Fox has made a put pilot
commitment for a new Marvel action-adventure series, Fox's President of
Entertainment David Madden announced today.
The Untitled Fox Marvel
Project will focus on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess
mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family
joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to
survive. The series will be produced by 20th Century Fox Television
and Marvel Television, with 20th Century Fox handling physical production.
"Developing a Marvel
property has been a top priority for the network--and we are so pleased with
how Matt Nix has led us into this thrilling universe," said Madden. "There’s
comic book adventure, emotional and complicated relationships, and a rich,
existing mythology from which to draw. With the brilliant production crew
behind this project, it has all the makings of a big, fun and exciting new
series."
"Working with Marvel on a
television series for FOX has been a professional dream for our head of
development, Michael Thorn, and all of us at the studio," added Jonathan
Davis, President, Creative Affairs, 20th Century Fox Television. "Matt,
Lauren, Bryan, Simon, Jeph and Jim are a powerhouse team of creative artists,
and we can’t wait to get started on what will easily be one of this development
season’s most exciting new projects."
"Marvel Television is
thrilled to be co-producing with 20th Century Fox Television on our first
project," added Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer and Head of Marvel
Television. "Matt’s a huge fan of X-Men and his take on the X-Men, with
its rich characters and high-stakes adventure, is exactly the show we want on
FOX. It's a great team of creative producers who will be making something
entirely unique."
