Relativity and Georgeville Television have confirmed plans to develop a mind-expending series based on Neil Burger’s hit 2011 sleeper thriller LIMITLESS. Oscar-nominee and the film’s lead and executive producer, Bradley Cooper, will again serve as an exec alongside the film’s producers Leslie Dixon and Scott Kroopf.
Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh and Georgeville TV CEO Marc Rosen will officially announce the plans this week, commenting:
Limitless is the perfect example of Relativity’s multiplatform approach to creating quality content.
The film has an organic natural extension into a compelling and sophisticated one-hour drama that is both a thrill-ride and a social commentary.
The film, which co-starred Robert De Niro and Abbie Cornish, centred on a down-on-his-luck writer who finds his personal and professional life transformed when he begins taking a mysterious drug allowing him to access, enhance and extend parts of the brain most ordinary people cannot. However, he soon finds others want in on the action.
We’ll keep you posted as the cast and crew come together but don’t count on Cooper to return as the lead. A cameo in an episode or two? Possibly.
