US cable channel AMC, which co-produces Hustle with the Beeb, has some interesting projects in the works, according to Variety:
- a hybrid family-horror drama set in suburbia from exec producer Richard Kelley (Donnie Darko)
- an American adaptation of My Life in Film
- graphic novelist Warren Ellis’ half-hour Dead Channel, a sci-fi story about a fictional entertainment industry
There’s more on Warren Ellis’s own site about what he’s up to, and it sounds interesting. Looks like AMC is trying to carve out an adult cutting-edge niche for itself.
