UPDATED: Multiple sources confirm to me exclusively that ex-Smallville‘s evildoer Sam Witwer (a.k.a. Doomsday) has officially signed on to play vampire Aidan in Syfy’s in-the-works U.S. remake of the U.K. supernatural dramedy Being Human.Additionally, Meaghan Rath (The Assistants) has inked a deal to play ghost Molly, and Sam Huntington (Cavemen) is up for the role of werewolf Josh. Beautiful People‘s Ricky Mabe and Smallville‘s Aaron Ashmore had also tested for the werewolf part, but I’m told they’re no longer in the running.
Being Human revolves around three twentysomething roommates — named Mitchell, George, and Annie in the British version — who attempt to blend in despite, you know, being a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost.
It’s Three’s Company meets True Blood, and it’s a big bloody hit across the pond!
Thoughts?

Yaaaaaay! The only hightlight of this pointless remake so far.
ReplyDeleteSw- loved him as Davis Bloome/Doomsday. I actually think he would play the role better than BBC's Mitchell role. XD

Yay! I meant to boycott the US Version but now I have to watch...
ReplyDeleteWhy the hellfire can't people ever just enjoy the original version? Why must awesome shows be remade just because they are different than the audience they are playing to? As a Canuck I LOVE the BBC version and am appalled by the idea of remaking it just to pander to the masses! Why not just enjoy the original Bristol crew that created the hit?
