Two pilots for The CW
January 28, 2010 in News by Richie
Another season, another remake for The CW. The green network will next tackle a remake of the 90′s action thriller ‘Nikita’, by famed french director Luc Besson.
The film spawned a television series in the late 90′s, starring Australia’s Peta Wilson, under the title ‘La Femme Nikita’. The Canadian/US spy drama ran for five seasons on cable network USA Network.
The CW’s ‘Nikita’ remake will follow the assasin who is trained to replace the original Nikita, after the original goes rogue. The Warner Bros. and Wonderland Sound and Vision project will be written and executive produced by Craig Silverstein, with McG and Peter Johnson serving as executive producers.
The second project hails from the creator of ‘Gilmore Girls’, Amy Sherman Palladino and her husband/producer Dan Palladino. The untitled family drama will be set on a horse farm in Wyoming.
