Rupert Grint is reported to star in an pilot for an NBC drama based on comic book mystery. No word yet on what the series will be called, or if it will be officially picked up by NBC for the upcoming spring or fall season.
Quote:
Written by Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta and Life In Pieces and Secrets & Lies producer Aaron Kaplan, the untitled drama was developed for Grint, a big comic book fan.
The British actor would star as Rupert, a low-level New York office drone obsessed with Imperial City, a comic book series his father created before his death. Rupert has spent his whole life believing he owned all nine issues. But when a mysterious comic book collector reveals the existence of a tenth issue, Rupert discovers that the world of Imperial City is real, and he is the one person who can save it.
This won't be the first time the Harry Potter took part in a pilot. A few years ago he recorded the pilot episode of the dark comedy
Super Clyde, which was never picked for series by CBS. This could easily happen with this new drama. For now, it is just a pilot scheduled for Rupert to shoot, but not guarantee yet that the series will make it to NBC.
