'Lost' Producer Carlton Cuse Teams With Randall Wallace On Civil War TV Show

When Lost ended earlier this year, everyone knew what show co-creator Damon Lindelof was up to next: Some cowboys, an Alien and more Star Trek. In the grand tradition of the show that made them famous, though, a mystery remained. What would Lindelof's co-executive producer, Carlton Cuse, choose as his follow up? Today we have an answer: an "event" series for ABC set in Virginia during the Civil War. He'll co-write the pilot with Oscar-nominated Braveheart screenwriter Randall Wallace, who just directed Secretariat, and the pair will co-executive produce. Wallace will direct the pilot if it gets picked up. That's all the info out there at the moment but one has to wonder, why all the Civil War news today? Thanks to Variety for the info.
