I am – Hercules!!Charles Eglee, the “Murder One,” “Dark Angel” and “The Shield” writer-producer who left AMC’s “The Walking Dead” after its extraordinarily successful first season, is in talks with FX and Sony to join their “Powers” project based on the graphic novel series created by Brian Bendis, according to Joe Adalian over at Vulture.
“West Wing” vet and “Journeyman” creator Kevin Falls has been involved in the “Powers” project for more than a year.
The comic books are about cops dealing with superpower-involved criminal activity. Though a Deadline Hollywood story suggested Eglee had been fired from “Walking Dead,” producers Gale Anne Hurd and Robert Kirkman both say Eglee simply decided to move on. Frank Darabont remains the “Walking Dead” showrunner.
