Un fortunato piccolo gruppo di giornalisti e blogger è stato invitato ad assistere a un anteprima del pilot di Gotham, lo show della Fox che racconta le avventure del giovane detective James Gordon (Benjamin McKenzie) e le origini di alcuni dei più famosi villain della città: Pinguino, l’Enigmista, Catwoman e Poison Ivy, all’iPic Theater a Westwood.
Il pilot, che aveva già conquistato settimane fa i compratori internazionali, ha ottenuto dei giudizi estremamente positivi, contribuendo così ad alzare ancora di più l’hype attorno allo show.
#Gotham screeening….

Really dug the pilot of Fox’s superhero origin story Gotham. Solid crime drama with many tantalizing hints of the mythology to come.

Saw the #Gotham pilot tonight. Builds really well, and Robin Lord Taylor is a revelation as Penguin. Excited for what’s next! — Alex Zalben (@azalben) June 13, 2014
#Gotham is fantastic. The trailer doesn’t do it justice. Definitely at the top of my list for this fall.

Fox’s new TV series #Gotham topped expectations. Love it when new shows raise the bar. Fans will be very pleased. — Tiffany Vogt (@TVWatchtower) June 13, 2014
Cannot get over how great the cast of #Gotham is — not a false note among them. Jada Pinkett Smith in particular just kills it.

Today’s treat: seeing #Gotham pilot on the big screen. Danny Cannon and Bruno Heller are a killer duo. It left me wanting more.

The proof will be in the Ep.7 or Ep.9 or E.11 of it, but FOX’s #Gotham is a really solid, well-made pilot. — Daniel Fienberg (@HitFixDaniel) June 13, 2014
Loved seeing #Gotham on the big-screen. Gorgeous show, and Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue make great on-screen partners. Excited for ep 2! — Marisa Roffman (@marisaroffman) June 13, 2014
Rest assured, #GOTHAM is everything that you want #GOTHAM to be. And .@robinlordtaylor is fantastic as Oswald Cobblepot (aka Penguin).

Una storia solida, in cui hanno notevolmente brillato le performance di Robin Lord Taylor nei panni di Oswald Cobblepott, del piccolo David Mazouz in quelli di Bruce e di Jada Pinkett Smith per Fish Money. La nuova versione di Alfred si ispira alla graphic novel di Geoff Johns, Batman: Earth One, ma questo è solo uno dei tanti fumetti a cui si sono ispirati gli scrittori. Ad esempio i personaggi di Renee Montoya e Crispus Allen provengono dalla serie a fumetti Gotham Central, mentre l’ultima storia avente per protagonista l’Enigmista in Zero Year, ha notevolmente influenzato lo show. Diversi gli easter egg inseriti nello show, i fan di Arrow potranno subito riconoscere quello di Solomon Grundy.
Di seguito vi mostriamo due nuovi poster dello show, dedicati a Pinguino e Catwoman:
