Loken spam, omg it must be a weekday!
Only two more weeks until Kristanna shows up on TLW, but for those in withdrawl here's some Painkiller Jane goodness that should help tide you over. Hi-res goodness even :D
Hi, I'm Kristanna Loken, I'm dead sexy. Janine wishes that she could think of something funny, witty or sexy to add, but she's too busy staring at my insane hotness to think coherently. Honestly, I can't blame her, I am totally slammin'.
Oooh, co-executive producer status means that I totally have like a shitload of creative control. I'm totally gonna make Jane make out with a girl!
What do you mean Carly Pope has a job playing a lesbian on another show? Did you tell her how dead sexy I am? Check and see if Jill Wagner or Jessica Gower are still hanging around? No? Okay, okay, don't panic. What's Dina Meyer doing? Her entire filmography is B-grade action movies she'll fit in perfectly over here!
Loken Feels No Pain In Jane (from scifi.com)
Kristanna Loken, who stars in the upcoming SCI FI Channel original series Painkiller Jane, told SCI FI Wire that she got excited after reading the comic book on which it is based: so much so that she also signed on as executive producer. "I read the comic and fell in love with the depth of the comic-book character," Loken said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 12. "It just had so many different levels: the pain and the healing and the kind of eternal question of 'why is this happening to me?' is a very human statement. So then I read [executive producer] Gil's [Grant] wonderful first episode and wanted to come up and work also as a co-exec."
In the series, Loken plays a DEA agent who is recruited by a covert government organization tasked with capturing "Neuros"—genetically enhanced individuals who possess superhuman powers of the mind. During the course of her first investigation with the team, Jane inexplicably discovers that she too possesses extraordinary abilities: She is impervious to injury, but not pain. She develops miraculous regenerative powers, healing from every injury and finding herself stronger than she had been before. As she continues to work with the government to hunt Neuros, Jane tries to uncover the cause of her own transformation and what, if any, connection she shares with the very people she is pursuing.
In her dual role as co-executive-producer, Loken also oversees a lot of the day-to-day creative issues while she's on set. "It's been double duty," she said. "It really has been a whole extra job, because lots of questions come to me, and I'm really one of the creative producers on set all the time. So a lot of story points come up or set design things or [whatever]. I don't know, ... you just try to stay present and do as much as you can."
Loken, who also starred in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, is no stranger to action roles, nor to SCI FI Channel, having appeared in last year's miniseries Dark Kingdom. She said that she has always been attracted to films that exploit her strong physique. "I think it's just a physical awareness," she said." A lot of people seem to be kind of disconnected from their bodies. I mean, I just have the physique. It just lends itself, so I think it was something I wanted to embrace. ... If you find something you're good at and maybe not many people can do it, then by God, go for it."
Still, Loken has found that shooting a regular weekly action series is a far different experience from the action films she's done. "It's grueling," she said. "We've started our fourth [episode]. The wonderful thing is you have more time to make an [arc] of a character and explore the character, which is a luxury you don't have with film. It is grueling, though. It's a grueling schedule, for sure." Painkiller Jane premieres in April on SCI FI. —Cindy White

Of course you do! How could you not? LOL.
I also love that the series doesn't even slightly resemble the (tv) movie. :)
Bwah! Yeah me too. The TV movie wasn't horrible for a SciFi original movie (which are usually horribly painful), but it wasn't really good either.
I mean, I'll be up front and say I don't like Emanuelle Vaugnier that much (she's weird looking, runs funny, has one facial expression, doesn't look like she could fold a lawn chair, and she had stupid hair in the movie). And the whole thing with the theif with the heart of gold and his gang of ragamuffin lovable sidekicks felt horribly contrived (I know, I know he was played by McSteamy but I dont' care), and well, I can't remember how it ended but I'm sure it was stupid.
I reset is definately a good thing, and I love that well be seeing some other
mutants, I meanmetahumans, I mean Neuros. I like that Jane isn't just a brainless soldier in this either who will repeat "must follow orders" until I bang my head against a blunt object. DEA agent means analytic skills which are sexy.no subject
In all her Nordic beauty, you'd have to be blind.
...but it wasn't really good either.
Oh, come on. It had no cheese-tastic flying insects or crazy plagues, horrible animations or people getting folded in half and eaten by abdominable snowpeople. Okay, I'm only citing what I've seen on The Soup.
I can't remember how it ended but I'm sure it was stupid.
I'm not saying the tv series isn't an improvement on the movie, it's just weird why they didn't scrap the entire title and start fresh since it has nothing else in common with the movie. I could do without them being called "Neuros", as well as the DEA hunting these mutants...last time I checked DEA stood for Drug Enforcement Agency. Why couldn't they just say, CIA or a black ops division of a secret federal agency...

