Melrose Place 2.0 Promo!

In vein of the recent relaunch of the 90210 franchise, The CW has also decided to relaunch 90210's sister series, Melrose Place. And like 90210, the show will continue from the previous series, featuring old characters, and new characters with ties to the old ones. 

Laura Leighton, who played Sydney Andrews in the old show will return as a recurring character, as well as Thomas Clabro, who played Michael Mancini. Talks of bringing back Heather Locklear surfaced during production but Locklear opted not to return. 

The premise of the show has been kept very top secret, but the show will follow the original formula and chronicle a group of twentysomethings dwelling in Los Angeles' trendy Melrose neighborhood.

Smallville producers, Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin will be the show-runners.

Well I was definitely a fan of the original show and I'm definitely interested to see what they do with the series. But if this is gonna be anything like the new 90210 series, then you can count me the fuck out! The new 90210 is good I guess, but it isn't anything like the original. It's basically just another teen soap with a 90210 title! 

And another thing, what's up with bringing back all these old shows/movies? Are Hollywood's writers really out of ideas? These reboots and remakes are gonna get old really fast, and I think viewers will stop tuning in as soon as that happens.

More Trouble For Smallville?

According to our sources, 2 of the 4 producers of The CW's hit show, Smallville will be departing the show. When season 7 ended, creators Al Gough & Miles Millar had left the show as well..

Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer have decided to leave the show to produce The CW's upcoming spin-off, Melrose Place 2.0.

Although a ninth season is yet to be decided, sources strongly believe that there will be at least one more year of Smallville goodness. And for fans of the show who are worried about this sudden change in the team, rest assured that the remaining producers, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson are poised to take control of the show.

I do feel a little worried with this sudden change because the show has gone through a tremendous change for the good when this team took over. Now whether or not they can maintain this momentum and quality with just 2 producers left is in question. I guess we'll all have to stay tuned and see for ourselves.
