22nd July - Casting Press Release
SEAN TEALE, GEORGINA HAIG AND EDDIE RAMOS TO STAR IN SYFY'S FUTURISTIC THRILLER PILOT "INCORPORATED"
PEARL STREET FILMS, CBS TELEVISION STUDIOS AND UNIVERSAL CABLE PRODUCTIONS PRODUCING
NEW YORK - July 22, 2015 - Syfy announced today that Sean Teale (Reign), Georgina Haig (Once Upon a Time) and Eddie Ramos (Teen Wolf) have been tapped to star in Incorporated, a futuristic espionage thriller pilot from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Pearl Street Productions, CBS Television Studios and Universal Cable Productions.
Set in a future where companies have seemingly unlimited power, Incorporated centers around Ben Larson, a young executive who risks everything to infiltrate the all-controlling corporate world and save the woman he loves. In the process, he will take on the entire system -- with deadly consequences.
Ben (Teale) is married to Laura (Haig), a successful plastic surgeon who's also the daughter of Ben's boss. While Ben and Laura make their home in the lush, manicured Green Zone of the well-to-do, Theo (Ramos) dwells in the dangerous, poverty-stricken Red Zone, and may provide a surprising connection to Ben's past. In a high-stakes world where the ethical boundaries we know have been completely redrawn, how far is Ben willing to go -- and what happens if he fails?
A London native, Sean Teale recently played Conde on The CW's Reign and Franco on Mr. Selfridge. Beginning his career on the British series Skins, Teale also appeared in James McTeigue's indie feature Survivor and Lifetime mini-series The Red Tent. Teale is repped by WME, Circle of Confusion and Waring + McKenna.
Georgina Haig's television credits include Elsa, of Disney's Frozen, in ABC's Once Upon A Time, Reckless on CBS, Fringe on FOX, Paula Yates in the mini-series Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS, and the December Syfy event series Childhood's End. Her film credits include the recently released drug smuggling drama The Mule, The Sapphires, and Crawl, for which she won Best Actress at Screamfest. She is represented by Paradigm and Sue Barnett and Associates.
Eddie Ramos is from Queens, New York and a graduate of Syracuse University. His television credits include Teen Wolf, The Night Stalker, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Parenthood. He is represented by Garry Purdy and Mike Baldridge at Momentum Talent, and TJ Stein at Stein Entertainment Group.
Incorporated is created by David and Alex Pastor (Selfless, The Last Days), who wrote and will direct the pilot. Ted Humphrey (The Good Wife) will serve as executive producer/showrunner, with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Todd also executive producing. Pearl Street Film's Margaret Chernin will serve as associate producer.

6th April - Ordered to Pilot
SYFY GREENLIGHTS "INCORPORATED" TO PILOT
MATT DAMON AND BEN AFFLECK'S PEARL STREET FILMS TO PRODUCE WITH CBS TELEVISION STUDIOS AND UNIVERSAL CABLE PRODUCTIONS
NEW YORK - April 6, 2015 - Syfy announced today it has greenlit to pilot Incorporated, a futuristic espionage thriller from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Pearl Street Productions, CBS Television Studios and Universal Cable Productions. Set in a future where companies have unlimited power, Incorporated tells the story of executive Ben Larson, forced to change his identity in order to infiltrate a cut-throat corporate world, to save the woman he loves. In the process, he will take on the entire system - with deadly consequences.
Created by David and Alex Pastor (Selfless, The Last Days), who wrote and will direct the pilot, the dystopian future of the show reflects contemporary trends: the growing influence of corporations and private interests in Washington, the slow but steady dismantling of the public sector, and the increase of an amazing amount of wealth by an ever shrinking minority. Incorporated will explore these issues via suspense, action, complex characters and a dark sense of humor, plunging viewers into a future world where the ethical boundaries that we know have been completely redrawn.
Ted Humphrey (The Good Wife) will serve as executive producer/showrunner, with Damon, Affleck and Jennifer Todd also executive producing. Pearl Street Film's Margaret Chernin will serve as associate producer.
"Syfy is working with the best talent in the business to develop the most provocative and smart science fiction programming, and we are delighted to be partnering with Matt, Ben and Jennifer, along with the creative minds of the Pastor brothers and Ted on this pilot," said Dave Howe, President, Syfy. "Incorporated is an electrifying example of what science fiction does best: holding a mirror to present realities and projecting forward to a recognizable future in which we face the impact and consequences of our actions."
Said Damon and Affleck: "Incorporated provides us distinct insight into a world dictated by our decisions today. Viewers will delve into the intricacies of our future, one that we are constantly warned of, but as a society have not yet explored. We believe this is an important and timely story to tell and can think of no one better to guide us into this than David, Alex and Ted."

I feel like I've seen this a million times.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit action-less, but let's wait for some trailers and stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'll wait and see.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting, but vague.
ReplyDeleteEspionage is always something I will tune into so there's that, but I'm not sure I'm seeing the SciFi elements other than being set in the future.. Wait and see how casting and production goes...
I felt it was not Dystopian enough, while reading the description though, but I don't care about either Ben Afleck or Matt Damon though tbh. Also, the fact that is on SyFy I already have low expectations.
ReplyDeleteI almost missed the fact it was set in a Dystopian future the first time I skimmed the synopsis... I also agree about Ben and Matt, they do not add any positives or negatives for me since they are not onscreen... Thankfully.
ReplyDelete*Shrug*
Sy Fy are pretty hit and miss, Defiance and 12 Monkeys are good but then you have Olympus.
ReplyDeleteMainy interested in the " he will take on the entire system" part.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to have some interesting elements that could work in it's favour. I'll wait and see as I think it's one of those shows where execution and long term planning will indeed be a key factor.
ReplyDeleteComing from Damon and Affleck, the one thing we know for sure is that it won't be right wing propaganda.
ReplyDeleteSounds a lot of the movie time lol
ReplyDeleteThis is either gonna be genius, or another forgettable show that shouldn't have even started.
ReplyDeleteThis should be neat, didn't catch a new SyFy show in a while but like both Sean and Georgina. I'll decide after the trailer if I go for it.
ReplyDelete"Set in a future where companies have seemingly unlimited power"
ReplyDeleteAnother sci-fi show involved this exact premise. It is/was called 'Continuum'.
Just sounds like Continuum without the time travel that made it so great. Maybe it will prove me wrong. Georgina seems to be popping up everywhere now, which is good cos I really like her.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'll wait for the promos.
ReplyDeleteNow that Netflixx (sense8) and Amazon (The Man in the high castle) are doing science fiction i don't care for syfy. I will only watch The Expanse because it's a space show.
ReplyDeleteIf it goes to series then it's worth trying the pilot to see if it's any good..
