As we reported earlier, Fox announced its schedule for next year yesterday. One of the series given a green light for a mid-season run is the small-screen adaptation of the graphic novel, “Human Target.”
Starring Mark Valley, who featured in several episodes of “Fringe” this year, as a bodyguard who masquerades as his clients in order to draw out the bad guys. The series will get a prime debut after the NFL playoffs in January according to Fox and the first episode will feature a guest-star appearance by Tricia Helfer.
Based on the popular DC Comics graphic novel the series also stars Chi McBride (”Pushing Daisies”) and Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley (”Watchmen”).
Here’s a sneak preview of the series from MTV:
This is the second time the Human Target has come to the small screen. In 1992 Rick Springfield stared as Christopher Chance aka the Human Target on ABC.
*yawn*
How, exactly, does Mark Valley masquerade as Tricia Helfer? I just can't wrap my brain around that one
I thought it was the second attempt to bring it to television myself. But whats this on IMDB saying a 1974 date. Looks like it was released in Australia? Though we can never fully trust IMDB.
