The Bruck is teaming up with the creators of Showtime's Sleeper Cell on a pilot for a one-hour adventure drama about a a globetrotting team of freelance treasure hunters, led by an ex-Navy SEAL turned archaeologist.
Writers Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff say they want a series that feels grounded in real-world politics while capturing reality TV drama, while avoiding the cheese of shows like the old Tales of the Gold Monkey that they call "tired retreads of Raiders of the Lost Ark shot on a TV budget."
They want their Indy retread to "feel cool and real. We want to make use of the current international situation as a backdrop."
Which sounds to us like Arabs instead of Nazis.
