The FX cable network recently had their Winter Press Tour and no word came about the status of the Powers television series for the network. Powers is a comic book by Brian Michael Bendis and published by Marvel’s Icon imprint, and it has been in development for television on FX.

PremiumHollywood.com‘s Will Harris caught up with the President and General Manager of FX, John Landgraf, to find the latest about the project.

“We have a new writer who came in and who’s working with Brian Bendis,” Landgraf confirmed. “He’s a really, really good writer who got really excited about the project. He came in, and they pitched us a new take. Because part of what you’re trying to do with Powers is that you have a great property, a really robust property, but it has to be adapted to become a weekly television series. So you’re asking yourself the question, ‘What stays and what goes?’ For example, the Retro Girl murder story: should that whole story be told in the pilot, or do we introduce it and tell it later? But the new writer and Brian have got a good take on it. They came in about two months ago and pitched what they were doing, and it was great.”
