Huesario.

La estrella de "Texas Rising" Johnathon Schaech se ha unido al elenco de "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" como el antihéroe de Dc Comics 'Jonah Hex'.

Schaech aparecerá en el episodio 11 de la primera temporada de la serie como estrella invitada, con la posibilidad de convertirse en recurrente.

En los cómics, Hex es un legendario veterano de la Guerra Civil convertido a cazarrecompensas con su propio código moral sobre el salvar a las víctimas inocentes. Conocido como el hombre más letal vivo, tiene una cara horriblemente desfigurada, que es conocida como "la marca del demonio".

La descripción de la serie del personaje dice: "Una verdadera leyenda del Viejo Oeste, un moralmente ambiguo pistolero con una inclinación hacia el peligro. Sorprendentemente, sabe una cosa o dos sobre el viaje en el tiempo y el futuro, pero está en casa en el Salvaje Oeste. Ha estado luchando contra los forajidos y las bandas durante un tiempo ya, y avisa al equipo que sea extra cuidadoso cuando llegan al pequeño pueblo de Salvation."

"Desde que decidimos que 'Legends' involucraría el viaje en el tiempo, hemos estado deseando hacer una historia centrada en el Viejo Oeste," dijo el productor ejecutivo Marc Guggenheim en una anterior declaración. "Pero si vas a hacer una historia centrada en la versión del Viejo Oeste del Universo DC, simplemente tienes que incluir a Jonah Hex en ella. Estamos emocionados por traer a otro muy conocido y querido personaje de DC a la televisión."

Schaech no es extraño al Viejo Oeste. Además de "Texas Rising," que es una crónica de la formación de los Texas Rangers, ha aparecido en "To Appomattox," un drama de la Guerra Civil. Entre sus otros créditos figuran "The Client List", "Takers," "Quantico" y "Quarantine".

Productores de 'Legends of Tomorrow' comentan el desgarrador giro de 'Rip Hunter'
Por Sydney Bucksbaum 21 Enero, 2016

Legends of Tomorrow? More like Losers of Tomorrow.

The heroes at the center of The CW's new DC Comics series Legends of Tomorrow all thought they were being recruited for the superhero team because of their larger-than-life fates. But it turns out that Time Master Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) lied to them: he sought them all out because they actually had minimal effect on the timeline, and thus would create the least amount of ripples on time if they failed in their quest to stop immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) from taking over the world. They weren't legends in the future ... they didn't even matter enough to be remembered past their time.

And the lies didn't stop there: Rip also was on the run from the organization of Time Masters he used to work for. Turns out he broke the rules by falling in love and having a son of his own. Time Masters are supposed to remain impartial to the timeline, but Rip created a family. So when Vandal Savage killed his wife and son, he was motivated by selfish reasons to go back in time and stop him, with the help of a team.

So now that the Legends know the truth, they're going to continue their quest with Rip -- although with a little less trust and respect for their leader now that his lies have been exposed. Carter (Falk Hentschel) and Kendra (Ciara Renee) have just lost the son they recently discovered thanks to a Time Master bounty hunter named Kronos hunting down Rip and his team. And Vandal has a nuclear bomb in his possession.

The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Legends of Tomorrow showrunners Marc Guggenheim and Phil Klemmer about where the team goes from here in light of all these revelations.

That twist with Rip Hunter's family was so shocking, but it explained why he was so personally invested in taking down Vandal Savage. Where did the inspiration come from to have Rip be on the run from his own organization?

Guggenheim: I believe that was Greg [Berlanti]'s pitch. There had to be stakes, personal stakes. That's what we discovered with Arrow and The Flash. You can save the city, but having the city be in jeopardy is one thing and having the people you care about be in jeopardy is another. It raises the stakes by making it personal. As far as Rip being a rogue Time Master, that struck us as an enormous amount of fun, especially since that was a secret he could then keep from the rest of the team. As we learned on Arrow, these shows traffic in the currency of secrets of the characters.

Klemmer: We wanted Rip to be something more than just the glue that held the team together. The fact that he is an enigma and doesn't have a backstory from Flash or Arrow, we wanted to humanize him from the outset. We'll deal with that throughout the whole series. Time Masters are these cold, calculating, detached people who are the custodians of time and don't have any emotional vested interest in the course of history or the affairs of humankind. It's almost like priesthood where they're supposed to be celibate. Rip's original sin is to have loved and fallen in love and had a family. So yes, he's a rogue Time Master and he's breaking all the rules, but he's doing it for all the right, relatable reasons.

Because of that, how much of an antagonist will the Time Masters become against the Legends team?

Guggenheim: I would say a significant antagonist, certainly in the form of Kronos. He's been dispatched by the Time Masters to hunt our Legends down. That's going to continue to be a thing throughout the series. One of the things we wanted to do is, recognizing that there's a potential for repetition if you just have singular bad guy in Vandal Savage, we very intentionally wanted to create other organic antagonists for our characters to go up against. So Kronos and the Time Masters are one, and another is, as Rip points out, is time itself. Time has a certain current to it, and it wants to flow in a certain direction. And here are our characters, trying to swim against that tide. That's going to prove to be challenging as well.

Klemmer: We want to uncover factions within the Time Masters as the season goes on. It seems so monolithic and cold and calculating in the pilot, so we're going to play with the notion that there are factions within it. It's not quite as simple as Rip broke the rules and they want to stop him. They also have selfish interests and they're not the holier-than-thou organization they pretend to be in the pilot.

Are we going to see Kronos unmasked?

