In my previous blog “Flashing The Flash” I wrote that I
would be watching the pilot episode of The Flash on Tuesday, 14th
October 2014. I did! I was literally blown away! [She jokes]. Seriously the effects were amazing and I
enjoyed the storyline. No wonder the
ratings were so good.
Yes I’m keeping score and I will continue to do so because I’ve
a vested interest in this show i.e. Wentworth Miller. I’ve a feeling when Wentworth’s character
Captain Cold aka Leonard Snart bursts onto our TV screens “The Flash” ratings
are going to soar! You mark my words. I mean take a look at the links below and perhaps
you’ll catch my drift.
I enjoyed reading the following interview:
NYCC: JOHNS TALKS
EARLY "FLASH" TV SUCCESS, SEEING CAPTAIN COLD IN LIVE-ACTION
You just mentioned Wentworth Miller -- what kind of emotions
have been stirred by seeing one of your favorite characters, Captain Cold, in
live-action for the first time?
When I was on set, and he first came out -- it's just really
cool to see him hold that cold gun. There was a huge debate about, "Does
he hold the gun with two hands or one hand?" Glen Winter, who directed it
-- he directed some "Arrow" episodes I wrote, and some
"Smallville" [episodes] when I first started writing TV -- I've known
him for a long, long time, and we got to talk a lot about Barry, and Snart, and
what it all meant emotionally. There are some really cool emotional arcs in
that episode that make Cold even stronger of a character, and he represents a
lot in the show when you see it. I don't want to ruin the surprise.
It was great to have these debates about why he would hold
it with one hand. It wasn't just because it looked cooler, it was because of
the confidence he has when he touches that cold gun for the first time. It's
almost like, "Oh my god, where have you been all my life?" The way
that Wentworth portrayed it -- he evolves from this very intelligent and driven
criminal, and then he's in a city where a streak is showing up, and it's
causing all these problems, and he realizes he's got to evolve himself. This is
the first step of his evolution. We talked a lot about the character, his
attitude, where he's going to go. To be able to sit there on set and talk with
Wentworth and Glen about Captain Cold -- that's heaven, y'know? Especially when
you're working with an actor this talented, talking to the prop guys that were
making the gun about what it should look like -- I hope people enjoy the episode.
I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Check out the “behind” the scenes of The Flash on a freezing
cold night on Thursday, 16th October 2014 in VC., BC., Canada with
Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), Heatwave (Dominic Purcell) and Flash (Grant
Gustin) .
No wonder they called these scenes “behind” the scenes. I must say Went looks very cuddlesome in his
Parka from behind wouldn’t you agree? I
could just give him a good ol’ polar bear hug!
… And then we get a glimpse of the “front” scene.
… And also the “side” scene.
You might be wondering why I’ve been writing in this fashion? It just so happens that as I’m writing about this event the information and
pictures are popping up on the Internet.
It’s now apparent that the photos of Went were taken from various
photographers at different scenes and angles.
It’s so good to see Wentworth and Dominic acting together once
again. It sure brings back such
wonderful memories for me and I guess for you and everyone involved … Wentworth
and Dominic.
I have another three episodes of The Flash to see before
Captain Cold makes his debut. I can tell
you that my excitement and anticipation of seeing Went on TV is certainly raising
the temperature in the Southern Hemisphere to boiling point. Talk about a “Heatwave”!
