Fox developing eco-terrorism drama

Fox has picked up the script for "Far From the Tree," a character drama centered on the family of an eco-terrorist.

Becky Hartman Edwards will pen the script and executive produce along with "Gangster Squad" director Ruben Fleische. Hartman Edwards executive produced "Switched at Birth" and has writing credits on "Sex and the City," "Larry Sanders" and "American Dreams."

"Far From the Tree" will focus on a family whose lives are turned upside-down after the eldest son is involved in a large eco-terrorist attack.

The parents and siblings of the eco-terrorist must confront the FBI, the media and their friends as they wonder how one of their own turned into a radical.

For Fleischer, the drama is part of an overall deal with 20th Century Fox. He's also working with "How to Make It In America" creator Ian Edelman on a Fox comedy called "F.O.M.O. (Fear of Missing Out)" in addition to currently producing the feature "Two Night Stand."
