Press Release: Starz Confirms Outlander Series for Spring 2014
Starz Officially Greenlights New Original Series "Outlander" From "Battlestar Galactica" Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore
Network Will Team up with Sony Pictures TV
Series Based on Diana Gabaldon's International Best-Selling Novels
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Starz Chief Executive Officer, Chris Albrecht, announced today that Starz will partner with Sony Pictures Television to greenlight "Outlander," an original series adapted from Diana Gabaldon's international bestselling books. The network has ordered 16 episodes of the series which will begin filming in Scotland this fall. It is slated to premiere in 2014.
The series adaptation for "Outlander" will be written by Ronald D. Moore ("Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," "Star Trek: The Next Generation"). Moore is best known for his work on "Battlestar Galactica," which won him a Peabody Award in 2006. Ronald D. Moore and Jim Kohlberg are executive producers of "Outlander," which is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Story Mining and Supply Company and Left Bank Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television.
"We are thrilled to be bringing 'Outlander' to Starz next year," said Chris Albrecht, CEO of Starz. "Diana has created an incredibly compelling heroine, thrust into a very complex world, not to mention, time. The books weave a fascinating tapestry of history, spirituality, love and honor, not to mention plenty of time travel, sex and warfare. With Diana's stories guiding us and Ron's mastery, we hope to bring Claire and Jamie to life for the millions of fans the world over."
Moore added, "I'm very excited to have the opportunity to bring these books to life. Diana's created a rich and textured world filled with intriguing characters, and I believe that Starz is the perfect home for her story. I think we'll make something that the millions of fans of these books will enjoy and recognize as 'Outlander.'"
Diana Gabaldon's seven-book series has sold more than 20 million copies and has graced the New York Times best-sellers list six times. The eighth installment of the "Outlander" series is slated to be released in the fall of 2013. The "Outlander" series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one grandiose tale. It follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
Starz will retain all domestic multiplatform pay TV rights to the original series.

Hmmm. Let's take a looksee:
And you know what? SO WHAT if some of the actors end up being Irish?? They're ACTORS. That's what they do. Would you rather they hit up Hollywood and get Emma Stone and Tatum Channing? Lorddddd no! (NOT that I don't love both of them...but I'm making a point.)
And you know what else? I'M IRISH! So knock it off! ;)

Hubby Tom's Voyager Update
Tom is reading chapter 50, "I Meet a Priest". Here are his thoughts (and my own.)
 |
| Doin' a little dishes... Talkin' a little Voyager. |
Then she meets Dr. something or other (Sterne, obvs)...he was obviously an Entomologist. He brought her back to the hut…and there was the crazy reverend guy and mamasita…but the reverend guy got all stoned on gange and fell asleep…
Mamasita said her dress would never fit a cow like her…thinking Claire didn't know what she was talking about…but obviously Claire speaks Spanish because she speaks every language known to man - including Swahili - because she is Claire Beauchamp in the Year of our Lord, 19xx… And she's always saying "Hold on, Beuachamp!"
 |
| Remus is the name... Bugs are NOT my game! |
Sterne reminds me of the zippity doo da guy Br'er Rabbit talks to. (ROFLMAO at this sooooo hard. How he's picturing a Jewish fellow named Sterne as Uncle Remus is beyond me.)
Even when Claire's ALONE, she's arrogant. (ROFLMAO)
We are now debating about where Jamie met Sterne.
This has been a very entertaining update for me. I hope you've enjoyed it!
