In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Bryan Fuller – creator of the “The Amazing Screw-On Head” pilot (which we discussed a few months back) as well as a consulting producer on “Heroes” – reveals the possibility of viewers seeing more of the Head:
Q: What’s going on with “Amazing Screw-On Head?” Critics loved it, but then it didn’t do too well in the ratings. I heard a rumor you guys wanted it at Cartoon Network now.
A: Mark Stern at the Sci Fi Channel was the lone champion of the show. Everyone else at Sci Fi didn’t get it. Now we are waiting very patiently for our pass from Sci Fi so we can take it to Adult Swim. It was a very different experience than what I was used to doing with live action, and I would love to continue. We have three backup scripts. They are as bizarre and interesting as the pilot. We have Emperor Zombie working with Darwin on Galapagos Island determining that the ultimate evolution is zombification; we have Screw-On Head encouraging Indians to assimilate to the ways of the white man only to discover they’ve taken it too far – horrifically too far; those sorts of stories. It is a new way to do a twisted soap opera. Hopefully, the show will find a home on another network.
