J.J. Abrams is pitching another show, this one’s called ‘Pulp’

The man who built Bad Robots Productions has another drama up his sleeve.  J.J. Abrams is prepared to pitch Pulp, described by TV Line’s Michael Ausiello as “an hour-long crime drama set in a slightly heightened reality,” to the networks as early as next week.  In pure Abrams fashion, he’s working with longtime collaborators including Monica Breen and Alison Schapker (Alias, Lost, Fringe) who wrote the script and will serve as executive producers if the show gets picked up.  Ear is to the ground with this one.

If you need a quick refresher, Abrams has three other series in the works: FOX’s Alcatraz, NBC’s Odd Jobs, and a CBS crime thriller called Persons Unknown.  Next fall can’t come soon enough.

Former ‘Lost’ execs Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz pitching new drama to ABC

The 2011-12 TV season is shaping up to be a promising must-see TV extravaganza for Lost fans.  In addition to the  J.J. Abrams/Bryan Burk/Josh Appelbaum/Andre Nemec buddy cop show starring Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson (aka Lost‘s John Locke & Benjamin Linus) picked up by NBC, there’s this: Former Lost executive producers and writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are currently developing a “top secret fairy-tale-themed drama series.”  According to Ausiello, the duo are about to pitch the drama to ABC Studios, since they still have an overall deal with the network.  If the show gets picked up (and I have no doubt it will–Kitsis & Horowitz are extremely talented producers with uber-successful Lost to back them up), a special someone is ready to serve as a consultant to the show.  Drumroll, please… It’s Damon Lindelof, co-creator and exec producer of Lost.  Boom, your pants just fell off.  Due to the top-secret nature of the project, Ausiello was only able to sniff out this tidbit of detail: the show will feature a female lead.  Evangeline Lilly, any takers?  OK fine, that would just be silly now wouldn’t it?  Both ears to the ground with this developing story.
