Bradley Cooper, well-known for his work on “Guardians of the Galaxy” got a lot of praise for his role in the film “Limitless”, which is now getting extended into a TV show. And it certainly didn’t come as a surprise to many to hear that Cooper will be reprising his role from the film in the TV show as well. In the original “Limitless”, we got to see Cooper as a writer who boosted his mental abilities with the help of a drug called NZT, allowing him to achieve many things previously impossible for his brain.
This affected him in both his personal as well as private life, letting him realize his true potential. Now, in the TV show, we’ll see Eddie Mora (Cooper’s character) as a more senior version of himself, having attained the rank of senator and aiming for the presidential spot. He’s taken another NZT user under his wing, Brian Finch, and is teaching him his ways in order to help him realize his own true potential.
Finch has been recruited by the FBI to assist them in solving various complicated crimes with the help of his newfound mental abilities, but he also maintains a secret relationship with Eddie Mora, unknown to the FBI. It looks like there will be a lot of intrigue and behind the scenes tricks in the new series, and knowing how much of the film revolved around such plot devices, we can assume fans are going to be very satisfied.
Currently, Cooper himself is in London where he’s planning to soon start his West End run of “The Elephant Man” with the launch date of May 19. Cooper got nominated for a Tony Award for the role he took in the play, and his fans got a chance to see him on the stage in New York in the winter.
The new “Elephant Man” was a lighter version of the original play from 1977, but it’s still based on the true story of Joseph Merrick, an Englishman suffering from deformities, and it still revolves around his life. Viewers are presented with the transformation of Cooper into a deformed man from a normal state, and then they are given an opportunity to get to know him better and accept him for who he really is, seeing him as a human underneath.
There have been lots of positive comments about the play as a whole and Cooper’s own performance in it, and even though it omits some elements from the original, most critics agree that it’s definitely an experience worthy of one’s time.
