Fox has pushed The Passage, its high-profile drama pilot from Liz Heldens, Matt Reeves, Scott Free and 20th Century Fox TV, until after pilot season.
The decision was made based on the scope of the project, an adaptation of Justin Cronin’s fantasy book trilogy, which requires longer lead time as it involves an elaborate production and visual effects.
The network and studio recently tapped top drama pilot director Marcos Siega to direct the pilot, securing a permission for him to do do the project from Warner Bros. TV where he is under an overall deal, serving as director/executive producer on new ABC series Time After Time after directing the pilot. (His pilot directing credits also include WBTV’s Blindspot, The Following and The Vampire Diaries.)
