Thanks to laura3341 for the heads up.
Former ER executive producers John Wells and Jack Orman are
reuniting with NBC for a new high-profile medical drama
project. The network has given a pilot production
commitment to Outbreak , an hourlong series based on
the hit 1995 Warner Bros feature directed by Wolfgang
Petersen and starring Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman
and Rene Russo. This marks one of
the biggest commitments to a drama project so far this development cycle.
Co-written by Wells and Orman, Outbreak is described as a medical thriller that follows an ensemble of characters as they race to contain a lethal virus before it becomes a global pandemic. Warner Bros TV and studio-based John Wells Prods are producing, with Wells, Orman and JWP’s Andrew Stearn executive producing. I hear Gail Katz, who was a producer on the movie, also is expected to be involved in some producing capacity.
