NBC developing drama project 'Zeroes'

NBC is developing a new drama project called Zeroes, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The hour-long show, written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, is described as a "high-intensity drama chronicling the last hour of a crisis situation".

Taylor said that the idea is to make "a crisis show that doesn't bore you with all of the buildup leading to the crisis", adding that they "want to drop right into it and sustain the absolute most berserk state of crisis, when all of the options have been exhausted.

"We want to take that last 60 minutes and sustain it for the entire show."

The focus will apparently be on a fictional group of people called in as a last resort who are "absolutely ruthless" in their use of force.
