Those involved with major Oscar contender 12 Years a Slave are heading to TV in a big way; we told you last week about how writer John Ridley was scripting a new drama for ABC about a California murder trial with class, race, and gender issues throughout, and now comes word from Deadline that Steve McQueen, the movies director, is teaming up with writer Matthew Michael Carnahan (World War Z), Russell Simmons, and Oscar winning producers Iain Canning & Emile Sherman (The Kings Speech) on an HBO drama about a young African-American male entering the world of NY high society and the secret past he is hiding. McQueen and Carnahan are writing the pilot, which McQueen will direct.
