The composer duo of tomandandy has recently scored the pilot for the ABC show Identity. The project centers on an elite police unit formed to combat the explosion of identity-related crime. The pilot stars Wentworth Miller (Prison Break), Angela Bassett (Malcolm X, ER), Tony Curran (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and Orlando Jones (The Time Machine). The project is based on the BBC TV show created by Ed Whitmore with the same title. Writer and producer John Glenn (Eagle Eye, The Lazarus Project) is adapting the show for American television. Mark Gordon (Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy) is executive producing through his production company. The pilot is directed by Gary Fleder, known for his feature film work including Kiss the Girls, Runaway Jury and Don’t Say a Word. ABC is expected to announce next week if the show gets picked up.
Tomandandy have a couple of other feature projects coming out in the near future. The horror thriller The Apparition produced by Joel Silver and starring Ashley Greene, Sebastian Stan and Tom Felton, originally scheduled to be released this September is currently awaiting a new release date in 2012. The comedy The Details directed by Jacon Aaron Estes and starring Elizabeth Banks, Laura Linney, Tobey Maguire, Kerry Washington and Ray Liotta premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and has been acquired by the Weinstein Company for a release later this year. Finally, Mark Pellington’s thriller I Melt with You starring Carla Gugino, Jeremy Piven, Thomas Jane and Rob Lowe also premiered at Sundance and has been picked up for domestic distribution by Magnolia Pictures. No release date has been set yet.
