What if you could get tomorrow’s newspaper today? Personally, I would love knowing it, I think. Sometimes knowing the future isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
But in Early Edition, that’s what happens. One lucky (which hey, is subjective – is it really lucky) journalist gets tomorrows newspaper ahead of time. And CBS is rebooting the show.
The original Early Edition was in the 1990’s and was headlined by Kyle Chandler. I remember my Mom watching it and talking about how dreamy Kyle Chandler was. She loved the show.
And with a reboot coming, personally, I will watch it, because it will remind me of my Mom.
Alice Eve has been cast as the lead of CBS’ drama pilot Early Edition. You may know her from such things as She’s Out of My League, Men in Black 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Before We Go.
Eve will play Beth, who is described as “ambitious but uncompromising.” She’s wanted to be an investigative journalist since she was a child, and will do whatever it takes to get the story. That sometimes puts her at conflict with others, especially her mentor, Tommy, who believes that what is most important about the story, is the people and how they are affected. But Beth has not quite figured out how to balance that in her journalism.
We’re looking forward to seeing how Beth balances everything and figures it all out. And hey, we’re always for Alice Eve in a role.
What do you think? Would you want tomorrows newspaper today?
