Outtakes from THE FADES

Posted by

Can’t get enough of THE FADES, the scary-awesome new series presented by BBC America’s Supernatural Saturday? Then, you won’t want to miss this exclusive collection of outtakes from behind-the-scenes of the production of season 1.

Join Paul & Mac on set as they film the critically-acclaimed coming-of-age fantasy drama – having fun, cracking jokes and goofing around as only they can. Plus, don’t miss Daniel Kaluuya’s dancing!

THE FADES follows seventeen-year-old geek Paul (Iain De Caestecker, Young Herriot), who is haunted by apocalyptic dreams that his therapist can’t explain. Neither can best friend and fellow social outcast, Mac (Kaluuya, Johnny English Reborn), or unsympathetic and much cooler twin sister, Anna (Lily Loveless, Skins). But trying to fit in becomes the least of Paul and Mac’s worries, as Paul’s horrific dreams become a reality and they are embroiled in a battle between the living and the dead.

ASUS P9X79 WS High Performance Workstation Motherboard Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

Republic of Gamers is the brand ASUS reserves for ultimate gaming boards, but it could be argued that the “WS” moniker is even more ultimate for some users. Personally I’d rather have the support for ub3r amounts of RAM and validation with high end RAID cards and whatnot than the gaming features. This thing is BAWSS!
