I can't wait to see this
I got this on the old RSS feeder today:
Jimmy Wolk has landed the lead in Fox's Marc Webb-directed drama pilot "Midland," and "Avatar" co-star Laz Alonso will star in another hourlong Fox pilot, "Breakout Kings."
Ohhhhh, a pilot called "Midland," you won't guess what it is about:
"Midland," from 20th TV, is a soap set against the backdrop of an oil business that centers on a polygamist (Wolk) living a double life. Wolk, who toplined the ABC pilot "Solving Charlie" last season, is repped by WME.
Hmmmm, maybe they should have named this pilot "Eldorado" or "Schleicher"

If it's filmed in the United States it will be shot in California with mountains, vineyards and suburbia posing as Midland. For a pilot they probably won't spend the money to get shots of "Midland" for the B Roll and Credits, that's what the oil fields in Bakersfield are for.
I didn't remember that the old oil man that was a polygamist ever lived in Midland...but then, what will be realistic about any of this anyway?
hmmmmm...Wouldn't this actually be a good vehicle for the MDC to invest in ?
If done properly it could be a draw for the Basin . Beautiful women , colorful characters and the oppurtunity to make lotsa moolah .
...could bring some national investments here .
If , of course , the show's any good .
