THE LIBRARIAN is coming to TNT.

ER star Noah Wyle will play the overly smart curator of an ususual library where magical items are stored. After one of the library's items is taken and not returned, the librarian seeks the assistance of a young female martial artist to help him recover the overdue artifact. Wyle will film the TV movie before beginning his eleventh season on ER this fall.

THE LIBRARIAN will be executive produced by INDEPENDENCE DAY's Dean Devlin; Devlin's Electric Entertainment firm set the project up at the cable network. Screenwriter David Titcher (AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS) wrote the script and the film will be directed by Peter Winther. If THE LIBRARIAN pulls in ratings the plan is to make one of these a year for TNT, with Wyle continuing the character's adventures.
