Syfy has given movie filmmaker M. Night Syhamalan a put-pilot commitment to a new project called Proof, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story centers on the son of a billionaire tech genius who offers up a substantial reward to anyone who can find proof of life after death following the untimely death of his parents. Shyamalan will direct the project for Universal Cable Productions, with former Buffy the Vampire Slayer executive producer Marti Noxon signed on to produce and co-write the pilot alongside Shyamalan.
Meanwhile, Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls) and Robert Halmi Sr. are working with the network on a pilot of their own called High Noon, based on John Christopher’s cult 1969 young-adult sci-fi novel The Lotus Caves.
According to Deadline, Reunion Pictures will produce the 90-minute pilot, with production set to begin this fall in Vancouver. The site describes the story, which "creates a future where the countries of Earth have established colonies to mine the Moon's resources. When a new life form is discovered, chaos erupts as various factions race to uncover and exploit its powerful secrets."
It's a busy year for Fuller, who has Hannibal coming in the spring to NBC and also wrote and executive produced the pilot for The Munsters reboot at NBC, Mockingbird Lane.
