SDCC 2015: The New Promo For BLINDSPOT Shows Just How Badass Jaimie Alexander Is!

Tonight is preview night for Blindspot. It's one of several shows enlisted for NBC's Fall slate and its done a hell of a job with what it has so far. The very first trailer premiered back in May and it was nothing short of impressive in showcasing actress Jaimie Alexander in sleek, cunning fashion as a tattoo-laden loner who awakens naked in a dufflebag only to discover she's beyond badass in more ways than one.

Fast forward to this week as preparations are in place at San Diego Comic-Con for NBC's electric panel for the screening of the pilot on Saturday, July 11 in Room 6A hosted by Warner Bros. Television; September 21 at 10:00pm EST is the official date and time the pilot will premiere. Ahead of then we now have a new preview making the rounds online featuring Alexander at the center of the story illustrating the essential highlights of our heroine's skillset which you can check out below the aforementioned announcement. (H/T: TV By The Numbers)

From executive producer Greg Berlanti and writer/executive producer Martin Gero comes “Blindspot”: A vast international plot explodes when a beautiful Jane Doe is discovered naked in Times Square, completely covered in mysterious intricate tattoos with no memory of who she is or how she got there. There’s one that’s very clear, however: the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller, emblazoned across her back. “Jane,” Agent Weller and rest of the FBI quickly realize that each mark on her body is a crime to solve, leading them closer to the truth about her identity and the mysteries to be revealed. 

Fans can discover “Blindspot” at Tin Fish restaurant in Gaslamp Square. They will be able to receive both temporary tattoo sleeves and partake in a photo op where their head will be placed on a tattooed body, similar to the character of Jane Doe in the new NBC drama. 

Also, throughout the Gaslamp District, fans can go on a scavenger hunt to search for and find the Jane Doe look-alikes. Once found fans can text “Blindspot” to a number tattooed on her body and receive the next step to enter for a chance to win $1,000. 

Fans at Comic-Con can get their first look at “Blindspot” during the show’s world premiere as part of Warner Bros. Television’s annual Preview Night screenings on Wednesday, July 8. 

Warner Bros. Television’s “Blindspot” Q&A panel, which will include a pilot screening and be moderated by Yahoo! TV editor-in-chief Kristen Baldwin, will feature star Jaimie Alexander and executive producers Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Martin Gero. 

“Blindspot” premieres Monday, Sept. 21 at 10 p.m. on NBC.

STRIKE BACK: THE FINAL MISSION Launches A Last Assault In The Latest Trailer In Featurette

Cinemax series, Strike Back, has been one of the most interesting and thrilling shows I've seen. The network really had something going for itself following its premiere in 2011 and now it's coming to a close, and although there will be more shows to come on the network, I can't ignore just how awesome this program is.

Actors Philip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton have done a fantastic job as odd couple brothers-at-arms for covert ops unit Section 20, dodging all sorts of dangers and close calls that have consistently put them in death's reach, and there are other characters that have come and gone who've really added poignance to the show's growth. It's also good timing as the two leads are now branching out with their careers with upcoming TV shows on NBC - Winchester's The Player and Stapleton's Blindspot, so with the fourth and final run in Cinemax's Strike Back: The Final Mission, brings an otherwise suitable title for one of the best shows in television history.

This month, Cinemax rung in the Summer with a new trailer and featurette that highlights what's in store for the final season which premieres July 31 at 10:00pm EST. Hong Kong action legend Michelle Yeoh joins the cast along with returning actresses Michelle Luke and Miluana Jackson and many more.

Blindspot is the name of this in an admirable slate of Fall programming for NBC with Strike Back star, actor Sullivan Stapleton joining in on the intrigue with a lead that surely promises something thrilling for the small screen, as Alexander herself continues to showcase a powerful hybrid of acting and action talent.

A vast international plot explodes when a beautiful Jane Doe is discovered naked in Times Square, completely covered in mysterious, intricate tattoos with no memory of who she is or how she got there. But there's one tattoo that is impossible to miss: the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller, emblazoned across her back. "Jane," Agent Weller and the rest of the FBI quickly realize that each mark on her body is a crime to solve, leading them closer to the truth about her identity and the mysteries to be revealed. From Executive Producer Greg Berlanti ("The Mysteries of Laura," "The Flash," "Arrow").

Stapleton To Star In THE LAKE, Quale To Direct

With his appearance looming in the final season of the hit Cinemax series, Strike Back, actor Sullivan Stapleton is certainly showing no end to his current career progress as an action star. His role in last year's 300: Rise Of An Empire is a fair example of this and that has since caught the attention of EuropaCorp's Luc Besson and Christophe Lambert in lieu of their latest North American distribution arm, RED.

On that note, Deadline reports that the two are preparing to kick off a new action production with Stapleton leading as the first of their initiative with The Lake. Details on the cast are currently pending but the film will have Into The Storm helmer Steven Quale directing from a script by The Equalizer scribe Richard Wenk which tells of a group of Navy SEALs in war-torn Serbia who set out to solve an ancient mystery while searching for treasure buried deep underwater.

Filming is expected to commense in April while Stapleton's next theatrical appearance in the darkly comedic assassin flick, Kill Me Three Times on April 10 after its VOD release later this month from Magnet Releasing. The actor is also poised to make and his latest addition to the NBC pilot, Blindspot later this year as well.
