Ryan Carnes to play "the ghost who walks" in new TV version of "The Phantom"
From the "whatever happened to?" department comes word that actor Ryan Carnes has been cast in a new version of the classic comic book hero The Phantom. It will be a four-hour TV movie for the Ryan Carnes is probably best known for playing Justin, the boyfriend of Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom) on the early days of Desperate Housewives, and for famously showing his doodle in the queer indie hit Eating Out. With Scott Lunsford in Eating Out and Shawn Pyfrom in Desperate Housewives The pilot looks like a must-see, as it also stars Cameron Goodman (who played Kitty Cutie in the movie Succubus) and Sandrine Holt (from The L Word and that episode of Friday the 13th: The Series where an aging model uses a cursed compact to kill her young rivals). Best of all, the villainess is played by Isabella Rossellini, who will hopefully camp and vamp it up. So, anyone else looking as forward to this as I am? Submitted by on Tue, 2009-04-07 14:02. |

Sunday mornings!
Sunday mornings as a kid, my dad and I used to read the comics together, and we followed the story of The Phantom as a serial together. My fond memories of the comic probably don't include the images you just conjured up for me snicks, but considering the imagery, that's OK with me.
As for the Phantom - I have to wonder if this is going to translate to 2010 - this was a very low-tech story, with a lot of bad guys being taken down with a punch to the jaw, leaving them permanently marked with a skull from his ring. I recall a couple of revolvers, and maybe a small plane, and a cave. Is that really ratings gold these days? On the other hand, Ryan Carnes in purple spandex - <swoon>
Run, Robey!!
You had me at Friday the 13th: The Series, and "Face of Evil" is one of my favorite episodes! Remember how she uses the mirror to curse the one model and her hair bursts into flame from all the hairspray (wait, was that Sandrine?!)? Brilliant. And the compact was the first item that Ryan and Mickey weren't able to recapture on the first attempt, when it was used by an ugly duckling to make men fall for her.
Oh and also I'm a loser.
Just got finished watching
wow he certainly is one of
For YEARS there were two great directors who--
wanted to make a film of The Phantom
Alain Resnais
and'
Federico Fellini
Ryan Carnes is smokin' hot, but I doubt the film will be anywhere near the level of Resnais or Fellini.
