So when is Nancy Drew going to go butch?
Seems like that would be a delicious new adaptation for the modern awakened audience.
I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.
CW has a Nancy Drew show; from what I read, evidently the IP rights to Tom Swift are somehow tied up with the Nancy Drew IP? Might have misunderstood something. I always thought Nancy Drew was a derivative of the Hardy Boys.
Anyways, I watched a couple youtube trailers for the CW presentation of Nancy Drew and it appears to have her relatively robotic, unattached, possibly even asexual. The actress has even a bit of a dead-in-the-eyes look, like they were specifically aiming for "Nancy can never be thought of as hot," which is weird because it's not like this version of Nancy is a superyoung teenager or something; she looks mid to late 20's. Same kind of energy as the doctor lady from the old David Boreanaz show, "Bones." They don't seem to harp on steamy romantic potential like a lot of CW tweener stuff does, milking that Twilight vibe so many of their shows have. Not going to commit to watching any actual episodes to explore further, I never liked Nancy Drew even as a literary character and have no interest in following a CW presentation of the same concept.
