In "It's a Wonderful Life," Clarence – angel, second class – got his wings the old-fashioned way: He earned them. Times have changed.
In "Fallen," Tom Skerritt plays Zeke, a fallen angel, whose wings have been clipped and whose hopes of readmittance into the celestial ranks hang on a teenager with a cluttered adolescent agenda of wrestling practice, college applications and burgeoning romance.
The special -- a two-hour movie pilot for a limited series to air sometime in 2007 – is based on the books by Tom Sniegoski and will premiere Sunday, July 23, 8-10 p.m. on the ABC Family cable channel.
Paul Wesley is Aaron Corbett, an adopted high-school senior who discovers on his 18th birthday that he can talk to his dog and stop time. It turns out that he is really a Nephilim, that is, the half-breed offspring of a fallen angel – the one foretold by ancient prophecies who will redeem the fallen and return them to their former splendor.
