HBO Considering Show on Military Intelligence
Sat, Apr 5, 2003 12:24 PM PDT
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The world of military intelligence is the subject of a pilot script in development at HBO.
The cable network bought the script from writer-producer Bryce Zabel -- who's also chairman of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences -- after he laid out the story line in detail. The show, called "Hearts and Minds," would follow a military reservist who returns to active duty following the Sept. 11 attacks and heads an intelligence task force.
The title refers to the military-intelligence mission of winning the sympathies of key contacts and the general populace before -- and after -- a military action.
"Since Sept. 11, we've all become compelled by the reality of using military force in the age of terrorism," Zabel tells the AP. "While bombs can win a war, an equal challenge is winning and keeping the peace that follows -- and that's the world 'Hearts and Minds' lives in."
In addition to chairing the TV academy -- which hands out the Primetime Emmys -- Zabel has written for and produced a number of series. His credits include "L.A. Law," "Lois & Clark" and "Dark Skies."
