LUNAS' ULTRA GETS GREENLIT FOR A PILOT ON CBS
by Newsarama
While DC’s Aquaman may be getting his television props from (now) The CW in the new season, and Blade is gearing up for possible life as an ongoing series on Spike, the coming television season is getting another pilot based on a comic book. According to Variety, the Luna brothers debut Image series, Ultra has been greenlighted for a pilot on CBS.
The miniseries (which gained the brothers attention from Brian Bendis and Marvel, leading to their current penciling gig on Spider-Woman: Origin) starred the workaholic super heroine, Ultra, and blurred the line between superheroes and celebrity. As such, the miniseries’ covers spoofed magazine covers, showing Ultra and her fellow heroes.
The pilot is being headed up by Barbara (Joan of Arcadia) Hill, who will executive produce, with David Engle and David Alpert as co-executive producers.
Presumably, if the pilot does well in its time slot and among its projected audience (not to mention if it has star power backing it), CBS will consider Ultra for an ongoing series.
