David Yates , director of the last four Harry Potter movies, has
signed on to helm high-profile FX drama pilot Tyrant , from
Homeland executive producers Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff
and Six Feet Under alum Craig Wright. Yates replaces Ang Lee,
who originally committed to Tyrant but pulled out last month for
personal reasons. Created by Raff and developed by Gordon
and Wright, Tyrant tells the story of an unassuming American
family drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern
nation. Gordon, Raff and Wright executive produce in association with Keshet
Broadcasting. The Fox 21-produced project, which will film the pilot in Morocco,
has a big commitment at FX and is expected to go to series.
