Oh I soooooo can't wait for this to come out!!! Harry's a little different than I expected but who I really can't wait to see is Thomas and Bob! I love Bob!!

Heh heh,heh...i've been waiting to see this come out.. i have all the books thus far, and i'm giddy as hell to see the TV show.

I don't really mind what color the actress' hair is. To me, it's all about how a person portrays a character, not about appearance. Afterall if Stargate SG-1 can change a character's appearance and hair color all in one season and make it work, why can't they introduce Murphy as a brunette?
Anyway, I still can't wait for January. My only hope is that the director and producers don't deter too much from how Jim had created the world of Harry Dresden.

here is a wonderful link to enjoy, its a teaser for the series!

Posted by: Katie at July 30, 2006 03:05 AM

Oh. Well thanks for correcting me. I haven't seen anything about that, but it's nice to know they are going to stick to the story more.

Posted by: Amber at July 29, 2006 03:37 PM

Wrong. The 'Erik' change was rescinded; on the most recent TV spot, they're clearly calling him Harry.

Posted by: Fred at July 29, 2006 02:14 AM

AND LISTEN TO THIS INJUSTICE!!!!! Harry's name will be changed to Erik, as the producers don't want people confusing it with Harry Potter! READ THIS:

Though there will be a slight change (A major change if you ask me!), Mr Dresden will no longer be called Harry, he'll be called Erik. Doesn't quite slip off the tongue as nicely as "Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden", but I guess those who haven't read the books won't notice anyway. I've heard they'll change the name for the film because they don't want people thinking "Harry Potter", even though the only connection I can see (other than the name) is the fact that they're both wizards.

WHAT IS THAT!!!!!!! Anyone else angry at this, please post!

Posted by: Amber at July 28, 2006 10:22 PM

just thought i'd add this for my confusion. and on Sci-Fi the preview says coming soon. im my opinion, january is NOT soon:

The Dresden Files will premiere on SCI FI in the summer of 2006. <---thats what it says! im very confused

Posted by: Amber at July 23, 2006 07:17 PM

does anyone know when the series is ACTUALLY airing? I've seen a few things that say this summer, but then i saw something that said it airs for two hours in january! Which is it! I hope it's this summer, i am DYING to see it. That's not how i imagined Harry looking though. I think he needs to be taller.

Posted by: Amber at July 23, 2006 07:14 PM

I think Movies would have done the books more justice. You know, a movie for each book. Do you think they'll stick to the same story or just some how create another one? It kind of worries me that things will fall and not give enough credit.

Posted by: FlatlinePatient at July 22, 2006 03:35 AM

They showed the Dresden commercial...I'm so happy. It said "Coming Soon" at the end xP

Posted by: CrewWolf at July 18, 2006 10:31 PM

Just saw the Dresden Files commercial during the premier of Eureka on Sci-Fi! Looks Great!

Posted by: Nathan at July 18, 2006 10:19 PM

Harry doesn't look right. Murphey kinda does though.

Posted by: Seren at July 18, 2006 06:47 PM

I watched the clip but where is that sexy coat?

Posted by: Loretta at July 12, 2006 04:43 PM

I'm totally excited about the TV series. This is a link to some information about the series on the sci-fi channel home page.

My understanding is that DRESDEN FILES has been picked up by the SciFi channel as a series for a dozen or so episodes, so the "Summer 2006" date has been pushed off to "January 2007". A bummer having to wait, but at least we get to wait for MORE than a one-shot movie.

Posted by: Marv at July 5, 2006 08:15 AM

When the hell does this show start. Starting to tick me off. Summer 2006, not vague at all.

Posted by: sqrlfghter at July 4, 2006 02:54 PM

I was talking with a fellow Dresden fan and we figured that the only way this show can really work is with a narrative style.

Posted by: jeremy at July 4, 2006 12:27 AM

umm... i just have to say one thing... WHY THE HELL IS MURPHY A BLEEPING BRUNETTE???????
O I also would like to covet the animation on the toad deamon. besides the brown hair looks grade A.

Posted by: Joseph at June 29, 2006 07:35 PM

To Polly:

On the BB it said that Sky One have bought it.

Posted by: Half Life at June 29, 2006 04:13 PM

Sci-Fi's section is still showing the same old post from November 2005 saying it was aqquired and would be airing in Summer 2006... it is summer, so where is it?! Want... *drools*

Posted by: IceDomain at June 27, 2006 10:55 PM

Yay! I'm in hyper-shiny-thing mode!
Hope it makes it to a sensible channel on UK tv. Would have liked to have heard Harry speak beyond a grunt.

Posted by: Polly at June 27, 2006 10:51 AM

*Ozzy bounces off to her happy place*

Aaron Sorkins Studio 60 and Harry both picked up and ready to beam (eventually) into my little portion of the world

Hot Diggidy Dog!

Posted by: Ozzyols at June 21, 2006 10:53 AM

*____*

I had no idea they were even thinking of making a series! A TV series!! Wow!

Now, if only I had more than limited basic cable... *sigh* Hopefully it gets put out on DVD!

And if we (the fans) are bouncing off the wall, imagine how Jim feels! He must be ecstatic!! (Congrats!!)

Gotta' say for Murphy though... I think that despite the brown hair, they got her just right! I pictured her as a shorter woman who wasn't an easy pushover physically. *shrug*

Posted by: graphite_quill at June 20, 2006 08:57 PM

Yay! I got it to work. Now I'm happy.

Posted by: Marie at June 19, 2006 01:56 PM

What gives? I can't see it. It won't play!

*throws toddler-ish temper tantrum*

I WANNA SEE HARRY!!!

Whew. I'm better now.

Posted by: Marie at June 19, 2006 01:50 PM

18.6 MB (if you were wondering how big it is).
Absolutely wonderful. And I agree, why is Murphy a brunette? Well, hopefully the actress will play the part so well, we'll barely notice the hair color.
I also made 3 avatars using it, one of them an animation. I might share them on the forum later.

Posted by: Alyssa at June 19, 2006 12:30 AM

Yay! Another scrape of info to obsess over until it actually comes out! Question; why is Murphy's hair brown and curly?
Oh well,
Love forever

Posted by: Lena at June 17, 2006 07:57 PM

That's excellent...and yes, Murphy looks gorgeous :-)

One thing though: maybe you could note the size of that file just in case someone with a slow connection gets caught unawares? IIRC it's quite big...

Posted by: Phil at June 16, 2006 04:45 AM

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT ONE SCENE LOOKS LIKE THE TOAD DEMON OR THE VAMPS SET OFF HARRY'S PROTECTIVE WARDS!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!
MORE CLIPS, MORE CLIPS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: kate at June 15, 2006 08:44 PM

I have a strong feeling that for the next *thinks* 6 months, I will be watching this clip over and over again like a neurotically-obsessed fangirl...even though I'm not one. :D Pscheh, right.

Posted by: Emily at June 15, 2006 05:42 PM

holy crap is that cool. Its shows Murphy slamming harry on the hood of a car and other "things". I want to see more. Cant wait till January.... and i thought waiting for Superman was going to kill me.
