Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield) is set to topline Fox‘s drama pilot Boomerang, from John Wells Prods. and Warner Bros TV. Patrick Heusinger also has landed a lead in the project written by Davey Holmes, which is about the Hamiltons, a family who serve as assassins for the federal govern
ment. It centers on Sam Hamilton (Stahl-David), an assassin who left Guatemala one step ahead of disgruntled government agents, broke and out of options. He is forced to return to his family — also paid assassins for the CIA — but is considered a loose cannon by his father Bill and older brother Carl (Heusinger). Carl is an overly sensitive ex-jock resentful of — but genuinely fond of — his flashier, brainier brother, Sam. Felicity Huffman plays the mother. Stahl-David, repped ICM Partners and Management 360, did an arc on CBS’ Person of Interest, also produced by Warner Bros. Heusinger is with Gersh and The Group.

This could be a cool single camera comedy if his parents were UNPAID assasins for the CIA. PS Fox’s drama department doesn’t have a single good script this year. Nice job guys!
From everything I’ve heard – it actually is a humorous show. But good job commenting without knowing this, “Interested Observer”!
How many pilots are there? I feel like there are 70 pilots now. How many new shows will there be next year? 40? Apart from those from big networks, where they will choose only few – there are those on cable channels that will go straight on air.
How can we keep up with all those new shows? There is too much of them. I hope that at lest few of them will be interesting. I can only imagine how much money they will throw in garbage. So many pilots will be thrown away and we will never even see them.
A family of assassins? Seriously? It has to be a comedy. Talk about stretching credulity. Sounds like Fox has another MOB DOCTOR on their hands.
It IS a comedy. Or, a drama with humor. Best script I’ve read this pilot season. FYI
Sounds like a fun show with some great talent! I’m not sure how credible Heusinger is as an ex-jock, though–he looks like he could still throw a football really really well.
