CBS has given the go-ahead for a pilot script for a proposed RONIN TV series. The pilot will be written by Rick Ramage, a producer whose most recent project, HAUNTED, didn't last too long at UPN. The TV RONIN will differ from the John Frankenheimer directed 1998 movie in that it will have stand-alone episodes, feature a CIA agent as the primary character, and have more of a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE feel to the stories.
If CBS likes the script they'll commission a pilot, and if they like that, go ahead with the series. The earlist the eyeball network could have its RONIN show ready for broadcast is the fall of 2004.
