Alex O’Loughlin, who stars in CBS’ vampire-detective series Moonlight, told SCI FI Wire that he’s a fan of the work of author Anne Rice and that he kept her books and characters in mind while filming the pilot.
This does not bode well. The show already seems sort of derivative to me — if not of Angel, as has been mentioned here and there, then certainly of Forever Knight. Or even the other immortal detective show coming next fall. Oh well, at least it’s got the lovely Sophia Myles and David Greenwalt as executive producer. It might also be interesting to see Jason Dohring in a post-Veronica Mars role.
Update, 7/31: And David Greenwalt’s off the project. That doesn’t bode well at all.
