Bruckheimer Giving ABC a Bullet-Proof Crime Drama?
So is ABC getting a taste of the Jerry Bruckheimer magic bullet success that CBS has enjoyed for so long? Sounds like it from the latest news (THR) of the network making deals for new pilots.
Of note, Bruckheimer is set to executive produce a yet unnamed series that follows a team of amateur detectives who work on cases of unidentified victims..for ABC!
Written by Mark Friedman, this will be Bruckheimer’s first scripted series on ABC.
Some years ago, the network passed on CSI, and most recently pursued Bruckheimer and the FBI drama series, Eleventh Hour. Eleventh Hour of course ended up on CBS.
No doubt the folks in charge have come to regret that first decision, as the CSI franchise is highly popular. One reviewer has even referred to the series as being the cop show that conquered the world. It could be the third time’s the charm for ABC, and of course, we know the series has to be good. So far there’s no word of more details of this new detective series, or possible actors.
So what else has Mr. Bruckheimer been doing? He’s been trolling MTV studios asking fans for a lead to play the Lone Ranger in a new film beside Johnny Depp as Tonto. He’s also produced a 3-D movie called G-Force, an adventure film about a covert government program aimed at training animals for espionage. Can you say Disney?
