He's a pretty smart guy and I think he might be on to something with the concept of the microseries. Well, I think Devlin's looking for some new angles and some untried paths.

Devlin's new studio is getting *very* tight with TNT, with his new show <i>Leverage</i> also coming to TNT this fall. Apparently, Devlin is doing a lot of very interesting things as a startup studio. <a href="http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com/2007/08/pre-production-day-1.html" rel="nofollow">John Rogers</a> (head writer/EP of <i>Leverage</i>) had this to say about the new studio:<br><br><i>This is also a very 21st Century project in that the studio is ... a guy. Dean Devlin, occasional business partner and good friend. The only suits are network suits, and the few I've met are pretty damn sharp. Otherwise it's an experiment in solo producing without all the overhead gunk. Dean's pretty aggressive in pursuing new tech -- he'll occasionally buy new video cameras just to test them past the specs the manufacturers use -- and new business models. We'll see what we wind up with using some elements of the New Model of production.</i> Interesting.
