Overview
- Reports Wednesday say James Mangold will co-write, direct, and executive produce a Cop Land series with Robert Levine as showrunner at Paramount Television Studios and Miramax Television.
- Deadline reports the project was recently shopped and has drawn four offers, though no series order or distribution deal has been announced.
- Paramount controls a large stake in Miramax, and Deadline calls this the most high-profile TV collaboration between the companies to date.
- Deadline links the series to Mangold’s overall deal signed with Paramount Pictures in September and to his talks with Miramax CEO Jonathan Glickman about adapting titles from the Miramax library.
- The 1997 film starred Sylvester Stallone as a New Jersey sheriff confronting corrupt New York City officers, with an ensemble that included Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert De Niro.
