EXCLUSIVE: In a rare TV directing gig, The Warrior helmer Gavin O’Connor has been tapped to direct FX’s Cold War period drama pilot The Americans. The project, created/executive produced by Joe Weisberg (Falling Skies) and executive produced by Justified showrunner Graham Yost, centers on two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington, DC in the early 1980s. Weisberg, a former CIA officer-turned-novelist-turned-TV writer, Yost and DreamWorks TV’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey are executive producing for Fox TV Studios and FX Prods. CAA-repped O’Connor’s latest feature, Warrior has been garnering accolades for co-star Nick Nolte, including an Oscar nomination.

Gavin is a great choice for this material..
he was robbed in the oscar race..
Warrior hands down is the best movie of the year, and because he’s not out there glad handing all of the academy suits they missed the obvious choice..
sincerely,
not his agent or manager
I have no clue why he didn’t get a nomination for Warrior or why it didn’t get about five other nominations it deserved. It’s easily better then most of the other best picture nominations.
I could not agree more with “not his agent or manager”. Gavin is an amazing talent and a class act! Anyone who gets to work with him is LUCKY!
Completely agree about “Warrior” being a great, great movie.
