CBS has placed orders for four dramas and two comedies, including adaptations of the films “Rush Hour” and “Limitless.”
Other orders include the Marti Noxon medical drama “Code Black” and the Tad Quill comedy “Angel From Hell,” starring Jane Lynch and Maggie Lawson.
“Rush Hour,” based on the New Line Cinema feature film, stars Justin Hires and John Foo in the story of a stoic, by-the-book Hong Kong police officer who’s assigned to a case in Los Angeles, where he’s forced to work with a cocky African-American LAPD officer who has no interest in a partner.
Bill Lawrence and Blake McCormick are writing as well as executive producing with Arthur Sarkissian, Brett Ratner, Jeff Ingold and Jon Turteltaub, the latter of whom is also directing.
