THE SAINT Headed To Television With Eliza Dushku I would really like it if Roger Moore returned in an episode. But I guess we'll have to settle for Eliza Dushku.
One of the most famous versions of the Saint was Vincent Price. Also it's not Eliza as the Saint Eliza Dushku (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tru Calling) has joined the Brad Krevoy project as a love interest for English actor Adam Rayner ( Hawthorne,Dragon Age: Redemption ), who portrays Simon Templar in a backdoor pilot (A backdoor pilot is a television movie which is used to gauge audience interest. If popular, the tv movie will go on to become a television series). Simon West ( Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Expendables 2) is directing the pilot from a script by Jesse Alexander (Heroes, Alias).

A female Saint might've been interesting. Would be nice. Might happen. He hosted an edition of HIGNFY in the UK recently and looked like he was 6000 years old though so it wouldn't have to be anything strenuous.
I'm predicting it now: either the new Saint or Dushku's character is going to be the child of Simon Templar.
