they look satisfied?

Why was it so important Coulson be a part of the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show?

Quote:

The idea of the Little Guy is something that I am very fierce about, and there has never been a better Little Guy than Clark Gregg. That intrigued me, this world around the superhero community. It’s the people whose shop windows get blown up when the Destroyer shows up. It’s the more intimate stories that belong on television that we can really tap into the visual style and ethos, and even some of the mythology, of the Marvel movies. I think we’ve put together another really great ensemble headed by Clark. And how much it’s actually seeding or hinting or reacting to what’s going on in the movies is something we’ll let play out as we go. For me the most important thing is that people fall in love with it on its own merits, rather than constantly asking, “Is there gonna be an Avenger?” Well, there’s not gonna be a Hulk because that guy’s too expensive.

I still don't exactly get it. Why did he have to come back from the dead exactly?

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Clark Gregg teases Coulson's return from the dead

Quote:

I’ve been so happy and living this geek fantasy as they kept adding Agent Coulson to everything including The Avengers and then gave him this magnificent, almost Shakespearean death scene, and I found out on that day how much I loved this guy and had come to identify with him partly because of the way fans responded to him, and also because he had such a great niche in those movies. He got to be funny, he got to be, in this case, heroic. And then I got to say good-bye to him, and it was a very emotional day. And yet I feel what Joss did with that was a fantastic conclusion of the character.

And even though my friends at Marvel said, ‘You know, we spent a lot of time talking about how Coulson lives, and we know that there’s a movement out there, and there are t-shirts and people paint on bridges ‘Coulson Lives’, we’re going to bring you back’, and it’s one of the many things people tell you that never ever happens. And then I get this call from Joss saying, ‘Well…there’s a script. And here’s what we’re thinking, and it’s after The Avengers, and here’s the concept.’ By the time Joss finished telling me, I was in... After people see the show, they’ll have some clue as to why I’m still there, still breathing. But I don’t think they’ll know everything.

Well, that doesn't give away much of anything. Good job Clark.

New title and synopsis:

Quote:

Joss Whedon shows us not all heroes are super with Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fresh from his role in the summer’s box office smash, Marvel’s The Avengers, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to tackle the cases that haven’t been classified yet, the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). They’ll be joined by civilian new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).

Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of superheroes, aliens and the unusual – of action, spectacle and world spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered S.H.I.E.L.D agents – that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.

Good title.

How will Joss Whedon bring Agent Coulson back to life?

Quote:

In the pilot, it’s revealed Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), the ultimate super spy, faked Agent Coulson’s death on purpose to motivate The Avengers. Some S.H.I.E.L.D. members were in on it (including, possibly, Maria Hill played by Cobie Smulders) but The Avengers were not. Their security clearance wasn’t high enough. Coulson was forced to hold his breath as part of the ruse and that’s a point of contention among his colleagues. After the fact, Fury moved him to a remote location until things died down, and then he was reinserted into duty at the time of the show.

Sounds pretty lame in the context of a movie/TV series, but that's a typical Nick Fury plot from the comics. Not surprised at all.
