Lena Heady Cast in Ultra
Source: Variety
February 14, 2006


Lena Headey ("Imagine Me & You," "The Brothers Grimm") has joined the cast of CBS' Ultra as Penny, reports Variety.

Ultra, from CBS Paramount Network TV, revolves around a female superhero who must contend with saving the world while pursuing a life as a single girl in the city. In the comic book, which parodies celebrity magazines, Ultra's alter ego, Pearl Penalosa, is a semi-icon who graces billboards advertising popular products.

Barbara Hall will executive produce the pilot; David Engel and David Alpert are co-executive producers.

They had me at Lena Heady, but chained me to the bedpost (um, couch) with 'female superhero'. Plus, semi-icon and billboards equals Lena glamour shots, yay! Now lets only hope that she has a best friend/side kick and that there relationship has an undercurrent of sexual tension. Could this finally make up the hole the demise of 'Birds of Prey' left in my femslashy heart (with the added bonus of being intentionally funny)? I hope so.

In honour of Lena news







With Piper *squee* - Ahhh Luce and Rachel go on their first vacation together and visit an Icelandic Pub!







Ohhhhh, geeky pretty! Also, if Dan Radcliffe ever needs a prettier stand in for Harry Potter ... damn, that Lena is talented!




Okay, I gotta stop looking at the pretty and go to work now ...

Gah! Lena! Superheros! TV. Gaaaaaaaah!

That was pretty much my reaction. Okay, maybe there was some drooling too.

The pretty. It hurts my eyes. I sat through Gossip and The Cave for the woman, you'd better believe I'm sitting through her TV show, no matter how BAD it is.

Word. I used to have Gossip on tape and despite its horribleness would watch it every once in a while for the pretty. And "The Cave" with the combined hotness of Piper and Lena was too much to resist. And god did I pay for my weakness with that one. Man, it was like being punched in the stomach repeatedly after eating way to much chocolate, it HURT! But there was 'teh pretty' and thank god she was in it til the end (or maybe damn her for being in it to the end so that I couldn't turn it off 45 min. in!)

But will she use her "American" accent in it? That's the real question.

I can't remember what her american accent sounds like, I haven't heard it in so long. Does she use it in Brother's Grim?

I just saw "Gossip" so her fakest American accent evah is fresh in my mind. I also just saw her in "Abredeen" where she was sporting a Scottish accent, so in my head her voice is kind of wonky at the moment.

So her American accent is "Gossip" wasn't that great?

Well, that was five years ago. Let's hope that hanging out with Piper has lent a certain naturalness to it or something! *looks at the ceiling thoughtful as she considers if 'checking out Lena's ... um, accent is a good enough excuse to rent 'Gossip'*

Rent Gossip! Do it. DO IT. James Marsden is pretty. That's enough of an excuse, me thinks. It was an adequate accent, but there were words where she slipped. Also, ICON LOVE. Jean Grey.. uhmmmm!
