Toggle this category Skins US Make Maxxie a Lesbian

Posted By: SkinsisMyLife91 @ 17 June 2010 - 10:44 PM

We knew they were going to eff this show up royally!

The American basterdization reimagining of UK smash series Skins hasn't even finished filming, and yet there's already some pretty HOrrific news regarding some changes made to the characters!

Almost all of the main characters from the first season of series have been kept the same, with a few name changes (Sid is now Stanley, Anwar is now Abbud, Jal is now Korean and named Cho, and Cassie is Cadie).

Early casting sides also described the Maxxie character as an openly gay Latino boy, Teo.

However, we've gotten wind that somewhere down the line, Teo was changed into a LESBIAN cheerleader named Tea!

WTF?

And worse yet, according to a recent version of the pilot episode - which they're directly ripping off from the first one in the UK series - they haven't even bothered to redefine Maxxie's relationship with Chris and Anwar now that it's a lady.

Here's an excerpt:

INT. SPORTS HALL. MORNING

Cheerleaders are rehearsing a stupid, but intangibly arresting routine in an otherwise empty hall. Track down the line of loveliness. Somewhere a phone is ringing.

CHEERLEADERS: (CHANTING) Roundview… We love you!!! Aha! Ahu! Love you, Roundview!! Say what?!! Say Huh!!! Say what! Say huh!! Say who! Roundview…!

The camera comes to rest on TEA (17), an unusual looking but nevertheless beautiful girl.
The CHEERLEADERS spin out into immaculately coreographed individual spins and group turns. TEA presses a BLUETOOTH RECEIVER. Cheerleader continues around her.

TEA: Hey Tony…
TONY: [PHONE] Forget the big gay night out Tea. We need you.
TEA: Sorry Tony, I promised Chris and Abs I’d take them on a voyage of wonder and discovery…

Absolutely obnoxious.

Once again, we feel as though this is another case of the US unable to handle an honest depiction of a male gay teen character!

Lame!

What do U think?? Should Maxxie have been changed to a girl??

OH Hell NO!!! they totally Screwed this up now

Toggle this category MTV Orders 10 Episodes of Skins: USA

Posted By: SkinsisMyLife91 @ 10 June 2010 - 04:17 PM

MTV has reportedly picked up an American version of Skins.

According to Deadline, the network has ordered ten episodes of the teen series.

MTV's senior vice-president of series development Liz Gateley allegedly pursued the rights to the format for nearly two years before ordering a pilot in August.

The co-creator of the UK version Bryan Elsley wrote the pilot and is executive producing the project. The show will largely be penned by teenagers, like the British version.

MTV is thought to be planning a January launch for the show.

Skins finished its fourth run in the UK earlier this year and has been renewed for two more series. A movie version is also in the works.

Ok so i kno most of this isnt news but we didnt really know how many episodes they had planned and when they were planning on airing it on tv so i thought i would post it on here

Posted By: SkinsisMyLife91 @ 10 June 2010 - 04:14 PM

Dev Patel and Nicholas Hoult will reportedly reprise their roles in the recently-confirmed movie adaptation of Skins.

The Sun claims that the pair, who starred in the first two series of the hit show, have signed up for the project, which beings shooting later this year.

A source told the paper: "Even though Dev and Nic have grown up, they'll have no trouble reprising their mischievous roles."

A number of stars from the programme's history are expected to return for the movie, which is currently scheduled for a summer 2011 release.

Toggle this category Skins Voted Unrealistic Student TV show

Posted By: SkinsisMyLife91 @ 10 June 2010 - 04:13 PM

E4's Skins has been voted the most unrealistic student TV show in a recent poll.

According to MyVoucherCodes, 67% of those who voted chose the teen drama ahead of Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks and the New York-based Gossip Girl, which claimed second and third respectively.

Mark Pearson, managing director of the website, said: "The fact that Skins was considered the most unrealistic was no surprise as sixth formers don't take that many drugs and have that much sex, or at least you would hope.

"I can definitely agree that American TV shows and films that feature students are unrealistic because they are usually played by people in their 30s!"

90210, Coming Of Age and Superbad also featured in the list.

Meanwhile, The Inbetweeners was crowned the most plausible portrayal of student life, reminding voters of "their time with friends at school".

Despite the US attempting to bastardize adapt the original, the BRILLIANT UK teen drama Skins is getting a full-length feature film, set for a summer 2011 release!

Steve Christian, one of the film's producers, said in a statement:

"The biggest critics of Skins are the Skins fans so it's going to be a big challenge. The programme has this incredible fanbase despite all the characters changing. Skins has grown in popularity with more than 1.5 million people tuning in to the start of the recent fourth series. Although its target audience is teenagers, it has become something of a guilty pleasure for curious viewers far older. Look, I'm a middled aged bloke with two kids, I should hate Skins but I absolutely love it. And then I talk to my mates, people not in the film industry, and it's the same thing - they watch it and they love it and it's all down to the quality of the production. Turning TV shows into films doesn't happen so much these days, probably because there's not the material out there. But what we don't want to do is to make a 90 minute episode of Skins. It would be a complete disaster."

The controversial series follows a different group of British teenagers every two seasons as they attempt to come into their own, juggle relationships, and experiment with drugs and sexuality! We personally think it's one of the most brutally honest and poignant depictions of adolescence that we've ever seen!

Christian confirms that staff writer Jack Thorne will be handling the screenplay, and Charles Martin will direct. We're also THRILLED to hear that some of the original characters will be back, on top of the just-wrapped second generation kids and brand new faces!

YES! YES! We love them all, but we hope they bring back Maxxie and our beloved Cassie! That girl brings the hot mess like NO OTHER! Well, except maybe Effy!

We hope that this, as well as the UK's fifth season, will rectify any damage that the most likely shiteous American version will do!

What do U think?? Who do U want to see return for the Skins movie??
