Quote:

MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Wentworth Miller, “The Human Stain”) is a desperate man in a desperate situation. His brother, LINCOLN BURROWS (Dominic Purcell, “John Doe,” “Blade: Trinity”), is on death row and scheduled to die in a few months for a murder Michael is convinced Lincoln did not commit. With no other options and time winding down, Michael holds up a bank to get himself incarcerated alongside his brother in Fox River State Penitentiary. Once he’s inside, we learn that Michael – a structural engineer with the blueprints for the prison – has hatched an elaborate plan to break Lincoln out and prove his innocence. Senior correctional officer BELLICK (Wade Williams, “Collateral”) offers some prison wisdom as Michael arrives. Then, with the help of his cellmate, SUCRE (Amaury Nolasco, “Mr. 3000”), Michael begins to align himself with a disparate group of prisoners, including former mob boss JOHN ABRUZZI (Peter Stormare, “Fargo,” “Minority Report”) and CHARLES WESTMORELAND (Muse Watson, “I Know What You Did Last Summer”), a man some believe to be the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper. On the outside Michael has only one ally, his defense attorney and longtime friend, VERONICA DONOVAN (Robin Tunney, “The Craft,” “End of Days”) – who is Lincoln ’s former girlfriend. Meanwhile, Lincoln ’s 15-year-old son, LJ (Marshall Allman), is now adrift without his Uncle Michael’s positive influence. Rounding out the cast are Sarah Wayne Callies (“The Celestine Prophesy”) as prison doctor SARA TANCREDI, whom Michael ends up visiting more often than he should, and Stacy Keach (“Titus,” “Mike Hammer”) as the powerful WARDEN POPE, who forges a close, almost father-son relationship with the new convict. This intriguing new series promises to reveal additional pieces of the puzzle each week as Michael carries out his daring plan to mastermind the ultimate PRISON BREAK – and solve the far-reaching national-scale conspiracy that landed him there in the first place.

Ooo, "jaw dropping" is always good!

own worst enemy · 06-26-2005, 09:29 PM

Like the finale of Alias, jaw-dropping.

Kismet16 · 06-26-2005, 09:52 PM

Wow glad there's a thread for this show. I'm looking forward to this and AD this fall.

Welcome!

mysocalledlife · 06-27-2005, 01:28 AM

Wow, i can't wait to see it, Robin Tunney and the guy from Popular, can'ta wait, can't wait!

I love the premise of the show when I read it online. Then I saw a commercial for it and it just looked weird. But I think the commercials have changed because now they look really interesting. This is one of the few shows that I'm really excited about.

The guy from Popular?

Firestar007 · 06-27-2005, 07:03 AM

Looking forward to seeing the show, ever since I first saw the commercial for the show I said I wanted to see it. Looks very interesting.

I found an article that mentions creator Paul Scheuring has planned the entire season out and knows where season two is going to go.

The Gainesville Sun

Quote:

Paul Scheuring, creator of "Prison Break," agrees. "I come from features ('A Man Apart'), where the stories are closed-ended - it's all about getting to the ending. The interesting thing about TV is that it's about never getting to the ending."

Hence, Scheuring continues, "I had to know where this is going. If this goes 50 episodes, that's roughly a 2,200-page script, ultimately. I definitely know where we're going. When I laid out the entire season for the network, they were shocked, actually. I even offered to tell them what happens in season two."

Scheuring's show is unique in that if it continues into a second season, it will become a different drama altogether - more of a "Fugitive"-type show as the sundry characters who escape from the prison go their separate ways and attempt to elude those pursuing them.

Oh and apparently the pilot is on the internet already.

That sounds great.

I am glad that they are overly prepared with the future of the series, and I hope Fox gives it a chance. It honestly sounds teriffic, and with Everwood moving to Thursday, I have no conflicts with watching it.

jthorton17 · 06-27-2005, 08:34 AM

This actually appears to be pretty interesting. Snuck up on me and I hadn't heard anything about it. I'll definitely check this out though.

Kismet16 · 06-27-2005, 08:37 AM

The basic plots sounds interesting enough so as long as Fox promotes it enough I think it has a chance.

It's good to know the show is all planned out. I think it will benefit the pacing of the story.
