Con Man Screen_Shot_2015-09-16_at_9.38.49_AM-77de8511e9c2efe7495232ff56accf93NEW YORK (September 30, 2015) – Con Man premieres exclusively on Vimeo On Demand today. Three new episodes of the series will premiere every Wednesday for four weeks.Con Man is now available to rent for $14.99 at Vimeo.com/OnDemand/ConMan.

Con Man centers on the post-show life of Wray Nerely (Alan Tudyk) the co-star of “Spectrum,” a sci-fi series, which was canceled before its time and went on to become a cult classic beloved by fans. Wray’s good friend, Jack Moore (Nathan Fillion) starred as the series Captain and has gone on to become a major celebrity, while Wray (Tudyk) hasn’t found his desired level of stardom. Wray is the begrudging guest of sci-fi conventions, comic book store appearances, and different pop culture events; however, everything is not as it seems from the outside.The series will explore these events and all the weird and crazy things that happen to them along the way.

Con Man also features a plethora of Sci-Fi’s biggest personalities including: Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Amy Acker (Person of Interest), Gina Torres (Firefly, Suits), Sean Maher (Firelfly, Eastsiders), Felicia Day (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Seth Green (Family Guy/Austin Powers), Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers), Jewel Staite, (Firefly), Summer Glau (Firefly, Terminator: SCC), Sean Astin (Lord of The Rings), James Gunn and Joss Whedon.

Con Man was funded via Indiegogo, resulting in a record-breaking 3.2 million dollar campaign. With the support of over 46,000 fans from around the world, Con Man now stands as the third highest funded film campaign on any crowdfunding platform ever.

Con Man is executive produced by PJ Haarsma, Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion

#Blindspot

A body covered in meaningful, and useful to the plot, tattoos is not a first… think Prison Break.  But there are significant differences.  In Blindspot they are on a woman who has no memory, a person who is rediscovering herself — and it is likely a safe assumption each week she will uncover the meaning of another one of the marks on her body.

In the first episode not 1 but 3 of the tattoos were revealed to have meaning, we also discovered that there was a particularly heavily inked area that was covering up a tattoo she had before… whatever life-changing event happened to leave her with no memory and a body covered like a treasure map full of clues.

With the “back 9” episodes having been ordered to script, it looks like we can safely hope for a complete first season of Blindspot, which hopefully means a satisfying arc, with a few answers along the way.

The cast includes Jaimie Alexander (“Thor: The Dark World,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), Sullivan Stapleton (“300: Rise of an Empire,” “Strike Back”), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“Broadchurch,” “Without a Trace”), Rob Brown (“Treme”), Audrey Esparza (“Black Box”), Ukweli Roach (“The Royals”) and Ashley Johnson (“Much Ado About Nothing”).

Mr. Robot

The Hollywood Reporter shared in an article today:

“The previously filmed season finale of Mr. Robot contains a graphic scene similar in nature to today’s tragic events in Virginia. Out of respect to the victims, their families and colleagues, and our viewers, we are postponing tonight’s episode. Our thoughts go out to all those affected during this difficult time,” the network said in a statement.

It is unfortunate how often art not only imitates life, but life now imitates art in the least becoming of ways.  Kudos to USA Network for recognizing the scenes in tonight’s scheduled episode would hit too close to home, not only for those who were directly affected by today’s events, but for those who may have been watching that interview when the events took place.

Waiting until Sept 2 to air the season finale, and re-airing a critical episode of Mr. Robot feels like a both considerate and responsible decision on the part of the network.  This is not the first time a television show, or network, has found itself in the position of needing to make such a decision — but we can wish it was the last.
