From Vulture – One of the many Walking Dead writers “let go” recently, Charles H. Eglee (Dexter, The Shield, Dark Angel) is now closing in on a deal to write and produce Powers for FX. The network is said to be high on the project, with a pilot order considered very, very likely. Kevin Falls (Journeyman) is also on board to write/exec produce.
Hailing from Sony Pictures Television, Powers is the long simmering TV adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis’ comic series, which revolves around homicide detectives who investigate cases linked to people with extraordinary abilities.
So basically, think Heroes, FX style.
Powers (vol 1) Description:
Heroes glide through the sky on lightning bolts and fire. Flamboyant villains attempt daring daylight robberies. God-like alien creatures clash in epic battle over the nighttime sky. And on the dirty city streets below, Homicide Detective Christian Walker does his job. Walker has to investigate the shocking murder of one of the most popular super-heroes the world has ever known: Retro Girl. He is teamed up with spunky rookie Detective Deena Pilgrim, and the murder investigation takes them from the seediest underbelly a city has to offer, to the gleaming towers that are home to immortal beings. As shocking, hidden truths about Retro Girl come to light, Walker finds that to solve this crime, he might have to reveal his own dark secret.
Oh, that’s cool!
Thanks for the info!
