Is Marley Shelton the new Scully?
Blonde goddess Marley Shelton must have really liked the script for the new TV show The Eleventh Hour to have put a thriving movie career on pause to take a shot at a regular living on the small screen. So is Marley Shelton the latest incarnation of Dana Scully from The X-Files, a title originally held by Gillian Anderson? Who knows, but she could very well be, although the 2008 TV season is full of potential Scully contenders. Marley Shelton is definitely one, and she’s even playing a fed to boot, and her show is sci-fi-based, just like the X-Files. But hey, never mind that. On a purely superficial basis, Marley Shelton is just awesome attractive.
Marley Shelton is an Ass-Kicking Government Spook
You gotta love TV. Where else can you find shows where the girl is tougher than the guys. Hopefully, Jerry Bruckheimer’s newest creation, The Eleventh Hour, will survive longer than all the other chicks-kick-ass TV shows like Bionic Woman. In Eleventh Hour, Marley Shelton plays an attractive government spook who helps a government scientist (played by Rufus Sewell) investigate wrongdoings in the science fields. Basically, they uncover crazy experiments that produces mutants and monsters and maybe even aliens, and it’s up to Marley Shelton to kick their asses while Rufus cowers in the corner. Well maybe not, but probably.
