FX Will Broadcast The Revolution With AR2

November 19th, 2008 | 0 Comments

FX is developing AR2, a drama from Prison Break creator/executive producer Paul Scheuring and The West Wing director/executive producer Thomas Schlamme about a group of Midwestern youths who spark a second American Revolution. Scheuring calls the project Les Miserables’ in modern America. It is set in Michigan, home of the top U.S. automakers, where “corporations undermine the common man and the government is not interested in helping (the common man),” Scheuring said. Scheuring, who had been tinkering with the idea for a while, took it to Schlamme, an American history buff. “It is an analysis of what is a patriot,” Schlamme said of the project.

AR2 will explore how the revolting college students – as well as the military and the law enforcement officers who oppose them – perceive patriotism. “It looks into what happens on both sides of the conflict and how that affects the personal lives of all involved,” Scheuring said. AR2 carries a different message than Schlamme’s previously politically themed drama, NBC’s The West Wing. “West Wing in some ways was wish fulfillment, and it looks like to a degree it has become a reality,” Schlamme said, referring to the election of Barack Obama. “This one is a cautionary tale, that this is a journey we’re on and we have to constantly be aware so it doesn’t happen.”