Klemmer: That's a very astute question. I don't think there's anything like an automaton on our show. I'm totally evading your question in a way that should let you know you touched on something important. The goal for us is to get underneath the skin of each of the villains, whether that's Mick Rory [Dominic Purcell] or Leonard Snart [Wentworth Miller], and start understanding them as human beings. You don't have to like them but we definitely want people to pity them. At the same time, our clean-scrubbed all-American hero Ray Palmer [Brandon Routh] would be pretty boring if he just wanted to do the right thing every episode. You want to take your heroes and chip away their goodness and force them to deal with mistakes and guilt. You don't build the Atom suit unless you're trying to metaphorically protect yourself from something and you don't become Captain Cold unless you're trying to hide from something.

There was some very surprising chemistry between Sara (Caity Lotz), Leonard and Mick in that bar fight scene, but especially Sara and Leonard. What are we going to see from that dynamic moving forward?

Guggenheim: We always say that the show may have spectacle and production value, but it really lives in the interactions between our various characters. What's been fun for us is pairing up different actors and characters to see what we end up with. Snart and Sara is a standout moment in the first episode. They have a wonderful group of scenes in our seventh episode. They really have a fun – I'm a little wary of using the word "chemistry" because that implies that we're going to do something romantic with them – but there is a great dynamic between the two of them. There's also a wonderful dynamic that you'll see between Sara and Rip as well. A big part of the show is seeing how characters surprise you with the way they interact with each other.

Are you going to continuously switch up the pairings of the team in each episode, or will the team develop specific cliques that always run around together on missions?

Guggenheim: We're definitely going to mix up the pairings. That's more interesting than keeping the same cliques. But we also stay cognizant of the fact that this is a team-up, it's a team series. We delight in mixing and matching people up, like in episode five one of the mash-ups is Ray Palmer and Mick Rory. Man, it's a barn burner combination of people. We're going to play around with that.

Carter and Kendra discover they have a son in the premiere, although he was killed by the Time Masters' bounty hunter. Are we going to learn of more of their relatives in different time periods?

Klemmer: We are. We will be visiting their previous lives. Kendra's 4,000 years of memories will be returning to her throughout the season. The fact that we can travel through time opens up the possibilities of running into past incarnations of either Kendra and/or Carter. We could run into a version of her in the '20s.

In the premiere, the Legends find out they were chosen because they actually have minimal effect on the timeline. Is this revelation going to be a driving factor for the entire run of the series, or will some characters move on from it faster than others?

Guggenheim: Some characters will move on from it faster than others. It complicates their mission statement but at the end of the day, these guys are heroes. You put them in a situation and they will make the heroic choice. They'll save the world and help the downtrodden and right a wrong. So is that heroic drive going to change their fate and make them legends in the future? That's the big question at the center of the show.

Productores de "Legends of Tomorrow" cuentan un secreto detrás de la gran mentira
Por Matt Webb Mitovich / 21 enero 2016, 6:02 PM PST

The truth, albeit a suspected (and logical) one, is finally out:

The Legends of Tomorrow… are, as Jax put it, “the opposite of legends.” Meaning, the eight of ’em were recruited by Time Master Rip Hunter (Doctor Who‘s Arthur Darvill) because the dent they leave on history will be so infinitesimal, they’re meaningless to the future timeline — and thus are expendable, should the mission go sideways.

“That was always the design [of the show],” says exec producer Marc Guggenheim — albeit at one point with a tiiiiiny tweak.

“We were planning on revealing that secret to the team at the end of the second hour [of the two-part premiere] rather than at the end of the first,” he shares. “But as we go through the storybreaking process, we always realize, ‘Pull it up, pull it up, pull it up!'”

How did the Legends react, learning sooner versus a bit later? Rather than use that terribly sad tidbit from Rip to fuel years upon years of therapy, Ray Palmer, Sara Lance, Professor Martin Stein, “Jax” Jackson, Leonard “Captain Cold” Snart, Mick “Heat Wave” Rory, Hawkgirl and Hawkman ultimately decide to stay on mission — hunting Vandal Savage, the immortal mad man who murdered Rip’s wife and son — and, in (possible) success, perhaps change their own humdrum fates.

Part 1 of the CW premiere opens with Rip soliciting the servitude of each team member, which in specific cases leads Ray and Sara to seek counsel from Oliver and Laurel, respectively. (As luck would have it, Laurel already had contracted Cisco for a White Canary suit, so that her sis can be a hero in the light.) Only one candidate, Jax, shows hesitation — an issue remedied by a not-a-roofie from Firestorm’s gung-ho other half, Professor Stein.

Upon enlistment, the Legends meet Rip’s on-board AI, Gideon (voiced by Amy Pemberton); learn the ins and outs of “temporal navigation” aboard the Waverider (including blindness and vertigo); and first boogie on down to 1975, to meet a professor who specializes in all things Vandal Savage — and thus knows of the Hawkpeople. In fact, Dr. Aldus Boardman knows Kendra and Carter quite well, being their son from another era and all!

While the Hawks, Ray and Stein deal with Boardman, Leonard, Mick and Sara hit a ’70s bar, where they grab a buncha dollar beers and wind up in a brawl. They return to the Waverider in time to help Rip and the others fend off Chronos, a bounty hunter sent by the Time Masters to thwart Rip’s rogue mission. During the melee, Aldus takes fire and eventually dies from his wounds.

Aldus was fated to die soon, regardless. Besides, Rip says in explaining one of the show’s key rules to time travel, they cannot revisit a moment in which they have already participated. Or, time folds in on itself, Marty McFly’s parents disappear… and all that.

The hour closes with Savage laying his mitts on a nuclear warhead in 1975 Norway, setting the stage for what will be his first encounter with the legends now chasing him — in next Thursday’s Part 2.
