[1] It feels like just about every network on TV has a Western project in the works by this point, but one of the most recently announced ones also sounds like it could be one of the most promising. Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman are slated to team up for a Western drama about Doc Holliday, the legendary gambler and gunslinger known for his friendship with Wyatt Earp and his involvement in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The project is an adaptation of Mary Doria Russell's acclaimed novel Doc, which was released earlier this year. More details after the jump. Adam Cooper and Bill Collage (Accepted) will write the script, as well as executive produce with Goldsman and his producing partner Kerry Foster (who happens to be married to Cooper). Howard is lined up to direct the pilot, with father Rance Howard and Rance's wife nm0974145 autoJudy Howard[/link] co-producing.
