Okay—so just what “highly anticipated” pilot is FX going to present in Room 6DE at Comic Con?
The current programming schedule reads as follows:
9:30-10:30 FX Pilot Sneak Peek Screening— Surprise! Stop by for a special Saturday night sneak peek at one of FX's most highly anticipated pilots. At press time, details of this exclusive screening event were unable to be released by FX, so please check the room sign outside of Room 6DE for updated details. Room 6DE
The two most likely possibilities are American Horror Story or Powers.
Glee creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have created another cutting-edge concept to television. In American Horror Story, Ben and Vivien Harmon (Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton) bring their children to San Francisco after their marriage struggles with the weight of a miscarriage and infidelity. Much of the story has been shrouded in mystery, but we learn that the family’s new home may also be haunted. Jessica Lange plays an overly curious neighbor who seems to understands the secrets of the Harmon’s residence.
Production ended on the American Horror Story pilot in mid-June, while Powers should have begun shooting in early July according to Brian Michael Bendis, who co-created the book from which it is adapted, with artist Michael Avon Oeming.
Powers is the story of two detectives in a world inhabited by costumed heroes, who investigate homicides related to victims with super powers. This is not, however, set in the world of Marvel or DC—Bendis and Oeming have established their own universe so that they may tinker with familiar archetypes who would otherwise be untouchable in those universes. Powers stars Jason Patric as Christian Walker and Lucy Punch as Deena Pilgrim.
We should be hearing which pilot will close Saturday night at Comic Con sometime prior to the big event. Well, at least just prior to the screening.
