The best good guys are GIRLS!

Been very busy with work so I couldn't post updates. Boo. Anyway, I just loved the way they described the Nikita girls, well, Nikita and Alex as "the best good guys are girls!" Yeah baby! Gotta love that! :)



They have wit, charm, style and they're here to prove that sometimes the best good guys are girls!

Craig Silverstein Interview

Craig Silverstein is the executive producer of our beloved show Nikita. Snippets from The Collider interview:

On doing another version of Nikita:

I had to take it upon myself to find a way that it could be done fresh, where you didn’t know how this story was going to end. That’s when I came upon the idea of following Nikita after she had left the agency, which is a chapter that’s never been told.

About the Nikita character:

I think it’s a mini-mythology now, like Batman or James Bond. Obviously, it’s not to that level, but people know it. It’s been done enough now that it’s got its own myth attached to it, and the powerful thing about it is that there’s a very fairytale aspect to the whole story. It’s a dark fairytale.

Casting Maggie Q:

It had to be someone who was beautiful, who could fight, who you could believe holding a gun and who you believed was smart, in order to plan everything that she was doing. You’d think those things would be easy to find in an actor, and they’re not. We had actors come in and these girls would be gorgeous and smart, but you’d put a gun in their hands and it didn’t work. The second we heard Maggie’s name, Danny Cannon, our director, and I looked at each other and were like, “Yes!” It was really early on in the process.

Casting Lyndsy Fonseca:

She was intense when she came in to audition. We were like, “Woah!” I don’t think you’ll be thinking of her as the girl next door for much longer.

Nikita vs Alex? Uh oh.

And then, Alex and Nikita’s relationship is also going to start to fray. There will be conflict all around.

Enjoy! :)

Are 'Nikita' ads too sexy?

Do you think this ad is too sexy?


According to Variety, L.A. shopping center the Grove turned down that ad.

L.A. shopping center the Grove, for example, turned down the ad featuring Maggie Q seated and wearing a leather outfit. Locales in Chicago and New York also passed on the image.

In other parts of Los Angeles, the ad of "Nikita" in the chair was approved -- except on billboards located near schools and churches.

But this ad was approved.

In those cases, outlets including the Grove were fine with a replacement ad featuring the actress in a long red dress and brandishing a machine gun.

Make that conditionally approved.

In Culver City, the machine gun ad wasn't welcome, particularly on billboards facing the 405 Freeway.

Hooray for the shopping centers that approved. And thanks to "peer pressure."

In Santa Monica, the newly reopened Santa Monica Place Mall initially turned down the "Nikita" ads -- but relented after discovering that shopping centers in other locales had given the greenlight.

But this is what the CW Marketing Head had to say:

"Of course, we've been down this road a few times with some of our campaigns. We know it's always smart to come prepared to have different options ready to offer our different constituents," said CW marketing topper Rick Haskins.

Good job, sir!

Nikita: The Femme Fatale Lives Again

Hollywood 411 gives you a sneak peek at The CW's Nikita, the latest incarnation of the iconic femme fatale. Star Maggie Q, a Jackie Chan protege, talks about the series and recalls how she knocked out an actor who got too close.

Maggie Q and Shane West on their photo shoot with TV Guide Magazine

OMG! I am so happy I found this video!



Maggie is so pretty and Shane is dashingly handsome especially when he was viewing the photos. The best scene would have to be when they were about to kiss.

Computers Used by Nikita

Nikita relies on computers a lot. And she uses different ones.

Dell Laptop from the opening sequence

Dell Laptop from Episode 1
(Is this different from the Dell Laptop from the opening sequence? Seems to me of different color. Perhaps due to the lighting that it changed color? But the blue laptop appears again at the end.)

Unknown desktop from Episode 2

Sony Netbook from Episode 4

And another unknown desktop from Episode 5
