The Gifted One

It's a shame that it wasn't picked up. It would have made a good series or at least a 2 part movie so the audience wasn't left hanging. I was really disappointed that no one carried through with the project.

I hope after checking the reviews again that someone smartens up and finishes this with either another movie at or a TV series. Now would be a good time for it to be done. There are too many apocalyptic movies on and too much fear mongering about war. There is also a plethora of Prepper information floating around right. It makes you wonder if it is time to sell everything and head for the hills. Everyone needs a feel good boost about now!

The same here, I saw it by mistake on YouTube and I wanted to see the test, but it was never made. Sad, is entertaining

Would like to see this through. bad writing but that was the 80's. Seems almost like a highway to heaven plot show. was this what happened. Did Michael Landon pick this up.

Young man escapes from an organisation has special talents constantly travelling to avoid capture and in search of his mother. This pilot never went to series but several years later we have tv series The Pretender with a very similar concept. Peter Kowanko was terrific as Michael I had seen him previously in Solarbabies and Date With An Angel with some guest roles on various tv shows, it is a shame he retired from acting but as long as he is happy with his life no regrets.

I agree this could have been a great series for television but it got lost in the shuffle of the late 80's. I would love to see them remake it and turn it into a series and have all the questions answered. If they do remake this maybe they could get some of the original cast to reprise their roles. I know that the actor that played Michael has retired from acting but recast the lead role and relaunch it and see if it makes the grade for a series and if it does make the grade then get all the questions answered for everyone and here's a question that needs answering as well, "Where did they come from?". add all of those elements and it could be great
