Former “Heroes” star Milo Ventimiglia is looking to get back into the superhero game on television.
The actor is attached to star and executive-produce “Rest”, a project based on a 2008 comic book series he co-created.
“Rest” follows John Barret, a twentysomething guy who becomes addicted to a drug that eliminates the need for sleep. John subsequently works all of the time, which leads to both positive and negative repercussions.
The TV adaptation has already received a script commitment with producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. The pilot episode would be produced for NBC.
I give this less than 13 weeks
I’ll keep a positive attitude until I see the first episode.
