NEW YORK, March 16 (UPI) -- The U.S. cable television network Syfy says it has ordered a 90-minute pilot called "Three Inches" from "Twin Peaks" writer-producer Harley Peyton.
The announcement was made Tuesday by Mark Stern, executive vice president of development for Syfy.
The action-adventure/fantasy will be produced by Fox Television Studios and executive producer Bob Cooper, whose Landscape Entertainment is also producing.
J.J. Jamieson heads up television for Landscape Entertainment. Peyton also serves as executive producer.
"Three Inches" is about what happens when "professional daydreamer and underachiever" Walter is struck by lightning and develops the ability to move any object three inches by using his mind. He's soon recruited by a covert team of superheroes each gifted with their own extraordinarily ordinary abilities, the network said.
"'Three Inches' is a fun, smart, off-beat spin on the superhero genre. It introduces a new group of crime fighters who possess some imaginative -- if not all that super -- powers," Stern said in a statement. "We look forward to working with Harley, Bob and Fox Television Studios on this project."
