Philip Marlowe Detective Drama from Andrew Marlowe, Terri Edda Miller and Michael De Luca put in development at ABC

ABC is taking another crack at bringing one of the most famous detective literary characters to primetime, this time teaming with the creator of its most successful crime-solving drama of the past decade. The network has put in development a Philip Marlowe drama project, inspired by Raymond Chandler’s famous hard-boiled detective, from Castle creator/executive producer/showrunner Andrew Marlowe (put your Marlowe pun in here) and feature producer Michael De Luca (Captain Phillips, Fifty Shades Of Grey). The project, from ABC Studios, where Marlowe is under an overall deal, is described as a smart, sexy and stylish update of Chandler’s character which follows the investigations of wisecracking, edgy and rugged private detective Philip Marlowe as he navigates the morally complicated world of today’s Los Angeles — where the bright California sun casts long and dangerous shadows…and where true love can be more difficult to find than justice. Marlowe is writing the script with his wife, Castle writer/consulting producer Terri Edda Miller, through their MilMar Pictures. The two are executive producing with De Luca through Michael De Luca Prods.
