NBC Developing a BONE COLLECTOR TV Series

As old ideas continue to be rehashed for new generations, next up to get the rejig treatment is The Bone Collector.

Via The Wrap, NBC is developing a TV series around a premise that began life as a novel by Jeffrey Deaver before being turned into a movie in 1999. Said movie was directed by Phillip Noyce and starred Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.

In this small screen take, the show will centre on Lincoln Rhyme, a retired forensic criminologist who’s been left paralyzed after a job went wrong. Drawn back to action by an intriguing new case, Rhyme will team up with an up-and-coming detective, Amelia Sachs.

Expect more on this as we get it.
