I invite you to check out a web pilot for this show called The Remnants. From the Vimeo page:
The pilot for The Remnants, written and directed by John August. Starring Justine Bateman, Michael Cassidy, Ben Falcone, Ze Frank, Ernie Hudson, and Amanda Walsh.
It was shot during the WGA strike in February 2008, using the SAG internet agreement.
The project is currently in development with 60Frames in association with NBC/U, so it could in theory become a series at some point. Either way, we had a good time making it.

Who doesn't love the apocalypse? Whether it's from zombies, nuclear war, strange viruses, or robot uprisings, the apocalypse is a breeding ground for excellent entertainment. And yeah, I would like to see more of the Remnants. It reminds me of Shaun of the Dead (minus the zombies) ever so slightly and for some reason I have an aftertaste of The Guild going on as well. Neither of those fully encapsulates the flavor of Remnants, however. Perhaps Eureka or Invisible Friend? Ah, confound it. Just watch it already!
