Writers Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman are joining forces with Underworld director Ken Wiseman to bring a new take on Sleepy Hollow to our television screens.

They will serve as executive producers for a new project called Sleepy Hollow.

Orci and Kurtzman will script the project with co-writer Phillip Iscove (who came up the idea), and Wiseman will direct the pilot.

The show will be a modern-day re-imaging of the classic Washington Irving legend, and will feature Ichabod Crane teaming up with a female local sheriff to solve all manner of mysteries in their town.

The series will be part of the development cycle for the 2013-14 season and while a network isn’t attached to it yet, you can bet it will get interest based on the big names involved.
