’30 Days of Night’ Director David Slade To Helm First Two Episodes Of ‘Powers’

Briefly: Sony dedicated an exorbitant amount of time to the announcement of Powers at their E3 Press Conference, and the series has just found its first director.

30 Days of Night, and more recently Breaking Bad and Hannibal director David Slade has signed on to helm the first two episodes of the anticipated series. Those scripts come from The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest writer Charlie Huston.

Deadline states that “Powers is set in a world full of people with superhuman abilities and where all of those powers are just another catalyst for mayhem and murder. It follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, who are assigned to protect humans like us and investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities, referred to as Powers who glide through the sky on lightning bolts and fire and who clash above cities in epic battle, oblivious to the mortals below.”

I’m not overly familiar with the series myself, but it’s got a pretty stellar creative team coming together, so I’m definitely looking forward to checking it out.
