Sporkers, Slowly Taking Over The World.

My dearest Sporkers,

It is time that we banded together for something that is close to Film Sporks heart.  Make yourselves comfy and I shall spin you a wondrous tale full of adventure, intrigue, and newspapers.

Apparently this guy can fly

                                 

                               

After the jump of coarse you silly readers...

Once upon a time in 2008, there was a skinny fangirl nerd (named Jaz) who read a newspaper in her Mom's security office. Her mother recently caught a bad guy who was handcuffed and swearing and generally being quite disagreeable in the other room, when all of the sudden something caught Jaz's attention.

What is THIS, Jaz thought to herself.

There was an article in the entertainment section about an actress named Brea Grant who landed a really interesting role on  NBC's Heroes. It explained that she was a huge fan of the previous 2 seasons and had cried when she learned she won the role of Daphne. Jaz decided to google this lady and happened upon her blog/website and learned that she too was a skinny fangirl nerd and lived in a magical far off land called Los Angeles. She ended up sending an E-mail to this Brea Grant individual and they have been good friends ever since.

What can we learn from this story? Perhaps, that there ARE good people in the industry who will take the time out of their busy schedule of shooting a primetime television show to write several sweet personal E-mails to some kid they don't even know. Not only that but also give them feedback on scripts and advice on L.A life. Who the hell does that? 

This kid does.   ---->

So when it came to my attention that FX finally gave the green light to their Powers pilot I came pretty damn close to defecating in my pajama pants! Not only because the graphic novel is freaking awesome, but because my pal Ms. Brea Grant is perfect for the role of Detective Deena Pilgrim. I'm not kidding.

Just look at the similarities: 

Brea got run over by a steamroller and is all flat!

I have started a petition in the hopes that the producers will take notice and give this lovely lady an audition. If we can get her in that damn casting room I know she'll snag the role. If anyone in Hollywood deserves success, it's Brea. So how about it folks? You can sign the petition HERE and prove to the world that Sporkers take care of their own!
