01.21.10 PUSH IT REAL GOOD

Summit Entertainment, the studio responsible for Twilight (which has doomed us all), is co-producing a TV show based on their 2009 sci-fi thriller Push, which grossed $49 million on a budget of $38 million. I had to look up what that movie was about, because all I remember is Dakota Fanning in dreadlocks or something. THR says it’s “centered on people with paranormal powers who band together to take down a corrupt government agency.”  So it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

E1 Television will be airing the series in Canada.  No U.S. broadcaster has picked it up yet.  The pilot will be penned by David Hayter, the writer of Watchmen, The Scorpion King, X-Men, and X2. (One of these things is not like the others.  One of these things does not belong.)
