Focus Group (with table read of pilot) for ALF Reboot in NY!

Post by BrodinZaxby »

Found this event going on, looks pretty interesting. I'm definitely going to check it out, and hey, Neve Campbell! It's happening August 23, at 9:30pm at this place called The Tank (151 W 46th St).

From the BBX Network:
This is a VIP focus group being run by the BBX (Baby Boom X) network to promote and research their new “ALF” reboot. The focus group will contain a table read of the pilot script with the cast present (which includes Neve Campbell “Scream”, “Party of Five”), as well as a Q and A with the cast, theme song selection, and exclusive promos and trailers for other BBX properties.
Give your input on the pilot and meet the cast and crew at this exciting event!

"This bold, modern update on the classic sitcom sees the cantankerous Melmac crashing at the Herbert family’s house, complicating their lives as divorced sci-fi writer dad tries to raise his depressed teenage daughter and neglected young son, all while squabbling with his literary agent as he seeks notoriety. One thing’s for sure, this will truly be out of this world!"

An ALF reboot TV-show with Neve Campbell a possible star? Sounds almost too big and good to be true. If it is at this stage, wouldn't we have heard about it from either Paul Fusco or from Fusco through Jeremiah? It's confusing since the movie is the latest (and only) project we've heard about ALF coming back.

EDIT: After some quick investigation, it seems you are the one behind the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/events/434189310027336/), the IMDb thread (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090390/boa ... /218036440) and the tumblr (http://alfreboot.tumblr.com/). You really don't need to pretend to have stumbled upon this piece of information and share it with us to get some views. If this project is legit, you'll get plentiful and believe me, this is the place to be to communicate with fans of ALF and our wishes for a potential reboot.

yeah, seems a little to good to be true for me too, besides wouldn't fusco be too busy working on the movie or wait until the movie comes out and see if it does good before even attempting a sitcom reboot?

If this is legit, and it sounds it - its probably been decided the movie won't be going ahead for whatever reason.

It sounds very interesting and could be great - though just not sure anyone, no matter how talented, could match the magic of the original - TV gold - and it would always be compared.

I heard back from Paul Fusco today - this is NOT LEGIT, and lawyers will be looking into it.

I thought it sounded too good to be true! I'm glad Paul Fusco is aware of this.

Nice work Jeremiah
