ABC is getting ready for the release of its new series, "Life on Mars" which will hit the small screens on October 9 with the release of the show's promotional video. The footage is exceptional for its inclusion of Chris Cornell's brand new single "Ground Zero" which will appear on his November 4 solo album "Scream".
Lining up Jason O'Mara, Harvey Keitel, Jonathan Murphy, Michael Imperioli and Gretchen Mol as the main cast, "Life on Mars" is a cop drama adapted from the successful British series of the same name. The first episode is titled "Out Here in the Field" where NYPD Detective Sam Tyler is trying mightily to understand what's just happened to him and how he can get back "home" .
He finds himself in 1973 in the cultural hotbed of New York City during the tumultuous times of the Vietnam War, Watergate, women's lib and the civil and gay rights movements - without a cell phone or computer - suddenly hurtled back in time, ripped from 2008 after being hit by a car while chasing down a criminal.

Why? Why ruin one on the best shows ever by making a has-been-celebrity laden and over-retooled remake? If you want to see brilliance, just seek out the original BBC production, don't waste your time with this ABC train wreck.
I think this show is going to be a good one. How can it not be with this cast?? Michael Imperioli was so great on Sopranos. There is a video on abc's site about how they made the set true to 1973.
Great to heard Cornell, new series in the USa but here I'm an Aussie just great to see CC popping up all over the place. Great tune !
