i loved the trailer...i think the movie looks pretty good...and i love his hair

[Brighter Than Sunshine]

I love his hair to!

We should be finding out if 'Football Wives' will be given the green light for the 2007 fall line-up soon.

[Beatriz]

I am so afraid that we get yet another dissapointment. Ugh! *keeping fingers crossed*

[Cris]

^^ Oh, me too! I'm really hoping this one gets picked this time. It's about time to have James on our TVs again, right?

[dcluv]

yeah i hope it gets picked up too and its really successful. lately networks only seem to keep things that have these incredible ratings. i'd hate to see the show come on and then get kicked off.

but...i'm staying positive...it is james after all

[Rachel_Dawes]

Just heard James visited Israel last week. Apparently he has embraced Kabbalah.

[Beatriz]

Thank you for the news rachel It seems to be sth usual among stars lately.

[Brighter Than Sunshine]

Thank you for the news. That's kind of cool. Everybody has to believe in something.

Hey I Was Just Surfing The Net And According To The Web Site I Was On The Show Football Wives Was Indeed Picked Up By ABC. The Web Site Is Called TV.com And It Gives You All The Details About The Show. Anyway, I Thought You Fans Would Like To Know. The Site Says It Will Premier Either On June 1 Or
Sept.1. Not Sure But Go To The Site And See For Yourself.

[Beatriz]

She's right. I went to the website and searched for it (next time, the direct link to the news would be appreciated ) j/. Thank you for the info

It is true that it is in the list, but I will wait for an official confirmation by the ABC just in case.

Here you got the link:

Football wives

And the sumary:

Based on the cult British soap Footballers' Wive$, this remake chronicles the exciting and dangerous lives of three wealthy women, Donna, Tanya and Chardonnay, all wives to superstar footballers. Updated for the US by Ugly Betty's Marco Pennette, ABC's remake promises to retain the trashy, high-camp drama of the original series, whilst adding its own unique charm and flare to the premise.

The pilot is directed by House M.D.'s Bryan Singer, and is executive produced by Singer, Pennette, Chris Brancato, Bert Salke and Shed Productions.

It hasn't been picked yet. I found a blog from Brian White, one of the actors, and here is what he wrote about the show:

FOOTBALL WIVES coming to ABC this Fall???
Currently, I also have my fingers crossed for good news. On May 15th I will learn if my new 1-hour drama series for television (ABC), called "FOOTBALL WIVE$" was "picked-up" (meaning that you will see it on ABC this fall). Based on the cult BBC America soap "Footballers' Wive$", this remake chronicles the exciting and dangerous lives of a group of wealthy women, all wives to superstar footballers.
As you know, TV pilots are never a sure bet to go to series -- meaning that you may never get to see the pilot episode or the show at all. So, if you want to see this show on television this fall, then let ABC know about your desire to see this show "make it" to "series" by writing letters to the execs at ABC and tell them so:
ABC Television Studio
500 S. Buena Vista St.
Burbank, CA 91521
Attn: Football Wive$


Less than a week to know the answer! Fingers more than crossed!

[Beatriz]

Aw, how cute is that actor, asking ppl to write to the ABC? LOL! I iwsh James had a blog like that.

OK, so official countdown:

5 days until we find out if James' show has been picked up!!

*anxious*

[Cris]

Great, now we have a countdown!

Those are some pretty damn good people in the industry. Sounds very promising.

[Cris]

Yeah, that's why this time I have higher expectations about this one!
