WGN America has teamed up with the Weinstein company to produce a Ten Commandments TV series with each episode being handled by a different A-list director.
The 10-part series will be produced by Bruce Cohen, with five directors already attached to the project: Gus Van Sant, Lee Daniels, Jim Sheridan, Wes Craven and Michael Cera.
“We are thrilled and honored to have filmmakers of this caliber as a part of this ambitious project, and thank Bruce Cohen and The Weinstein Co. for bringing this diverse group of directors together,” said WGN America president Matt Cherniss.
“Each of these directors is acclaimed for their own unique brand of style and genre, so it’s clear that we can expect ten wildly different episodes from this series,” added TWC co-chairman, Bob Weinstein.
