February/29/2008 02:33 AM Filed in: Off-Site
From AP/The Candadian Press comes an article covering
the preparations and reshoots involved in getting New
Amsterdam's pilot episode ready for broadcast. It,
also, includes comments from Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
and executive producer David Manson.
"A then-and-now comparison reveals a promising concept that, in its first rendition, had potentially fatal flaws.
"New Amsterdam" 2.0 deftly fixes those flaws, and gets the series off to a strong start, thanks to several scenes reshot, a minor role recast, some strategic re-editing, and - underlying all the tweaks - a heightened sense on the part of the producers for what the series is about. Right now the pilot system is losing favour among budget-slashing networks. But the pilot for "New Amsterdam" served a valuable purpose: it was a good way to find the weak spots."
