Jeremy Piven to play a crowdsourcing vigilante in new CBS drama pilot
According to Deadline, Jeremy Piven has been cast as the lead in a new drama pilot from CBS called Wisdom Of The Crowd. That name may not be extremely snappy, but the premise is reasonably clever: Piven will play a “charismatic tech innovator” who develops some kind of crowdsourcing system to help solve his daughter’s murder, “revolutionizing crime-solving” in the process by allowing random people to act as mini-vigilantes. That’ll make it the latest project that attempts to integrate technological wizardry into a regular procedural format, coming in the wake of Fox’s APB and CBS’ own Pure Genius.
