from 'The Hollywood Reporter' today : -

Oscar-nominated actress Miranda Richardson, Christopher Evan Welch and Lauren Hodges are in negotiations to co-star in AMC's untitled political thriller from writer Jason Horwitch and Warner Horizon.

Allen Coulter has come on board to direct the drama pilot, which revolves around a secret society that pulls the strings on the world political stage and a brilliant analyst at a national think tank who discovers that his employers are not who they seem to be.

Richardson will play the widow of a billionaire who dies mysteriously, leaving her a cryptic message. The actress next appears in "The Young Victoria."

Welch ("Vicky Cristina Barcelona") will play a smart and arrogant analyst at the think tank.

Hodges ("My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star") will play the youngest analyst on the team.

Horwitch is exec producing the pilot with Joshua D. Maurer.

Yay I have always said Miranda should be in a tv drama. Will it be a series as it's a pilot? Hope she says yes and hope they make it soon. This is awesome. Wonder if it's very modern or alittle older. Can't wait if she does it. Thanks for letting us know Clive

[Mandy]

thanks for the info

[EarlyBird]

I hope she does this. Wonder how many episodes there will be as it's a pilot. Hope she is in all of them

[Rita, Oh Yes!]

Ooh, sounds intriguing. I do hope this goes ahead, and she does it.
