I posted last week about the new series Crash, premiering on Starz on Oct. 17. It's been a long time coming. I started hearing buzz about a TV series shortly after the film debuted in May, 2005, and the cast looks good (though I know some of you disagree with me). The lineup of the ensemble drama includes Dennis Hopper, D.B. Sweeney, Ross McCall, Clare Carey, and Luis Chavez, among others. I also appreciate the fact that Paul Haggis and Don Cheadle, who worked on the film, are producing the TV series. So whatever else happens, I have to think they'll keep the integrity of the film intact.
The Crash press kit is now online, and it's interesting to watch the trailer and hark back to the movie. Some of it looks the same -- like the shot of a cop feeling up a woman -- and the racial tension is definitely in place.
Check out the trailer and behind-the-scenes clip and see what you think. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on whether this looks like something you'll watch. Dennis Hopper's character looks like a lot of fun (no, I'm not smoking anything).

Dennis Hopper is amazing! He has done so many films and seems to never stop. This month alone I believe he had at least 4 movies come out. That’s not even taking into consideration the fact he goes and promotes all these films, paints, plays poker and likes to attend all the coolest events. He just doesn’t let up! I have him on my GPS even. I got his voice from a company called Navtones.com and I love it. It is the real him and they do other voices such as Mr. T, Kim Cattrall, Gary Busey… all the real celebrities. Dennis Hopper, go take a holiday!

This show looks like it's going to be pretty damn good. I've heard great things about the first two episodes. Potientially the best show on televsion based on the formula of the people behind the scenes alone. Come on Hopper, don't let us down!
