'Castle' Air, ABC Developing David Blaine Thriller (Exclusive)

Alexi Hawley ABC is searching just for a little miracle. The network has acquired drama project In Like Fin from Castle producer Alexi Hawley and My Generation's Warren Littlefield. Based on David Blaine, the project involves Fin, an illusionist who's attracted into action in the covert government sting. Hawley will pen the drama and executive produce, with Littlefield attached just like a nonwriting Air. Blaine is not attached to the project. Endurance artist Blaine, named the present-day Houdini, is much better recognized for his high-profile illusions. In 1999, he was been hidden alive in the plastic coffin underneath a 3-ton water-filled tank for seven days across from Trump Place. He's been surrounded in the huge block of ice in Occasions Square for 63 several hours. ABC broadcast Blaine's first TV special, David Blaine: Street Miracle, in 1997. Finis the newest in the string of projects from Castle executive producers. Laurie Zaks and Moira Kirland are developing The Murder Season, an hourlong drama setup at ABC. Zaks can also be attached to the Lockharts, an hourlong musical drama occur the seventies from Ensure It Is Or Break It scribes Michael Gans and Richard Register, which is defined at ABC. Littlefield, meanwhile, is executive creating ABC's untitled time-travel project with author Scott Veach. He's also co-writing Showtime's adaptation in the Oni Press comic The Damned. Hawley is repped by CAA, Managemint and Hansen Jacobson. Littlefield's credits have Love, Corporation., and Keen Eddie. He's also repped by CAA.
