Push to become a television series

Remember the movie Push? Don't feel bad. Nobody else does either. However, that hasn't stopped Summit Entertainment from revamping the movie into a television series.David Hayter, the scriptwriter behind the Watchmen movie and two of the X-Men films, will be writing the pilot episode. The movie starred Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning and was about a group of super-powered individuals who banned together to fight a corrupt government. Kind of like X-Men. Or Heroes. Or Misfits of Science. Or any one of a hundred similar properties.
No network has been attached to the series yet. Hopefully it will get on Fox so it can be canceled within twelve episodes. Even worse, Fox might pair it on Friday nights with the U.S. version of Torchwood, guaranteeing the destruction of both series.
Admittedly, my curiosity is now somewhat piqued. I may go rent the movie. Anybody see it? How was it?
