CBS has tapped Spike Lee to take on their television drama “Shark” with James Woods set to star.
Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV are behind the pilot, which stars Woods as an L.A. celebrity attorney who decides to become a prosecutor instead.
Spike Lee just finished directing Inside Man for Imagine and Universal Pictures, which will hit theaters March 24 with Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen starring. Lee told Daily Variety, “It’s the long arm of Imagine and Brian Grazer… We had a very good experience on Inside Man.”
Imagine’s Grazer, David Nevins and Ian Biederman (who also wrote the pilot) are exec producing “Shark.”
