I like how everyone on there is saying Bourne is irrelevant in 2019, yet a new Bourne show debuts on TV tonight.

Maybe if it was airing on NBC people would notice, but I guess USA is just off the radar for many folks.

Guys guys guys... the title meta data for the official logo is hilarious.

What's amazing is some of the USA shows pull ratings comparable with the four major network offerings. Clearly TV viewing has changed these past 10-20 years. Putting it on USA instead of NBC probably allows them to go a bit heavier on the violence and language content. Different rules/standards for the cable side.

I don't think the property is overly relevant, but I think the only property that would have made more sense for what they're trying to do is Bond, and they couldn't get Bond. So we're getting the next best thing

It sounds like this is being handled like a grand music concert production.

According to @Disneyhead the AV team behind the screen is the same one that does The Wall tour for Roger Waters, so that's an accurate take. And I believe the stunts are being coordinated by the same company that does Waterworld. So the show is definitely in some capable hands.

Have they increased the capacity for this at all?

It always tickles me a little when these highly creative people still use stock art like the rest of us, albeit at a highly inflated price.

I doubt it.

You don't need to increase capacity if you use a dying IP

Lol, very true. Mainly wasn't sure how rearranged or re-done the theatre will be to accommodate this but Im not expecting much.

I mean there were a *lot* of seats in the theater initially. It's a pretty big space.

I joke but seriously, I don't think the theatre needs any expansion. T2 was a huge deal when it opened and it handled it well enough, obviously the parks are busier now but I think it will manage just fine.

Ya very true. I frankly don't remember the capacity all too well for Terminator so thats why I was curious. Also didn't know if they'd change the stage setup due to the new show coming in

Star Trek... the supposed OG T2 replacement back when Paramount was making Trek movies with Abrams.

Avatar, the other one.

Huh?

You said 'Really love the fact that Uni is actually using there own IPs' as if they've not already been doing that.
