NEW YORK, May 3 (UPI) -- U.S. filmmaker Oliver Stone and writer-producer Bruce Wagner are developing an hourlong scripted drama television series, EPIX announced.
The small-screen adaptation of Wagner's novel "Still Holding" will be Wagner and Stone's first project under a development deal with the multi-platform premium entertainment channel, video-on-demand and online service.
The series is to explore the "colliding worlds of three disparate people in Los Angeles, and the violent consequences of love and betrayal, of holding on and letting go," EPIX said in a synopsis.
Stone and Wagner will serve as executive producers. They previously worked together on the miniseries "Wild Palms."
"I'm interested in the possibilities in television," Stone said in a statement. "When a company like EPIX comes along, it's a chance to break new ground. They want to make their mark. They want to entertain and provoke; they don't want their drama or comedy watered down. The team at EPIX showed early on they could provide the supportive environment and creative freedom necessary to recognize the vision Bruce and I have for 'Still Holding.' EPIX has the two vital organs that are essential to all human endeavors: guts and heart."
