Academy Award winning director Jonathan Demme is on board to direct a new TV pilot from the creator of Showtime’s crime drama ‘Brotherhood’; Blake Masters. Co-produced by Fox TV Studios and AMC Studios, LINE OF SIGHT will begin with Lewis Bernt, a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator, surviving a mysterious plane crash (remind you of ‘Lost’ anyone?) and setting out to discover what caused the accident.
Since his Academy Award for Best Director Demme has continued to make a whole host of movies including PHILADELPHIA, RACHEL GETTING MARRIED and THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. He has directed a couple of TV pilots but nothing that has taken off so this could be his break into regular programming!
There’s no casting confirmed for the project, or a schedule date, but this is definitely one to watch judging by the talented people behind the camera announced so far!
