Summit developing 'Push' series

Summit Entertainment has announced that it is developing a TV series based around its recent film Push.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the programme will be an extension of the movie which focused on a group of people with various psychic abilities who band together to take down a corrupt government agency.

The small screen project furthers the relationship established in 2007 between Summit and E1. The latter licenses exclusive distribution rights to Summit-produced movies in the UK and Canada.

Screenwriter David Hayter, who penned Watchmen and two of the X-Men movies, will write the pilot and produce the series.

The original big screen version starred Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans.