*learned nod* I concur.

And yet it still managed to be only mildly entertaining. And that's not even taking Tate Donovan into consideration! ;)
I'm not saying the tv series isn't an improvement on the movie
I don't know that either, but I'm hoping that it will be. I mean, it honestly wouldn't take much to make it better than the TV movie. Plus, the fact that it has Kristanna Loken automatically makes it a 'little' better right off the bat ;)
, it's just weird why they didn't scrap the entire title and start fresh since it has nothing else in common with the movie.
I'm guessing they just want to keep the name for street cred. I mean, other than the name Jane and her superpowers, neither the show nor the movie have much in common with the comic, so the changes couldn't have been made to keep it more in line with the comics. If anything I think the show gets farther away from the comic orgins.
I don't understand television networks.
ast time I checked DEA stood for Drug Enforcement Agency. Why couldn't they just say, CIA or a black ops division of a secret federal agency...
So true. Unless they think a drug is responsible for these people's abilities. Still, the DEA seems kind of pedestrian to investigate something like that. You'd think the gov't would want to keep wraps on it and assign APO or the Impossible Missions Force to it or something.
Oh well, Kristanna Loken hitting people. Logic or no logic, I'll be there.

Maybe Kristanna could "accidently" stomp on the vibrator at the beginning of the episode so that it can't be used for the rest of it, and then Carly can corrupt the DEA agent with the power of her magic va-jay jay.

Newbie DEA Agent Jane (Kristanna Loken) and her team break into Dirt editor Lucy Spiller's (Courtney Cox) condo, looking for the reclusive drug-dealing mastermind Garbo (Carly Pope). After tossing the place for any clue to where they can find Garbo, Jane smashes Lucy's precious vibrator which causes the reluctant journalist to final give up her source. The team decides an undercover job is probably the best way to get what they need. Jane gears up to seduce Garbo, and the rest is gravy.

That's funny. I was just going to ask you if you'd heard about dirt. Have you been watching? What do you think? Carly's first appearance is this Tuesday.

Also, keeping Shannyn Sossamon around as a ghost wouldn't hurt either!

While Kristanna Loken is confused by her own hotness, the gay love child of Daniel Craig and Julian Sands stands alongside her.
Kristanna Loken figures out how hot she is. And is cool with it.
no subject
BWAH! It's funny cause it's true. I'd say I hope his career takes more after Pappa D, but considering he's an extra in a Kristanna Loken vehicle, he's definately Pappa J's boy.
Who's hot?
Oh, I am! *she like totally gets a gold star*

Love it! What else is there to say?
Double whammy: adorable sexyness plus she's ready to kick ass and take names.

You certainly do, Kris. You certainly do. And if you're happy to keep blessing us with your physical prowess, we'll keep watching ... no matter how bad the accents!

So true. I love the cute expression, mixed with the "hands in the pocket" of bad-assery and sex. [teen girl squad]Soooo good![/tgs]

Hi, I'm Kristanna Loken and I'm insanely hot. Oh, and about Bloodrayne, laugh all you want but I was *paid* to act in it. *You* paid to watch it!! Who's pathetic now beee-yotch!! And when I'm done making love to the camera with my eyes I'm gonna rush home and do the same to my girlfriend!
*sigh* Is it April yet? Because, you know, it's not like I've been staring at this pic while thinking of Jane/Niki crossover fics.. or Jane/Krista.. or Jane/Starbuck.. or ..
