SCI FI Channel unveiled a slate of original scripted series pilots, including True Believer, developed in partnership with actress and comic-book fan Rosario Dawson, and The Stranded, the first release under the newly formed joint venture SCI FI/Virgin Comics.
True Believer is a two-hour backdoor pilot based on an original concept from Dawson, David Atchinson (Dawson’s co-author on the Image Comics series Occult Crimes Task Force), Matthew Spradlin and Tom Feister. The contemporary dramedy centers on a 20-something comic book nerd who hires a washed-up real-life superhero to be his crimefighting sidekick and to teach him the ropes.
Dawson will serve as executive producer, with Atchinson and Spradlin aboard to write. Feister will consult on the project.
