Getting New Amsterdam Ready For Air; The Pilot ... Needed Fixing
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."

Baggage of immortality haunts Fox's 'New Amsterdam'

Baggage of immortality haunts Fox's 'New Amsterdam'

TV characters seem to lug lots of personal baggage.
Still, few match John Amsterdam of Fox's "New Amsterdam" series. He has four centuries of baggage.
"It's a complicated life he has," says Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays him.
Long and complicated. Back in 1642, he was given a spell that includes near-eternal life. As the series starts (Tuesday, March 4), he's great at being a police detective, not at being a happy person.
"He has these rich life experiences," Coster-Waldau says. "(But) he's not very good at being with other people."
