‘Souvenir, Alaska’: WBTV Teams With ‘Watchmen’ Producer On New Pilot – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Following a competitive bidding war, Warner Bros TV has landed the Mac Smullen spec pilot Souvenir, Alaska. Carly Wray will exec produce and oversee development, while Lee Toland Krieger will exec produce and direct the pilot. WBTV, where both have overall deals, had no comment on the project.

Sources say four other networks were chasing the pilot before WBTV put in the winning bid. While plot details are being kept under wraps, sources close to the pilot describe it as a cross between a Stephen King and Michael Crichton story.

It’s early days, but with King and Crichton as inspiration? And an EP who’s worked on Watchmen and The Leftovers? I’m intrigued.
