AMC GREENLIGHTS SCRIPTED DRAMA PILOT “LINE OF SIGHT”
From Creator, Writer and Executive Producer Blake Masters (“Brotherhood,” “Rubicon,” 2 Guns)
Project is a Co-Production of Fox Television Studios and AMC Studios
New York – April 25, 2013 – AMC announced today a pilot order for the scripted drama “Line of Sight.” The project is from writer, creator and executive producer Blake Masters (“Brotherhood,” “Rubicon,” 2 Guns) and is a co-production of Fox Television Studios (FTVS) and AMC Studios. “Line of Sight” is the story of Lewis Bernt, a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator who survives a mysterious plane crash, bringing him on a quest to discover the accident’s cause. Production is scheduled for later this year. The pilot marks the network’s first exploration of science fiction in an original series.
"Blake Masters has created a world and set of characters that defies the traditional boundaries of drama and sci-fi. It's got great elements of both genres while also having that unique blend of a conspiracy thriller. It is genuinely unexpected and unconventional,” said Joel Stillerman, AMC’s EVP of original programming, production and digital content. “It is also great to be working with our incredible partners at FTVS again."
“Line of Sight” is the genre-bending odyssey of one man, who, after surviving a plane crash dives head first down the rabbit hole on an emotionally disorienting search to find out what has happened to him. He becomes a man whose entire sense of self, his own life and the world as he knows it, completely unravels in a whirlwind of obsession and paranoia.
Stillerman, Susie Fitzgerald, SVP of scripted programming and Jason Fisher, SVP of production, oversee the pilot’s development and production.

The writers and porducers didn't attract my attention at all, but the synopsis seems promising so I'll keep an eye out for this one.
ReplyDeleteBrotherhood and Rubicon were two of the best series of the past decade or two so I am intrigued. ...
ReplyDeleteOf course being on AMC does not hurt either and makes me think that the Sci-Fi edge will be kept well under control and not get too kitschy or geeky.
Quite an interesting project over all!
I've never really bothered with Brotherhood. Do you think I would enjoy it?
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteIT takes a few episodes to really get into, but it has some seriously BRILLIANT performances by Jason Clarke, Jason Isaacs, Annabeth Gish, Finonula Flanagan, Kevin Chapman, Ethan Embry and Brain F O'Byrne.
ReplyDeleteIt's a real actor's show... great stuff.
Of course, some people just do nto connect with everything, but if you like ensemble series with slow-moving stories that really develop the characters and stories you should like it.
Looks interesting, will keep an eye out :)
ReplyDeleteSo if this show gets picked up, we're going to abbreviate it as LoSt, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks more interesting than average, I guess I'll take a look.
ReplyDeleteSounds nice! Rubicon was a good show and AMC rarely misses.
