\"Alias\"<\/a>
Jessica Jones will take more than a fair bit of inspiration from the Alias comic-book<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0With the roaring success of the first season of Daredevil<\/strong><\/em>, expectations are high for Jessica Jones<\/strong><\/em>, their adaption of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos’ acclaimed Alias<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0run. Speaking to\u00a0the Television Critics Association (via SlashFilm<\/a>), showrunner Melissa Rosenberg discussed what fans can expect.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all starts with Brian Michael Bendis\u2019s Alias<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0series,\u201d she\u00a0said. \u201cHe created this incredibly flawed, damaged interesting character. Regardless of gender, it was the character that drew me. He wasn\u2019t afraid to go there and we went even further. We\u2019ve gone further in all of our storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The darkness of the Daredevil<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0series took a lot of us by surprise, and Rosenberg said that Jessica Jones<\/strong><\/em> will definitely go to some dark places.\u00a0\u201cWell, is the audience going to respond to this or not? I don\u2019t know, but if I\u2019m afraid of it I\u2019m doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Rosenberg was keen to distance the series from too many comparisons with its Netflix sibling.<\/p>\n

“Jessica Jones<\/strong><\/em> is a very different show from Daredevil<\/strong><\/em>,\u201d she said.\u00a0\u201cWe exist in a cinematic universe, the mythology of the universe is connected, but it will look very different. Tonally they\u2019re very different. If you pick up Bendis\u2019 Alias<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and pick up Daredevil<\/strong><\/em>, they\u2019re wildly different. That was my one concern. Would I have to fit in with Daredevil<\/strong><\/em>? The answer was, \u2018No, we\u2019re hiring you for your point of view.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

She also pointed out a key element of the Jessica Jones character: there’s no superhero costume, it’s just her.\u00a0\u201cThe one thing [where] Steven [DeKnight] has the advantage, his show was called Daredevil<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0but Daredevil has an outfit,\u201d Rosenberg said. \u201cCharlie Cox can get a break once in a while. My show is called Jessica Jones<\/strong><\/em>. There is no mask. Krysten Ritter is the hardest working actress.\u201d<\/p>\n

We can’t wait to see what Ritter and Rosenberg have done with the character, and we’re also very excited to see Mike Colter as Luke Cage, especially after Brian Michael Bendis specifically singled him out for praise in a recent Tumblr\u00a0post.<\/p>\n

“The show is so good,” he wrote. “I have seen the first couple of episodes and because i didn\u2019t work on it directly i can say this with full no ego fanfare: i loved it!!”<\/p>\n

“BUT it is faithful and lively and everything that I could personally have wanted from the show. \u00a0the mean streets of marvel netflix from a different perspective than matt\u2019s but at the same time\u2026 it all fits. \u00a0just like the comics on their best day. and just like Netflix DD, the look of the show is cracklin\u2019 noir but with its own palette…krysten ritter is soooo good. and michael colter. \u00a0wait until you see michael colter. the casting of luke cage, in my opinion, and have said this to everyone behind the scenes, is as strong and spot on as the casting of tony stark. its probably the hardest to cast and they got it. perfect.”<\/p>\n

Jessica Jones<\/em> will be available on Netflix later in 2015. Keep up with the latest comic book news with\u00a0SciFiNow.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
