Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are getting comfortable at Fox. The co-creators of the network’s sci-fi drama Fringe, have set up another high-profile drama project at the network, this time with writer David Guggenheim. Exit Strategy has received a put pilot commitment from Fox. Created by Guggenheim, it is described as a high octane procedural set in the world of CIA agents who are sent in to “fix” operations gone bad. Guggenheim will co-executive produce, with Kurtzman, Orci and Heather Kadin executive producing. Kurtzman and Orci’s K.O. Paper Products is producing with 20th Century Fox TV. Kurtzman and Orci also recently received a series commitment from Fox for an adaptation of the graphic novel Locke & Key. The duo, who straddle both film and TV, co-created the new CBS series Hawaii Five-0. Guggenheim is an up-and-coming feature writer who penned the Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds starrer Safe House for Universal that is about to start shooting. He is with Madhouse Entertainment.

Wake me up when one of these Hollywood pajama-wearing bed-wetters dares to do something other than a coloring-book, Highlights for Children take on the CIA. At least “Get Smart” knew it was a joke.
Chip Tatum’s memoirs anyone?
Didn’t think so.
Nice

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE by any other name….
Safe House was an absolute bore. I bet it falls apart.
These morons should watch 16 Blocks and see the film they’re about to remake.
That story sounds lame. Do the words human target mean anything. Wake up and smell the phoney. I think this writing pair are THE EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES. They’re flavor of the month today, but a year from now…NEXT!
Ugh.
Yawn.
Will one of the team be a hot woman? Hmmm.
Wow, this has stale and pedestrian written all over it — what we need is an exit strategy from CIA super-spy stories. The past ten years has exposed them over and over as a complete and thorough FAIL in very basic areas, like you know, gathering human intelligence and even teaching people to speak Arabic.
Yet, shows and movies like this keep shoveling these stories down our throats — ah, the CIA SuperSpy trained in all forms of martial arts and speaking 11 languages and expert in disguise and advance telecommunications and blah blah blah — and yes, at least one of these people will be a hot chick.
I don’t mean to get all political, but honestly — the dramatic premise for stories like is a balloon that has been popped. We don’t believe it anymore. This agency can’t even teach people to speak functional Arabic. Spare us…
Let’s lay off the CIA. If George Bush listened to them nine eleven wouldn’t have happened. And Since then nothing has happened since. A couple of close calls that’s about it. The CIA is a thankless job. When you do your job know one gives you praise. But one one thing happens out of the thousands of things you prevented everyone is up your ass.
And ah the CIA does have a division for what you call Superspies. They know some martial arts and probably speak six languages instead of eleven.
