Abrams (Lost, M:I-3, Star Trek, Super 8, Cloverfield) and Jonathan Nolan, co-writer of Christopher Nolan projects such as Memento, The Prestige and The Dark Knight.
The project is a crime-thriller TV series, which Jonathan Nolan has created. One US network is said to be very interested and given the almost peerless pedigree of Abrams and Nolan, it is not difficult to imagine a bidding war swiftly developing over this one.
Abrams (as we reported here) is already trying to put together a TV series set in San Francisco’s Alcatraz Prison, so this is another potential project to add to his already heaving slate of directing and producing projects (Super 8, Star Trek 2, M:I-4). We admittedly don’t know very much yet about this latest project, but we are officially very excited.
