The newest press release names the protagonist as Cale (which is Jarret's last name right?)

So that means either;

1. Jeremy is not the star, it's this new guy, Cale. (Jeremy might still be in it, following his own storyline. This might be best.)

2. Jeremy still is the star, he's just called Cale now (and there's no hope of PPTV picking up where the web seires left off. Alt. Reality tiem!)

3. The show's new producer is an idiot and can't tell Jarret Cale from Jeremy. And then calls him by the wrong name.

So...thoughts? :3

[Vorrik]

This is... what i'd like to call... the most stupid thread on this forums

Er its not such a stupid question, I'm also curious to hear the answer assuming "The newest press release names the protagonist as Cale" is true.

[Dark Raven X]

This is it. And on reading it again, I feel like a nervous idiot. It still could go either way, but I just read it too fast.

NEWS BRIEFS
New gamer series from Ron Mann set for Showcase
by Amy Haggar with files from Melita Kuburas

Ron Mann has his 13 year-old son to thank for discovering his next project, Pure Pwnage, a web series that just been greenlit for an eight 30-minute episode run on Showcase. Mann optioned the show through his Sphinx Productions, and will exec produce along with Catherine Tait of Duopoly.

While at a comic book convention in New York, Mann’s son Oliver insisted that they check out the booth for the web series. While chatting with its creators, Jarett Cale and Geoff Lapaire, Mann was surprised to learn that it received 200,000 viewers per month, that they were from Toronto and that the show was actually really funny. Pure Pwnage gets its name from gaming slang. To be "pwned" (pronounced "owned") is to be defeated, often in a humiliating way. It stars Cale – who Mann describes as “the Tony Hawk of video games” - as a 26-year-old online gaming addict who has lost touch with reality. Forced by his mom to get a job, he struggles to assimilate in society with comedic results. Many of the original cast from the webisodes will reprise their roles in the TV version, says Mann.

A Canwest spokesperson says there are integration and sponsorship opportunities for brands, naming beverages (energy drinks), snack foods and electronic products as ideal categories. Pure Pwnage is slated to go into production this fall, filming in Toronto and Hamilton before airing on Showcase sometime in 2010. Additional web content will be created exclusively for Showcase.ca and will be streamed on the site in late fall.

As for his son, arguably the catalyst in this deal, Mann says Oliver will be getting a “hefty finders fee” and is already researching the new paintball gun he wants to buy with it.

UGH

[Vorrik]

Oh, ok 0.o

Sounds like he got the name wrong...Using the actors surname would be just silly. I don't know, the whole series is flying off on some tangent, it might be true.

UGH

Why not post something constructive?

[Vorrik]

Well luckily i was able to interpret the description of the show/watch the advert that ONLY HAD JEREMY IN IT.

-edit- i went too harsh with my last edit!

ALLLSOOO i have nothing against OP, misinterpretations are cool n all but master, did you even decide to read into this yourself before posting?

Nothing in that quote said anything about selling out.

Reading: You should do it more.

There seems to be a lack of reading in this thread :/

[PwnDaddy123]

This thread is as silly as the people who asked if Dave and Doug are going to be in the show.

...Dave hasn't been confirmed as being in it. >__>

Indeed, so many people just skimming every post then projecting their own preconceived notions into the threads.

It's like the announcement simultaneously opened a portal to Stupid World.

[Weiman]

It's not that uncommon to refer to an actor by their last name.

[Master C]

So it is Jeremy: it almost certainly wont be Jeremy as we know him.
