In an early buy for this coming development cycle,
CBS has given a script commitment to Taxi-22 , an adaptation of
the hit French Canadian single-camera comedy, with James
Gandolfini attached to executive produce through his Attaboy
Prods. For the past three years, the project was set at HBO
where Attaboy has a deal. It went through three incarnations
with different writers and Gandolfini
loosely attached to play the lead at one
point. Search is now underway for a new writer to write
the CBS version, which is being produced by CBS TV
Studios. There are no plans for Gandolfini to star in the
show, which centers on a NYC cab driver who is
politically incorrect in the vein of Archie Bunker.
Gandolfini is executive producing with his managers Nancy Sanders and Mark Armstrong, Dennis Erdman, Clark Peterson, as well as the orisginal series’ creator/star, top Canadian comedian Patrick Huard, and his producing partner François Flamand. Erdman and Peterson licensed the w rights from Huard and Flamand and brought the project to Gandolfini.
