At the dawn of Braking Bad’s end, AMC is now venturing into a period piece with Knifeman and a post-apocalyptic sci-fi World with Galyntine.
Knifeman’s pilot was written by Rolin Jones (United
States of Tara) and developed by Jones and Ron Fitzgerald.
Set in 18th century London, Knifeman will focus on the
untold story of a charming, arrogant, decorum-breaking genius who challenges
societal norms to transform his visions into cutting-edge discoveries. A
surgeon or “barber” in a time when blood-letting and praying was the norm, John
Tattersal is a hard drinking, hard living man not afraid to push the boundaries
of modern medicine, even if it takes digging up a few graves to do it.
While he makes his living running an unlicensed
operating theatre out of his residence, he picks up extra cash harvesting
organs for his brother Julian, favorite son and prized physician of the St.
Stephen’s teaching hospital. Knifeman is a fast paced, entertaining romp filled
with emotion, tackling dark themes with a biting wit. The pilot was written by
Rolin Jones (United States of Tara) and developed by Jones and Ron Fitzgerald
(Last Resort), both of whom will serve as executive producers. Media Rights
Capital (House of Cards), Josh Donnen and Robert Zotnowski are also executive
producers. Knifeman is inspired by the biography of John Hunter by Wendy Moore,
“The Knife Man: Blood, Body Snatching and the Birth of Modern Surgery”
As for Galyntine it was written by Jason Cahill and
co-executive with Greg Nicotero.
Galyntine is a wholly-original vision rooted in a both
fantasy/action adventure and science-fiction. Our pilot takes place at a time
after a cataclysmic technology-induced disaster has resulted in a new society
that has eschewed any form of technology. This catastrophic event leaves small
numbers of survivors scattered around the planet and forced to adapt to
isolation and unique challenges. Galyntine will explore a post-apocalyptic
world in which humanity has evolved – with some strange detours. Galyntine is a
man’s journey of discovery through a changed world and its mysterious people.
The project is written by Jason Cahill (Halt and Catch
Fire, Fringe, Surface,Profiler) and executive produced by Cahill and Greg
Nicotero (The Walking Dead, This Is The End, Oz The Great And Powerful,
Transformers). David Zucker and Ridley Scott will also executive produce
through Scott Free’s (The Good Wife, Numb3rs) first-look deal with AMC.
