The key auspices behind FX’s long-running drama Justified have reunited for another series adaptation of an Elmore Leonard property.
A drama based on Elmore’s novel City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit is in early development at FX from Justified developer/executive producer Graham Yost and executive producers Michael Dinner, Dave Andron, Chris Provenzano, Sarah Timberman & Carl Beverly of Timberman/Beverly and Sony Pictures Television.
Justified was based on Leonard’s Raylan Givens stories, particularly Fire in the Hole, with Timothy Olyphant starring as the U.S. Marshal on the series. City Primeval does not feature the character but the idea is for the TV adaptation to incorporate him, with Olyphant potentially reprising his role.
I hear Olyphant, who recently returned to the FX fold with a starring role on the latest season of Fargo, is in talks to join the project.

The joke of Frank Capra’s 1939 classic movie is that, while Stewart’s character meant well, he’s essentially incompetent, and that the government’s in better hands with the corrupt politicians, who are, at least, smart. Millsap is definitely smart and competent, and in the first few scenes of “Kings” she’s also rather unsympathetic in her blithe dismissal of the people around her. Those people, however,...
