Mermaid?


I'm looking for the pilot of a series called "mermaid" wich HBO's Aaron Spelling (producer of Charmed) was about to make. The series never had any other episodes except for the one hour during pilot. I'd really like to know where to get it... Can anyone help me out? Below some information I found on the web:


Mermaid (WB)

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The WB has ordered a one-hour mermaid pilot from Charmed showrunner Brad Kern and producer Aaron Spelling. The series centers on a mermaid, Nikki (Nathalie Kelley), rescued by a young man when she washes ashore. Her savior, Matt Johnson (Geoff Stults), is in utter disbelief of Nikki's true supernatural nature. The mermaids come from a sunken city and have supernatural abilities: superhuman strength and agility, can see in the dark, "read" emotions and have a connection with other sea creatures. But, there is another race of creatures out there and they are hunting for Nikki. Brad Kern, Aaron Spelling, and E. Duke Vincent are executive producing.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Who's Roger Daltrey has joined the cast and will play Eric Luger. Also, newcomer Natalie Kelley has been cast as Nikki and Geoff Stults (7th Heaven) has been cast as Matt Johnson.

Executive producer Brad Kern told SCI FI Wire, "The mermaid is being played by a fresh new face that we've plucked out of Sydney, Australia," Kern said. "We were casting literally around the world looking for our mermaid. We looked in London and New York and New Zealand, Hollywood, Florida, Melbourne and Sydney."

"I think we looked at around 300 people, and we finally found this amazing, fresh 20-year-old who is just an ethereal beauty. She's got a very unique look, which is what I was looking for. I wanted somebody to come out of the water who looked unlike anybody we've ever seen before. Her name is Natalie Kelley." (Last Updated: 5/11/05)

I don't think it was ever released, but man would that make a good show. Surprised no ones trying to do a show about Mermaids.
