J.J. Abrams' Alcatraz

[Crixtala]

When San Francisco Police Department DET. REBECCA MADSEN (Sarah Jones, “Sons of Anarchy”) is assigned to a grisly homicide case, a fingerprint leads her to a shocking suspect: JACK SYLVANE (guest star Jeffrey Pierce, “The Nine”), a former Alcatraz inmate who died decades ago. Given her family history – both her grandfather and surrogate uncle, RAY ARCHER (Robert Forster, “Jackie Brown”), were guards at the prison – Madsen’s interest is immediately piqued, and once the enigmatic, knows-everything-but-tells-nothing government agent EMERSON HAUSER (Sam Neill, “Jurassic Park”) tries to impede her investigation, she’s doggedly committed. Madsen turns to Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast, DR. DIEGO “DOC” SOTO (Jorge Garcia, “Lost”), to piece together the inexplicable sequence of events. The twosome discovers that Sylvane is not only alive, but he’s loose on the streets of San Francisco, leaving bodies in his wake. And strangely, he hasn’t aged a day since he was in Alcatraz, when the prison was ruled by the iron-fisted WARDEN EDWIN JAMES (Jonny Coyne, “Undercovers”) and the merciless ASSOCIATE WARDEN E.B. TILLER (Jason Butler Harner, “The Changeling”).

First Look at J.J. Abrams' Alcatraz (more)...

I think this looks bad ass... it's going to come out midseason this fall and will air after House on Monday nights. There's a pretty good trailer on the linked page above, but you can also go straight to the trailer here.

Oh God, not more Hurley.

[DirtyMagic97]

Seeing Hurley as anything but Hurley is going to be weird.

[dimbee]

I think it'll be good to see Hurley as someone other than Hurley. I like the dude and it'll be nice to see him branch out

She was Zobelle's daughter on Sons of Anarchy as well. She is the reason I'll be watching the next episode of this.

[Guest Irv]

[Scrumtrilescent]

I really enjoyed it and I gave up on Lost two seasons in.

[Johnny Rockets]

I watched it and have never really watched any kind of drama series like Lost, etc..... I am going to try to stick with it as the show was interesting and I have always been intrigued by Alcatraz since I was a kid for some reason. Wasn't a big fan of the main actress or the acting in general but maybe she/it will grow on me. Jut hope the show doesn't get to "hokey".
