Fox is taking on a new untitled CIA-themed project from scribe Harris Wilkinson and Peter Chernin's new 20th Century Fox TV-based production company. Chernin will exec produce the drama script through his Chernin Entertainment banner, which has now set up several projects this development season. Katherine Pope and Lauren Stein will also exec produce, and Len Wiseman is onboard to direct.

Plot Concept: The untitled spy thriller centers on a division of the CIA that specializes in "remote viewing" -- the ability to gather information using paranormal means.

This is great. I always thought this formerly secret government project would make a great movie or even better a great TV show. In fact it could fit in great as a procedural crime themed type of show similar to CSI and Law and Order.

The Men Who Stare at Goats is taking a comedic look at it, but remote viewing and influence  has great potential for dramas and action themes.

@Monkeyfoot - especially if they use the case numbers and grids. I can see them giving just the case number to each person - no details. Each RV'er comes back with a different picture which has to be pieced together into a whole. They could use those little obscure image flashes that they use on other shows when someone is trying to remember something to show how vague the RV images are.

RV'er 1 "I get the sense of a lot of people."
RV'er 2 "I get the sense of someone alone."
Lead "How can that be? This doesn't work!" (Then it turns out that the person was working alone but planned his attack for a crowded train station. Ah ha! It was all true after all! LoL)

Monkeyfoot, get your looney government programs straight! This is about CIA, MWSaG is about an Army project!

Geeze, next thing you're gonna tell me is that Hollywood is taking a primarily-Army operation - the invasion/liberation of Grenada - and turn it into a Marine mission.....

WarCry, why so grumpy :(

I was just speaking in general terms about the idea of government sanctioned psychic programs. In this particular discussion it doesn't matter whether the ideas are "looney" or which governemnt branch is working with them. It's just a scenario that is full of movie/TV potential that hasn't been tapped much.

I'm remote viewing you now - Stop playing with yourself! :-)

I wasn't being grumpy, just snarky/sarcastic....

 

Though the two are hard to tell apart in text....

 

BTW, if you're watching me, you owe me $19.95....
