CW picks up pilot from Gilmore Girls creator and a La Femme Nikita remake

by Brad Trechak, posted Jan 28th 2010 2:29PM

The CWThe CW has picked up two new pilots for the fall season. The first is an untitled family drama on a Wyoming horse farm that is being done by Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband. The second is yet another television remake of La Femme Nikita (which is based on a French movie that was made into an American movie).

The latter is going to be produced by McG and have a slight change in concept from the previous versions. In this one, Nikita goes rogue and a new assassin is trained to replace her. By "replace", there's a chance they mean "exterminate".

My guess is that the new version of La Femme Nikita is going for the name-brand recognition and will evolve into something different than its predecessors, like Battlestar Galactica. Of course, if female assassins aren't your thing, you could always watch the drama on the Wyoming farm.

Nikita (the Canadian/U.S. television series) is just based on the original film, not on the U.S. remake of the film.

Nice to see the Palladinos with a series in development, but I wish it was for one of the cable networks! I assumed that after their previous experience with the CW (left Gilmore Girls before the last season) that they would never return.

I thought HBO had picked up the Sherman-Palladino project.. surprised to see it going to CW (or are their 2 separate ones?)
