Syfy has ordered the pilot Proof from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan and TV veteran Marti Noxon.
The “Proof” pilot is written by Shyamalan and Noxon, who will both serve as executive producers, along with Ashwin Rajan from Shyamalan’s Blinding Edge shingle. Shyamalan also “intends to direct” the pilot.
Syfy says the pliot it focuses on the son of a billionaire tech genius who offers a large reward for proof of life after death following the death of his parents.
This would be Shylaman’s first foray into scripted TV, while the Sixth Sense and Lady in the Water mastermind previously worked with Syfy (or Sci Fi) on the 2004 hoax documentary The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan. He most recently finished production on the feature After Earth, starring Will Smith.
Noxon’s other TV credits include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Point Pleasant, Mad Men and, most recently, Glee.
