"Powers is a PlayStation venture about a world where people with special abilities, referred to as Powers, aren't just heroes. They're also mischievous and sometimes murderous and sometimes just fame-seekers. So, it's a lot like the real world. The show focuses on two homicide detectives assigned to cases involving individuals with exceptional abilities. And one of those detectives, Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley), used to be a Power himself before his gift of flight was mysteriously taken from him. Superheroes are cool and all, obviously, but we've got a lot of those kinds of stories being produced these days. The edgy feel of Powers seems like a nice change, as long as it doesn't get too cynical on us. But honestly, we're most excited for Sharlto Copley. If you saw the American remake of Oldboy or caught him in Elysium, you know he can spin sweet lemonade out of whatever lemons he's given. And when he's got great source material to work with, a la District 9, he's a complete powerhouse. So no matter what, he should be awesome. Let's hope the show follows suit. And with Eddie Izzard and Noah Taylor as co-stars, we're feeling pretty good about the whole thing." YouTube link Amicalement Armand |
