Not a whole lot to go off of, but there’s a sleekness to the footage expected from Fuqua. He knows how to make polished entertainment. Fuqua only directed the pilot, but his involvement in the series might be enough to get some people, such as myself, interested inIce. Can Cam Gigandet help carry a show? We’ll see if he can in November when the show premieres, butIcedoes have Ray Winstone in its corner, and he’s an actor that’s rarely not highly watchable. His presence in the teaser trailer definitely helps makeIcestandout a bit more from the other crime shows on television right now.
