Librarian Returning To TNT

Cable network TNT announced that it is developing a sequel to the original fantasy adventure movie The Librarian: Quest for the Spear, which earned high ratings for the channel when it aired last December. At its upfront presentation in New York on April 12, the network told advertisers and reporters that star Noah Wyle will return in the sequel, which will once again be executive-produced by Dean Devlin (Independence Day) under his Electric Entertainment banner.

Wyle will reprise his role as unlikely hero Flynn Carsen, a librarian with 22 academic degrees charged with protecting a treasure trove of magical artifacts hidden beneath the Metropolitan Library. The new original movie is tentatively scheduled to air on TNT in the fall.

It was a fun escapist movie. The beginning was overacted by Wyle, but after that he settled down and gave a good performance. Sonya Walger was excellent as his partner and body guard. Good performances all around (Kyle MacLachlan, Kelly Hu, Bob Newhart, Olympia Dukakis, and Jane Curtin). The fight scenes were unbelievable, but most of the movie was tongue-in-cheek anyways, so it could be overlooked. Good comedy sequences spread thoughout the movie.

It's an interesting concept and more movies may be made in the future or even going to series. When it was in development, many observers thought it would be a hit and TNT ordered another movie based on the ratings. Watch it if TNT ever decides to reair it.
