We got a name actress finally.
Good to hear the pilot is in production this season.
Cool! Maybe she will catch a New York Airways flight from the Pan Am Building helipad to get to work.

Re: Pan Am 1960s period series greenlighted
Well the series is happening.

Interesting that ABC a major network will be going after a serialized series ala Mad Men or Heroes. They did this though with the Defying Gravity sci-fi series but that was a co-production. I am looking forward to this 1960s period series.

Why did you resurrect a 2 month old thread when there are already 2 threads dealing with pilots and the fall tv schedule?
trailer
and here is the 1:45 trailer for the series:
Pan Am - ABC Network
they even have a helicopter landing on top of the Pan Am building in NYC...all-CGI too...
it looks great though! like Mad Men on ABC.

Re: trailer
Is there any other source for this? It's not available outside the US unfortunately

Re: trailer
Now that's more like it!
That previous trailer I saw looked pretty pallid by comparison.

Re: trailer
Sorry I'm a little late, thanks for the link. I can live without the smoke up at cruise like that. That Jet Clipper looks real purty, but it looks like whoever did the CG model mirrored the right wing for the left, so there's a compressor on number one engine where there shouldn't be.
The show looks more soapy than I'd like, but I might give it a look.
Yeah, once the cigarette smell finally faded away!

The trailer looks pretty cool indeed

Love the 1960s look, clothes and stuff..and the 707s
Difficult to say anything about the writing yet..but the cast seems fine.
Nice to see Christina Ricci there, I hope she is more than just a guest in the pilot
Will be interesting if this goes as faithfully to the details of the period, like Mad Men has done
Some have already complained that the women in the show are not "curvy enough".
Not sure if that criticism is valid, though..or where all the women like Marilyn Monroe during those day?

Re: trailer
Don't worry -- I'm sure the network will get plenty of nitpicking letters from aviation geeks, and that mistake will be corrected in future episodes.
I had zero interest when I first heard about the series, but now I really want to see it mostly for the production work on it. Those sets are nicely done and man, seeing "Pan Am" on that building made me feel like a kid again for a moment.
She's in the regular cast.
I know airlines had creepy weight restrictions for stewardesses, so maybe they were all skinnier than would have been considered ideal for the times? Joan from Mad Men would have been way over the limit (not that she'd make a good stewardness, she'd probably dump a drink on the first passenger who got out of line).
