'Burn Notice' Movie Prequel Greenlit

USA has given a formal green light to the "Burn Notice" movie prequel starring Bruce Campbell, which will be directed by "Burn Notice" star Jeffrey Donovan. The two will also executive produce with the show's creator Matt Nix, who wrote the movie, and the series exec producer Mikkel Bondesen.

The untitled two-hour film, which was announced at this year's Comic-Con, will begin shooting in January on location in Bogota, Colombia, for a premiere in Spring 2011. "Burn Notice" has wrapped production on Season 4, and filming on Season 5 is slated to begin shortly after the movie finishes shooting. The idea to do a Campbell-centered "Burn Notice" movie offshoot originated a year and a half ago when Campbell made a successful Comic-Con debut.
