Based on the novel of the same name by William Brinkley, The Last Ship picks up in the wake of a global catastrophe which nearly obliterates the earth?s population, forcing the crew of the naval destroyer USS Nathan James to confront the reality of their new existence in a world where they are among the only survivors. The series is produced by Platinum Dunes and stars Eric Dane (Grey?s Anatomy), Rhona Mitra (Strike Back), Adam Baldwin (Chuck) and Tracy Middendorf (Boardwalk Empire). Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, Andrew Form, Steven Kane (The Closer) and Hank Steinberg (Without a Trace) serve as the executive producers.

TNT has gone ahead of schedule and given a 10-episode series order to explosive action filmmaker Michael Bay?s post-apocalyptic drama, The Last Ship. The series, starring Eric Dane (Grey?s Anatomy) is one of the two pilots (the other being Legends) at TNT that have been awaiting a series order.

The Last Ship is based on the novel of the same name by William Brinkley and it is not set to premiere until 2014. The series will be helmed by Bay and his partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. Hank Steinberg (Without A Trace) has been named as showrunner, with Steven Kane (The Closer). Kane and Steinberg penned the pilot together, which was directed by Jonathan Mostow.

The Last Ship begins with a global catastrophe that nearly wipes out the world?s population. Because of its positioning, the Navy destroyer U.S.S. Nathan James avoids falling victim to the devastating tragedy. But now the crew and its captain must confront the reality of their new existence in a world where they may be among the few remaining survivors. Dane plays the lead role, Captain Tom Chandler, a Navy man who has all the important qualities of a strong leader: authoritative, decisive, fair and courageous.

?The Last Ship has all the elements of a big Hollywood blockbuster, from its epic storytelling to its top-notch cast headed by the perfect leading man, Eric Dane,? said TNT?s head of programming Michael Wright. ?Michael Bay and his fellow executive producers have shaped William Brinkley?s story and characters into an exceptional drama full of action, suspense, tragedy and triumph.?

You can check out the trailer for the series below.

Sorry Rappy, didnt see there was a topic about this already.

Thanks for merging the topics :)

Will watch for Adam Baldwin, I can't get enough of these post apocalyptic themed movies/tv shows/games

If i'm not mistaking, in the last several years, all the post apocalyptic themed TV shows didnt hold more than 1 season.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
