Just watched the Charlie Jade premiere on a big screen at the old Toybox in Toronto. I have a good feeling about the show. The first cuts felt murky, but now that all the ADR and sound cleanup is done, they don't seem murky at all. Bladerunner is definitely a big influence, but there's a lot more going on there. Bladerunner had the pretty, gritty shots; CJ is adding all the shaky camera and docu-shooting style that's happened since then.
No one has the slightest idea whether this show will be a hit, but if it fails, it's going to fail for reaching for the stars. At least no one can accuse us of ripping off some other show.
