Poster for PlayStation's New Series POWERS with Sharlto Copley
The first trailer for Playstation's new TV series Powers is set to premiere this weekend at New York Comic Con, and I imagine it will be released online around the same time. While we wait for the trailer, a poster has been released for the superpower crime drama, and it gives us a dark and gritty vibe.
Sharlto Copley and Susan Heyward star in the series as Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, two cops that specialize in cases involving people with superhuman abilities. Powers is based on a comic book written by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, and the poster pays tribute to that source material. Here's a description of the series.
In a nutshell, “Powers” is an edgy dramatic series that follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities, referred to as Powers. Set amidst today’s paparazzi culture, “Powers” asks the questions, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren’t actually heroic at all? What if all that power was just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of the Powers Division, the brave people in charge of protecting humans like us and keeping the peace with these over-paid, commercialized, god-like men and women who glide through the sky imposing their power over the mortals who both worship and fear them.
Powers is set to premiere in December with 10 episodes, and it also stars Eddie Izzard, Noah Taylor, Olesya Rulin, Max Fowler, and Adam Godley. This sounds like it could be an awesome show.
