Helming Star Wars 7 and having a few pilots in the pipeline was not enough for J.J. Abrams this week… he’s also attached to produce a newly-ordered pilot from NBC called Believe with Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban).
Cuaron and Mark Friedman (Home Of The Brave) are the writers behind the pilot, and this is how THR describes it:
An unlikely relationship develops between a young girl with a gift and a man sprung from prison who has been tasked with protecting her from the evil elements that hunt her power.
According to Deadline, these powers will “come into their own” in seven years.
Believe is vying for a spot on NBC’s 2013-2014 schedule, though nothing is guaranteed a place on the roster just yet.
