J. J. Abrams Developing "Slightly Heightened Reality" Crime Drama for Television

As a follow-up to our post yesterday about new crime dramas under consideration by the television networks, TV|Line is reporting that J. J. Abrams -- who already has several projects in various stages of development, from concept to pilot -- is ready to pitch to the networks an hour-long crime drama set in a "slightly heightened reality" called Pulp.

The screenplay comes from Monica Breen and Alison Schapker, who previously worked with Abrams several of his other series, including Alias, Lost, and Fringe.
