Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes) attended the recent Comic-Con event in San Diego.
The actor has many reasons to be at sci-fi TV and movie focused gatherings like Comic-Con because of his work on shows like Heroes, Lucky Man, and Covert Affairs over the past decade. Of course this year Sendhil had a new project to talk about: the new upcoming TV series Reverie.
The comparative lack of Reverie news to come out of July’s Comic-Con suggests that most of those discussions happened behind closed doors. Perhaps they’ll become more public nearer to the broadcast. There were definitely none of the panel discussions made up of cast and crew from the show that have become common practice at these conferences. I don’t think key members of the production team were present.
However, blogger Cherry Davis got a 5 minute-long interview with Sendhil. In that time he explains the basic plot line of Reverie, hints at some of the motivations of the main character played by Sarah Shahi, and details his own role. Crucially Kathryn gets a mention about 3 minutes in. Sendhil leaves Kathryn’s Monica Shaw as a mystery, saying she comes in towards the end of the pilot that he’d just seen.
In between the pitching, filming, and broadcast much can change in a new TV series. Hearing that Kathryn’s character has made it into a later cut of the first episode, and forms part of what could be the on-going storyline is very welcome news.
Thank you to Cherry Davis for making the interview available. You can watch Cherry’s video in full on YouTube HERE. A small copy has been added to the KM UK gallery.
