AKA Jessica Jones Gets A Writer, May Hit Screens By Next Fall

Twilight? Oh dear. An Alias TV show would be awesome, but it's connection to Twilight makes me instantly think of it being a teeny Smallville type of thing. Even if it's not, you'd think they could find a better writer! :P

Kinda sad its not a Luke Cage show.. think Iron Fist will be in this?

This should at least be on showtime or hbo so we can get our f-bombs in.

I think Holly Marie Combs would be an interesting choice.

I like the character.Besides her Twilight work, I like the writer from Dexter.

So, does anyone think they'll need to rewrite a lot of her story, as several of the characters in it are involved with other projects or are at other studios?

Peter Parker
The Purple Man
Daredevil
Ms. Marvel
Jean Grey
The Avengers
Scott Lang
Luke Cage

Hell NO! Jessica Jones is for an HBO series not an ABC.
They're even using the Twilight screen player...

This sounds so very uninteresting.

TWILIGHT cough cough, I mean TWI-SH1TE SUCKS! ; P

Anyways [frick] this we need a...

PUNISHER HBO SERIES MARVEL!

DUSHKU IS YUMMY.

I loved Jessica Jones when she was on the MAX imprint. She was insane and bitter and awesome. She solved crime, which is cool.

Then she became Luke Cage's baby momma and she strated showing up in every damn book BMB wrote.

Oh, and
Michelle Monoghan for Jessica Jones!

Im amazed that it could be airing as close as Fall 2011! They must have had these tv show plans for ages!

I wouldnt mind watching a Jessica Jones tv show. I always thought a movie about her would be pointless but a tv show could work, as long as they keep far away from a Smallville vibe for the show. And as you said Ror, it could link into a Heroes for Hire show so well!

My idea is, that this tv show begins airing next Fall, if it is successful, it runs for 5 seasons at the least and 10 seasons at most (if Smallville can do it, anything can!)

Then meanwhile, they can do a big screen Luke Cage movie & Iron Fist movie in 2014 or something. Then introduce the same actor who played Luke Cage on the big screen in Jones' series in the fourth or fifth season and then make a Heroes for Hire spin-off from Jones' series with the actors from the "Cage" and "Fist" movies

Although the one major problem would be if they will or wont include Daredevil or Purple Man because Im guessing they still belong to Fox, so that could be a problem

@tazmaniak
Erm, Ms. Marvel, The Avengers, Scott Lang , Luke Cage are all owned by Marvel & Marvel are doing this tv series so that wouldnt be a problem but your right about the rest, in relation to them, some of her story would have to be re-written

In reference to the other series they are going to make, I would like to see a Cloak & Dagger tv series but Im still completely against a Hulk tv series, I still think its a huge mistake. I do still agree with LEEE, a Punisher series could be amazing if it is done completely right. Better than anymore movie failures

Why not Ms. Marvel or someone good. What a waste.

On the white baby...
Dude I ws that color at sized and I'm a Medium chocolate now. It's are that new born black babies are really dark. it takes a few weeks

Quite happy for Alias to hit a TV show, hell it's this kind of book that would suit TV better. Hell even calling it AKA Jessica Jones could work because we cant just call the bloody thing Alias because the people will be like "WHAT!? I THOUGHT THEY CANCELED THAT!?" it'd be like if a new show came out in 4 years called Lost.

However a bit skeptical about the Writer. And when I say skeptical I mean. OH GOD RUN!!!


Wait....she's done a bit of Dexter? Eh not hyped but good on them if they actually make the dam thing!

Who cares? Seriously. "Jessica who?" is what most comic book fans are saying. Doesn't bode well for an audience if you can't even garner enough of those let alone the mainstream viewer.

What a waste of effort. Who among you wouldn't rather they spent all that time and money developing a series about a more mainstream character that most folks are familiar with? What's next, Brother Vodoo? Paste Pot Pete?

I just can't understand why anyone would be angry about this. You don't like/haven't heard of Jessica Jones? Who gives a shit! Someone does/has. Just because they are making this, doesn't mean they won't make the characters YOU want to see aswell at some point. Personally I have read a few issues of Alias and that's about it, but if done right I think this has potential to be a great show. And yes, some cameos would be nice too.

Interesting.

It seems like a weird concept. They aren't doing a show about the heroes. Instead they are doing a show about a friend of the heroes. himmmm


Anyway I'll definitely give this a fair chance, just because it's Marvel.

Meanwhile I can't help but wonder if there will be any nifty cameos and guest stars. Maybe Luke Cage? Iron Fist? Daredevil? Nah.. they can't do DD sadly. But there's a lot of potential.

Yes, and those shows are coming..possibly all of em! Just because a character isn't "high profile" doesn't mean they won't be well received, or that it won't be really good. A show focusing on Jones is a good spin to put on the usual super hero story.
