Phantom, a four-hour, action-packed, dramatic mini-series, began principal photography this past April in Montreal. This updated and urban reimagining of the 1936 Lee Falk classic comic strip character includes second unit filming in New York City and Costa Rica and stars Ryan Carnes (Desperate Housewives), Sandrine Holt (24), Cameron Goodman (Mad Men) and Isabella Rossellini (Alias). A co-production with SCI FI Channel in the U.S, Phantom will debut on Movie Central and The Movie Network in spring 2010.
Sandrine Holt is pretty hot so that is one casting choice I can get behind.
Produced by Muse Entertainment, Phantom is a modern-day re-invention of the popular adventure comic strip The Phantom, created by Lee Falk in 1936. A law student is shocked to learn that he was adopted and is actually the son of The Phantom, a caped crime fighter. He joins the Phantom team in the jungles of Bengalla to train in martial arts and combat, and emerges as the next Phantom. The series’ creative team includes executive producer Michael Prupas, producer Irene Litinsky and screenwriters Charles Knauf and Dan Knauf.
No news on if the Phantom will be spanking anyone, but he probably will.
