British actor Tom Mison has landed the lead in Sleepy Hollow, Fox’s drama pilot written by Alex Kurtzman, Bob Orci and Phillip Iscove and directed by Len Wiseman.


quote:

A modern–day supernatural thriller based on The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, the project follows Ichabod Crane (Mison) as he partners with Sleepy Hollow’s Detective Abbie Archer (Nicole Beharie) to solve the mysteries of a town ravaged by the battle between good and evil. A captain from the Revolutionary War where he takes off a horseman’s head, Ichabod gets time warped into present day where he is confused by the modern technology but turns out to be a great detective once his enemy, The Headless Horseman, comes back to haunt the town.
Orlando Jones and Katia Winter co-star in the pilot exec produced by Kurtzman, Orci, Wiseman and Heather Kadin.

How can a short story be an entire tv show?

Can someone explain to me how the Ichabod Crane they're portraying bears any resemblance to the original story's Ichabod Crane?

Len Wiseman did the 2 or 3 of the Underworld movies. Could be cool.

That's all I could come up with too.

The idea for the show sounds like an idea you'd hear in comedy sketch about people pitching shitty ides for a TV show.

So a supernatural Sherlock Holmes helps solve supernatural problems. Sounds like Haven with an extra main character that's a ghost.

Yea it does sound a little Haven-ish. Doubt it will be as good but I'm willing to give any supernatural show a shot

this

I could see it being like a 10 episode single season series but they are probably going to want to pump out 24 a year for several years. (kind of how I feel about The Following)


and the whole time warp things seems... umm... well maybe it'll be good but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
