The Gift

[Raph's Girl]

From Sci-fi Wire:

The O.C. star Adam Brody is going behind the TV camera, teaming with Doug Liman and Dave Bartis' Hypnotic to develop a series about a vampire-hunting Los Angeles cop for NBC, based on Brody's idea, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Brody's as-yet-untitled drama for NBC centers on a rookie cop who joins a special unit of the L.A.P.D. that tracks the vampire population.

Separately, Hypnotic has set up the supernatural drama The Gift, from writers Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell, at The WB; it centers on a college freshman who discovers she has special powers.

Both projects are co-produced with the NBC Universal Television Studio, where Hypnotic has a first-look deal. (Both NBC and NBC Universal Television Studio are owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.)

Natalie Chaidez (New York Undercover) has been tapped to pen the Brody project, which has received a script commitment from the network. She is executive-producing with Brody, Liman and Bartis.

Brody most recently co-starred in the Liman-helmed summer hit Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Raph's Girl note: A cop who slays vampires??? Uh..wasn't that already done?? As for "The Gift"...so some gal finds out she's a mutant and has adventures?
