Charlize Theron produced ‘Hatfields & McCoys’ set in modern times picked up
NBC has given a pilot order to Hatfields & McCoys, a modern-day Hatfields and McCoys drama project created by John Glenn (Eagle Eye) and produced by Charlize Theron and ABC Studios.
Deadline reports that there was a significant penalty at play if the project had not been greenlit.
John Glenn (Eagle Eye, The Lazarus Project) is attached to write a script for the pilot.
Theron will serve as an executive producer on the drama, which is set in modern-day Pittsburgh and sees the feud between the wealthy, powerful Hatfields and working-class McCoys reunited following a death.
This is not the only contemporary Hatfields & McCoys project in the works. History, which aired the blockbuster three-part miniseries about the famous feud starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton, is developing a reality series featuring the descendants of the Hatfields and the McCoys.
