Vid-Biz: Quarterlife, Damn, Rocketboom
Quarterlife Launches on Sunday (Is it Going to NBC?); high-profile MySpace series hits the Net on Sunday, and thanks to the writers’ strike, the peacock is reportedly in talks to pick it up for TV. (Announcement: emailed release; NBC: The Hollywood Reporter)
UPDATE: NTV was scheduled to interview Quarterlife’s co-creator Marshall Herskowitz this afternoon, but he had to cancel because of laryngitis. Coincidence that it was on the same day that the NBC rumor started? We asked about the show’s TV prospects and here’s the response from a Quarterlife spokesperson:
“quarterlife” was conceived as an Internet series and is debuting on the Internet on November 11 on MySpace, and on quarterlife.com the next day. We have had discussions with various networks. We have consistently said that we welcome the opportunity for the series to be broadcast on a network.
