CBS picks up Limitless pilot
After taking an experimental drug that greatly increases the brainpower it can devote to TV adaptations of recent movies, CBS has announced that it is developing a pilot based on the 2011 Neil Burger film Limitless—which starred a pre-space raccoon Bradley Cooper. We last heard about the Limitless adaptation about a year ago, but now the project is officially moving forward. According to Variety, Craig Sweeny—an executive producer on Elementary—is writing the pilot, and Cooper, Burger, Super Best Friends Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and about 95 other people will be executively producing it.
