FOX TV PLOTS GRAVES
Variety reports that Fox TV has ordered a pilot for the supernatural series BRIAR & GRAVES, described as a cross between THE X FILES and THE EXORCIST. The script by executive producer Paul Scheuring involves a hardboiled priest (?!) who joins forces with a female doctor to investigate unusual religious phenomena. Scheuring tells the trade, ‘I wanted to see this righteous grungy dude whos the long arm of the Lord [why isnt that the title?]. The shows supposed to be creepy, but its also supposed to be a fun ride.’ As the trade noted, BRIAR & GRAVES bears more than a passing resemblance to David (THE OMEN) Seltzers NBC series REVELATIONS, in which a heroic nun joins forces with a male scientist to, well, investigate unusual religious phenomena. That show debuts April 13 and stars Bill (THE GRUDGE) Pullman, Natascha (FEARDOTCOM) McElhone, Michael (THE CROW) Massee and Tobin (SAW) Bell.
