Eleventh Hour “Promo” Video
If by “Promo” you mean “hostage”.
Things to look for:
1. Rufus Sewell looking like someone is menacing him with a BB gun just off-camera. (Note: this does not stop him from looking directly into the camera several times, as if seducing the audience. Or the cameraperson. Or the camera. All I’m saying is, we don’t know what Rufus is into. Or his hostage handlers.)
2. The lobby music they play while they put up the question on the screen.
3. You wouldn’t know this without checking the other videos, but the other six videos are of the actors on set, and Rufus has this crazy 6th-grade-photo backdrop, which means he probably has no set. The probably filmed this in his apartment just after they told him the show was getting cancelled.
4. Favorite answer is probably the first one, about what drew him to the character. Transcript: “Word salad word salad word salad word salad, and I liked his jackets.”
5. Favorite moment is when he talks about how much he gets along with Marley Shelton and how their characters have a “spark”, because that’s total Hollywood-speak for “she hates me so much she spits in my soup”. AWESOME.
5. Has anyone seen an actual TV spot for this show? Am I currently this show’s only means of promotion? I mean, seriously, tune in tonight, because this might be the only episode it ever gets! (Here is their promotional acumen: they would not let me embed this video. Way to reach potential viewers, CBS!)
Check it out on the CBS official website, then, I guess!
P.S. Check out the IMDB mainpage header. It’s Rufus Sewell’s subway ad! Stark white, starkly googly. Please note in the full-on shot right next to it, he looks perfectly normal. Looking at these pictures side by side, I do not understand why CBS thought that maybe a 3/4 view highlighting the googly eye was such a good plan, since clearly they’ve lost one angry viewer in Queens already.
(It’s TONIGHT! I could not be more excited for hilarious DNA exposition and long pauses for no reason.)
