Trevor Rabin has been tapped to score the ABC drama pilot Zero Hour. The show is created by Paul Scheuring (Prison Break) and stars Anthony Edwards (ER) as a former editor of a skeptics magazine who becomes involved in one the most compelling conspiracies in human history when his wife is kidnapped. Michael Nyqvist (Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), Jacinda Barrett, Addison Timlin, Carmen Ejogo and Scott Michael Foster (Greek) are co-starring. Pierre Morel (Taken, From Paris With Love) is directing the pilot. Scheuring has also written the pilot’s script and is executive producing the ABC Studios production with Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, Red) and Dan McDermott. The network is expected to announce later this month whether Zero Hour will be picked up to series. (Kraft-Engel Management)
In related news, Varese Sarabande Records will be releasing Rabin’s first new solo album in two decades since Can’t Look Away this Tuesday, May 8. Trevor Rabin plays all of the instruments himself, with the exception of drums on the tracks, for which he brought in jazz/rock drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Frank Zappa), longtime Rabin drummer Lou Molino III, and Rabin’s son Ryan Rabin (Grouplove). He also brought in noted bass guitarist Tal Wilkenfeld (Jeff Beck, Herbie Hancock) and vocalist Liz Constintine who is featured on the track Rescue inspired by the 2006 film The Guardian starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher.
