Seth Gordon to Direct Pilot for LINCOLN Based on THE BONE COLLECTOR Books

Lincoln is a drama series from NBC that used to be known as The Bone Collector and the series is based on the book series by Jeffery Deaver. Now, Seth Gordon has joined the project as director and executive producer. Mark Bianculli and VJ Boyd have written the series and here’s a brief description:

“Lincoln follows legendary forensic criminologist Lincoln Rhyme, who was seriously injured during his hunt for the diabolic serial killer known as the Bone Collector. Called back into action when the killer re-emerges, Lincoln forms a unique partnership with Amelia Sachs, a young beat cop who helps him hunt the deadly mastermind while also taking on the most high-profile cases in the NYPD.”

I totally thought this was going to be an Abraham Lincoln series about him being an archaeologist or something. I’m a little sad I was wrong, but also very glad. We don’t need a repeat of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter after all. Is this a series that you’re excited for?
