Details Emerge As ER Veterans Wyle And Spielberg Reunite For TNT’s Alien-Invasion Pilot!!

I am – Hercules!!




Noah Wyle, who starred on Steven Spielberg’s “ER,” will now star in Steven Spielberg’s untitled alien-invasion pilot for TNT.

The Hollywood Reporter has this, plus news that the pilot has a “Battlestar Galactica”-esque premise:

The project, written by Robert Rodat from an idea he conceived with Spielberg, is set shortly after aliens have wiped out most of the human population. Wyle will play the leader of a ragtag group of soldiers and civilians who struggle against the occupying alien force.

The wartime theme makes sense, since Spielberg and Rodat previously collaborated on “Saving Private Ryan.”
