DESCRIPTION:
(from Showtime's press release) Showtime Networks has ordered a new, eight-hour television event based upon last year's Golden Golden(R)-nominated miniseries, SLEEPER CELL, it was announced today by Robert Greenblatt, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. Michael Ealy ("Barbershop," "Their Eyes Were Watching God") and Oded Fehr ("Resident Evil: Apocalypse," "The Mummy") re-team for the frighteningly realistic drama, set to begin production in Los Angeles this summer. Creators Ethan Reiff & Cyrus Voris will continue to serve as executive producers. The controversial and unconventional drama delves into the harsh inner-workings of a Los Angeles-based Islamic terrorist cell headed by a charismatic and fanatical extremist (Fehr) and an Muslim undercover FBI agent (Ealy) who infiltrates it. Last year's mini-series featured a powerful and engrossing two-hour finale that will set the stage for the new SLEEPER CELL, which will continue to combine timely, meticulously researched storylines and complex characters to create an entertaining and thought-provoking television event. |
