The Mummy star Brendan Fraser is set to topline TNT’s drama pilot Legends. Developed by Howard Gordon, Jeffrey Nachmanoff and feature writer Mark Bomback from the novel by Robert Littell, the project follows Martin Odum (Fraser), a deep-cover operative who has an uncanny ability to transform himself into a different person for each job. Fox 21 produces the project, with Gordon, Nachmanoff, Alex Cary and Jonathan Levin executive producing. David Semel will direct the pilot. Fraser, who was courted for a couple of cable pilots this fall, is repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and CAA. This marks his series debut.

He needs to get back to dramas. That’s where he’s best.
I liked this idea when it was called ‘The Pretender.’
Ahhh….THAT’S was the name of that show! I was just here thinking, “Didn’t I watch this series sometime back in the nineties?” Thanks for the reminder.
Wow- His forehead is now enormous.
I love this idea simply because it is true that mr.fraser is best at dramas. This would be a great and interesting challange for him. I will definitely watch.
If this is a dramedy I will definitely watch it. Brendan Fraser is freaking hilarious.
Can we talk about Fox 21 cable and how the hell they’ve become a real studio? Who’s doing more and more high-profile stuff than they are right now. I don’t know if it’s Bert Salke or Dana Walden, but someone’s eating their cheerios.
Actually, that is closer to ‘Human Target’ And if they could get Jackie Earl Haley that would be AWSOME!!
