The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb to helm Limitless TV pilot

CBS has nabbed Marc Webb (director of The Amazing Spider-Man) to helm the pilot episode for Limitless. The director of the Limitless movie, Neil Burger, stepped down, and CBS took Webb for its upcoming 2015/16 TV series.

The Limitless film starred Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro. Cooper played a struggling writer that took a mysterious pill, enabling him to access 100 percent of his brain's abilities, turning him into a financial wizard, but also putting him in a new world with lots of dangers. The TV series will be a sequel to the movie, but with new characters.

From Deadline:

"Written/executive produced by Craig Sweeny, Limitless follow Brian Sinclair [a new character to the movie's existing universe], as he discovers the power of the mysterious drug NZT and is coerced into using his newfound drug-enhanced abilities to solve weekly cases for the FBI."

So it's going to be a police procedural format? Meh… I loved the movie, but I'm not too keen on TV series based off of movies. I'll give it a shot, but as of now I'm not too optimistic.
