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 ...

Date: 2006-02-14 09:30 pm (UTC)I don't blame you a bit. I dosed off during parts of it as well, and really I'm glad because I think it lessened the psychological trauma, like blacking out during a hold-up or something. Frilly heck that movie was bad *shudder*
some movies are simply beyond saving. *sigh*
So true. But I never seem to learn that lesson. I always managed to convince myself that maybe the pretty really will be enough ... but it never is (yeah, I'm looking at you "Evil Remains", "Bats", "The In Crowd", "Darkness", "The Sleeping Dictionary", "The Big Bounce", "Mindhunters", "Stealth", etc.)
