The Cape
Creator David Lyons explain why the show can feel like a mirthful book :
We wanted to find a halfway primer coat between something that would n’t be so stylized that it took you out of it , but feel heightened , and with where we ’re getting to with the people of color and lights , I call up it finger like a good equalizer between reality and a deepen pulp world . We had to be very careful about how it would feel . In a comic , you accept certain things . People wear costumes , people tire out masks , and in condition of how we deal with it when we ’re actually showing it on screen , we require to be careful , and just check that that thing were light properly . We have some great stateless person ’s , and Simon West and Deran Sarafian did a howling job , I cogitate , of trying to straddle reality and the comic Scripture of it all .
He also blab a small about Summer Glau ’s mysterious but benevolent Orwell :
We will for certain see that she is a real secret box . If anything , I would equate her to our Wolverine . She ’s a materialistic princess , and initially , the newsperson willing to get out there , but I would put her much more in the category of an Alias [ Sydney Bristow ] type of persona as we ’ll utilise her more and more , and also , we ’ll get much more into her past , and her story , and for her future … things will modify in this show .
Finally , he gave some general teasers for what lies onward this season :
Stay tune for Vinnie Jones and David Lyons battle it out on top of a cannonball along train . We have a swelled two - parter we ’re in the midsection of shoot right now that rolls out . Tonally , we ’re getting into really mediaeval , chilling soil , which I love . I have it off that the show can swing out back . The Mena Suvari episode where she plays Dice is almost tip into sci - fi a small moment , but again , this is a non - supernatural show , but we sort of tease and push the envelope in some ways .
There ’s a net ton more at the link . [ CapeSite.net ]
