What happens when you take an eager network, a respected TV creator and America's most notorious prison? 'Alcatraz' happens.

Earlier this month we reported on the project from J.J. Abrams and Elizabeth Sarnoff, an executive producer on 'Lost,' but now it's found a home on Fox. According to Variety, the network has given the project a pilot commitment.

Not much information has been released about the project besides a logline The Live Feed reports as: "A show about mysteries, secrets and the most infamous prison of all time: Alcatraz."

If we've learned one thing the past few years it's that Abrams knows how to handle sweeping mysteries.

Sarnoff, Abrams and Bryan Burk will executive produce the pilot and Warner Bros. TV will be the studio home to the project. Both of Abrams' current TV projects, 'Undercovers' and 'Fringe,' started out as spec scripts.
