Every now and then we like to take the lack of specificity in the Nolan Fans title and shower Jonah Nolan, brother of Christopher Nolan, with a little love too. For the past week or so I have been tracking the development of Jonah’s Person of Interest television pilot. Last I reported, the pilot was set to be made by CBS, produced by JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot production company, written by Jonah Nolan, and starring Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson. Since then CBS has picked up the show to series and announced that it will be debuting this fall. It will be pushing veteran CSI out its marquee time-slot of 10 years; Thursdays 9:00 at PM. This goes to show you the confidence CBS has in the show, with many claiming that the network is using it has its front-runner for its new fall line-up. We’ve also learned that the show will feature Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson (Benjamin Button, The Karate Kid), Kevin Chapman (Mystic River, Unstoppable) and Jermaine Crawford of The Wire. Check out the trailer, press release, and photos below.
