George Clooney cop drama gets go-ahead
Delta Blues, executive produced by George Clooney, will soon bust onto television screens.
The crime-themed drama that focuses on a Memphis cop was given the green light by cable television network TNT.
Delta Blues' main character moonlights as an Elvis Presley impersonator who lives with his mother. The network has aired successful cop shows The Closer, Saving Grace and Dark Blue.
Whether or not Clooney actually appears as the main character in Delta Blues remains to be seen. The actor has been lighting up the big screen, meanwhile, with a slew of new movies including Up In The Air.
Delta Blues is the result of a 2008 collaboration between Clooney and Grant Heslov's Smokehouse Pictures and Warner Horizon. Smokehouse has since moved over to Sony.
