Sam Raimi Developing new Sci-Fi TV Series for FOX!
Sam Raimi snd Joshua Donen from Star Road Entertainment have sold three new TV projects to three seperate networks, and one of them is a very cool sounding sci-fi series called Smokers.
Smokers has been set up at FOX, and it comes from comic book and TV writer Brian K. Vaughan, best known for his work on the comic book series Y: The Last Man, and as a writer on ABC's LOST. This is a high concept sci-fi drama based on an original idea from Vaughn. The series revolves around a documentary crew following working class heroes who exterminate alien threats in deep space.
Sounds pretty freakin' awesome idea to me! Let's hope to hell it turns out being a good show so it doesn't get cancelled after two episodes.
As for the other two TV shows, ABC picked up a untitled series that centers "on a top female prosecutor in Los Angeles, whom Zotnowski describes as a female vigilante with a law license." Then CBS picked up a show called Lancaster that centers on "a Scotland yard detective who joins the LAPD."
Smokers defintity is the most interesting project og the three shows. What do you all think?
