French tv series with James Marsters...oui!

CANNES: WE Productions, Humanoids and Panini U.K. Media have unveiled the star talent on board for the sci-fi adventure Metal Hurlant Chronicles, among them Rutger Hauer.
Hauer (Blade Runner, Sin City, Hitcher) joins Scott Adkins (The Expendables 2, The Bourne Supremacy, X-men Origins), Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite, Blood and Bones, Spawn), Joe Flanigan (Stargate Atlantis, Warehouse 13, CSI) and James Marsters (Buffy, Angel, Smallville, Torchwood). Further cast announcements will be made at the end of the year.

Metal Hurlant Chronicles is an adaptation of the science-fiction comic books of the same name. The TV treatment for the sci-fi/action graphic novels is led by Guillaume Lubrano and produced by France's WE Productions and Humanoids with Pierre Spengler (Superman) and Fabrice Giger. Worldwide distribution is held by Panini U.K. Media. The first two seasons, each 12x30 minutes, will be delivered in April 2012 and November 2012, respectively.

Of course I've never heard of Metal Hurlant Chronicles, it sounds a little like someone who has eaten something that didn't agree with them.... :lol: but with that cast it has a chance to be good. I wonder if it will ever come to the States ?

It's supposed to be something like The Twiight Zone as far as being individual unrelated episodes. Each has its own "star". I don't think it's meant for US tv networks right now, but I'm pretty sure I will get to see it someday.
