ABC taps David E. Kelly to develop sci-fi crime drama for fall 2007

By David Speakman • March 28, 2006

According to an article in the March 28 Hollywood Reporter, the BBC's crime-slash-science fiction drama, Life on Mars will be re-made for the U.S. ABC television network.

The story revolves around a modern-day detective who somehow gets transported back in time to the early 1970s. The BBC ran an 8-episode series earlier this year to critical and audience acclaim in the UK.

ABC has hired David E. Kelly (Boston Legal, The Practice, Ally McBeal) to develop the American version of Mars. It is being developed for the 2007-2008 season.

About the Author

David Speakman

David Speakman - known in fannish circles as Davodd - is recovering from almost 20 years as a professional writer and journalist in mainstream print and broadcasting. He recently "retired" from journalism, citing that too many mega-mergers caused news focus to shift from serving the public interest to serving up eyeballs to advertisers. Currently he works full time as a paralegal while attending night law school. A member of N3F on and off since 1984, David's fannish activities in recent days have been curtailed due to time and budget constraints of being a law school student; although he does manage to squeeze in episodes of Battlestar Galactica, issues of Weird Tales magazine and an odd superhero movie "now and then."
