Although the series earned a straight-to-series order, HBO has shut down production on David Fincher’s mysterious 1980s music video comedy Video Synchronicity. It’s not clear if the show is still alive, but if it does air, the version we see will probably be different from what was already shot.
The production has already into episode four, but it now appears that Fincher wants to go back and retool scripts and the series’ direction. Deadline reports that actors were even told that the show wasn’t going forward at all, although it doesn’t appear that the show is really dead.
HBO put in a series order in early May. The project has already undergone some changes, including Charlie Rowe (Red Band Society) replacing Tyler Ross (The Killing) as the show’s lead character, notes The Hollywood Reporter.
Rowe stars as a college drop-out who finds himself in Hollywood and in the middle of the fledgling music video industry. Fincher, who came up with the idea, certainly knows about the industry, since he has won two Grammys for directing music videos. He got started in Hollywood as a music video director before he landed his first feature gigs.
Fincher, HBO and Gone Girl writer Gillian Flynn are also developing Utopia.
