美剧新剧时间：只关注DRIVE

    看上面这海报，熟悉的人立即明白了FOX台也准备玩Heroes和Lost之类的东西了。13个来头不同的人，我们完全有理由相信其背后的关系比Heroes和Lost更加错综复杂。看了一下Drive的剧情，太吸引人了（FOX很喜欢玩这些很炫的东西），对它的期待甚至超过07秋季的Mr. and Mrs. Smith电视剧版。
    去年秋季追了四个新剧Heroes, Day Break, Justice和Standoff，居然被砍掉一半，甚至还出现了半路上未播先砍的事。这次我吸取教训就只追一部，希望别再被砍了。题外话，ABC已经把整季Day Break放在了官网上供大家在线收看（tv.com上这几集的评分都已经有了，均为9.xx），估计还有出DVD的可能。只要能出DVD，网上就肯定有种，大家就有希望看到后面几集。根据官网的FAQ，Day Break在第一季这十几集里是圆满结束了的。2007.03.30补充：网上已经有WebRip了，各个字幕组都在工作了，不久就可以看到了。
    Drive定于4月15和16日8点（中部时间7点）两天三小时首播。下面是官方网站上的介绍。更多消息见http://www.fox.com/drive。

The next time you’re cut off by crazed drivers on your way to work, give them a little slack. They could be racing for their lives.

DRIVE is an action-fueled drama following a diverse group of Americans competing for their lives (or the lives of their loved ones) in an illegal, underground cross-country road race. Some of them have been coerced into joining “The Race”; others have sought out The Race themselves, hearing rumors of the $32-million prize. Each has a reason to compete. And each must win.

ALEX TULLY (Nathan Fillion, “Firefly,” “Slither”) is thrust into The Race in an effort to find his missing wife. New mother WENDY PATRAKAS (Melanie Lynskey) is on the run from her husband and competing for the safety of her newborn baby – or possibly something much more extraordinary. JOHN TRIMBLE (Dylan Baker) is a buttoned-down scientist who embraces The Race as the last chance to show his rebellious 15-year-old daughter VIOLET (Emma Stone) that he can be spontaneous. WINSTON SALAZAR (Kevin Alejandro) views The Race as an opportunity to leave his criminal past behind and bond with SEAN (J.D. Pardo), the half-brother he has only just met. Hurricane Katrina survivors IVY CHITTY (Taryn Manning, “Hustle & Flow”), LEIGH BARNTHOUSE (Rochelle Aytes) and SUSAN CHAMBLEE (Michael Hyatt) are determined to start their lives over and help rebuild their fallen city with The Race’s winnings. ELLIE HOWE (Mircea Monroe) sees The Race as an opportunity to keep her boyfriend, military specialist ROB LAIRD (Riley Smith), from being sent back to Iraq. And CORINNA WILES (Kristin Lehman), who becomes an uneasy partner with Alex, is a gorgeous and mysterious stowaway who may well hold the key to the secrets of “The Race” and its mysterious benefactors.

Although MR. BRIGHT (Charles Martin Smith), The Race liaison, has informed them that there are other competitors, the group does not know exactly whom they’re racing against, or even where the finish line is. With each mile clocked, the drivers get closer – not only to the end of the road and a critical, life-changing victory, but to understanding the mystery behind The Race itself.

Created, executive-produced and written by Tim Minear and Ben Queen, DRIVE is a 20th Century Fox Television Production. Greg Yaitanes serves as an executive producer and director.

    btw，昨天看了一部电影，The Illusionist，相当好看。
