This cements how Jodie Comer has replaced Emily Blunt. This was meant for Blunt when this was supposed to be a movie.
I have an idea for the opening credits song…
I’m there for some new Damon Lindelof, watched The Leftovers, Mrs. Davis and Watchmen in the same year
And we all win
That headline got better and better with every word.
I am so fucking seated
Any readers got a sense of what to expect here?
Awesome!
Excited for this! I think it will translate really well to a limited series. I enjoyed the book, super fast read with lots of intense moments and it sparked some fun conversations in a “what would you do?” type way.
Plot, for those who are unfamiliar:
Main character discovers one day that her daughter has been kidnapped and she is now unwillingly part of “The Chain.” The only way to free her daughter is to kidnap another child, who she will have to hold until that family kidnaps a child – all continuing the chain.
One of my favourite actors and one of my favourite show runners? I am IN.
“Limited Series”.
For now?
Though given Lindelof’s recent TV work, every season finale can easily double as a series finale.
I read this book a few months back. It’s an incredible premise. It can definitely make for a very exciting season, but there were also moments that strained credibility pretty far, and got slightly more ridiculous as the story went on. Kind of a change for him, no scifi/genre elements at all, it’s pure pulp, but if this is what Lindelof wants to do, I’m fully on board. It’ll be really interesting to see if he gives it The Leftovers treatment and expands beyond the book for more seasons. It has a pretty cut and dry ending so he’d have to change some stuff to make it possible.
I like all of the words in this headline, I’m already in without reading the article.
Just get ready for a lot to be absolutely ambiguous. Lindelof hates you.
As a big fan of the author, and Damon Lindelof, color me excited!
>Lindelof is writer, executive producer and showrunner of The Chain
Say no more. I’m in.
Oh I’m excited for this one!
Very excited for this, but I’m still pissed Amazon canceled his show Mrs. Davis. It was such a weird, crazy, cooky show, but damn I loved every second of it.
The Chain as in the book? With Comer? And Lindelof? Oh I’m so sat
Read this book, this thing is gonna fucking rip
Damon Lindelof can not complete a story. Look at his track record. Just random plot threads everywhere with no conclusion. PASS
People are still hiring him?
If it’s Lindelof, I’m there for it. Lost, The Leftovers and Watchmen were all elite.
