Past Life premier -- filming comes to Baltimore

past life premier Baltimore's Enoch Pratt library will get a prime time appearance Tuesday, in the premier of "Past Life" on Fox. Rooms in the Central branch will play several roles, including those of FBI and lawyer's offices. Here's Pratt director Carla Hayden examining a set in the board room. (She may be wondering why she doesn't get a director's chair.)

"Past Life" -- about investigators who use clients' past lives to help solve their cases -- has strong literary ties. It's written by David Hudgins, who adapted "Friday Night Lights," and is inspired by "The Reincarnationist" by M.J. Rose. Unfortunately, we won't see a lot of Baltimore. Although the pilot was filmed here last spring, the series was shot in Atlanta.

Although I don't "believe" in any type of reicarnation, I may have watched "Past Life" for entertainment. But in the first program the gratutious comment about Jesus totally turned me off. Not that I'm a Bible-thumper... but I do love and respect Jesus and this unnecessary and totally unrelated comment was a total turnoff to me and I will be sure to share my feelings with my friends, family and anyone who cares. Or doesn't.
