AMC Orders 2 New Pilots
Nov 27, 2012, 5:32 PM
AMC has ordered pilots for scripted dramas “Halt & Catch Fire” and “Turn.” Production on both is scheduled for 2013. Set in the early 1980s, “Halt & Catch Fire” dramatizes the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary whose innovations directly confront the corporate powers of the time. Based on the book “Washington’s Spies,” “Turn” is set in the summer of 1778 and tells the story of a New York farmer, Abe Woodhull, who bands together with friends to form The Culper Ring, an unlikely group of spies who turn the tide in America’s fight for independence.
