Being Human discussion

"The rumour mill is working overtime with talk of an American remake of Being Human so we here at the BH Blog thought we'd get to the bottom of it. We spoke to Executive Producer Rob Pursey and asked for the latest news...

"You've probably heard that there will be an American version of Being Human. We think it's a testament to the power of our series that another version will happen. It will be different, though it will be recognisable. We hope it will be brilliant, and we hope you like it when it comes. But it won't affect the show we are making here and now."

Writers, casting and storylines are yet to be confirmed, but you can expect thirteen episodes coming to American screens soon. And don't worry, it's not going to impact on the British show so you can still expect a full quality second series when it airs here in the UK at the start of 2010. "

My first thought? They are gonna screw it up...

my thoughts are the same, they are gonna mess it up.
can't they just leave things alone?????

Its rare that the american version ever lives up to BBC. There are way to many restrictions! (eleventh hour, as an example!)

I agree with everyone but I will still keep up hope that it will actually be GOOD. I hope they cast hot guys.

My initial thoughts are: just leave it alone.
Why do we have to have a remake? Just watch the original.

Anyone heard any more about this?

I haven't. And I hope they just leave it alone. American remakes are always flashy and trashy.

k I just saw the hint on SyFy that Being Human is coming to that station. Whether that is the remake, or since they do replay BBC shows (IE Dr. Who) we'll see!

I saw the same thing, so I looked it up on the News section of scifi.com and the only thing it has is about a remake. Filming soon and will be on sometime this year.
I don't care who they cast, nobody will ever be as hot as Aidan Turner as Mitchell.

^ lol agreed! I'm still curious though...

If they ruin it, I want to bitch.

If they do a good job, I want to say I loved the series back when and feel all superior as I sit quietly in my room alone.

I'll check it out just to see how it is.

Maybe, but I don't see why they'd want it. And there's always the 'season' DVDs.

I don't buy season DVDs anyway, too much money, I'd rent them.
