Imagine’s The FBI Down But Not Out
In December I talked about Imagine TV/Brian Grazer’s project with Fox, The FBI. The latest news from Hollywood Reporter is not so good, as Fox has passed up this project. Now, CBS and TNT are both interested in this new FBI drama, as it’s being shopped around to other networks. Fox paid a penalty by passing up this series, so it makes you wonder what went wrong.
What this means for us is a bit of a wait until one of these networks makes a decision. How hard can it be when you have a series about the world’s top investigative organization, full backing from the agency itself, and an amazing plot – an Iraqi war vet becomes tapped as head of the FBI’s new Critical Incidents Response Group. To top it off, the story is based on a real person. Chap Taylor (Changing Lanes) is the writer for this project.
You can never tell what sort of behind-the-scenes logistics are required to make a series like this, but we hope that it’s nothing too serious (politics, lawsuits, etc.) since Imagine and 20 Century Fox are not commenting.
