If you’ve got Hollywood aspirations as well as an undying love for revamps of classic TV series, this might be for you. SneakPeek.ca has a breakdown of roles still left to be filled for the new Bionic Woman remake. Sorry ladies, but the role of Jaime Sommers is not one of the open ones – former Eastenders star Michelle Ryan landed that gig a while ago.
“The Bionic Woman”, a 2-hour NBC TV pilot starts shooting March 19 in Vancouver. Executive producers are David “Battlestar Galactica” Eick, Bruno Heller and Laeta Kalogridis. Director is Michael Dinner from a screenplay by Kalogridis and Heller.
According to the casting breakdown, the production is still looking for series’ regulars including:
“‘Jonas Bledsoe’, 50s-60’s, forceful and not above lying to get what he wants. He is the ruthless leader of the secret government agency that turned ‘Jaime’ into a ‘Bionic Woman’. Though furious with Eric for wasting $50 million worth of classified, illegal technology on “some girl,” Jonas decides to use Jaime to track down and retrieve the other Bionic creations who escaped.
Topping his list of fugitives is insane, deadly ‘Sarah Corvus’, whose violent break-out and subsequent revenge streak haunts Jonas to this day.
