Heat Vision and Jack

06/30/04 | by Jamie | Categories: Deep Thoughts



I just downloaded this cool 1999 FOX TV pilot that never got picked up and thought I'd share it with you guys. It stars Jack Black, Ron Silver, Ben Stiller and features the voice of Owen Wilson. Jack Black plays an ex-astronaut who got too close to the sun and becomes the smartest human being alive. Owen Wilson plays the voice of Heat Vision, the unfortunate combination of Jack Austin's former roommate and his motorcycle. Ron Silver plays Ron Silver, also an ex-astronaut and part-time actor, who's current job it is to take out Jack Austin. The show is a spoof of all those 80's action shows like Knight Rider and the A-Team. It kind of reminds me of one of my old favorite cancelled FOX shows, Danger Theater.

SethHoly crap! Why wasn't that picked up? It isn't reality TV? Ugh, I hate networks.

JamieI don't think the execs at FOX understood that it was a comedy, or they at least didn't get the jokes.
