Americans love British TV shows and ABC is taking notice. It is reported that they will develop their own version of the crime drama that won awards, Wire in Blood. It follows the lives of a police detective Elizabeth Chase and her newly hired clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Hill. Together they solve crimes before they happen again based on the criminals behavior. Here is what ABC had to say about the project.
Bringing the iconic character Tony Hill to American audiences has been a passion of ours for a number of years, We are thrilled to be partnering with the Endemol Studios team on this exciting endeavor.
It impresses me that it has taken them this long to announce the plans. Especially since they have had a passion for this idea for a while now. It will be interesting to see how they develop it and who they pick to play the star roles.

Yet another gritty British detective drama is scoring a remake by a U.S. broadcast network, this time it's ABC developing a series adaptation of the psychological thriller "Wire in the Blood" based on Val McDermid's novels and ITV's well-regarded TV show which ran from 2002-2008.
Robson Green starred in the original as Dr. Tony Hill, an unconventional and eccentric clinical psychologist with a talent for catching serial killers and empathising with both victim and killer. He works with the police in the fictional West Yorkshire town of Bradfield to help solve cases.
The U.S. version shifts the action to New York City where someone has been killing women and a detective named Elizabeth Chase brings this new version of Tony Hill in to help. Author/TV writer A.M. Homes (The L Word") will pen the script for the remake which ABC Studios, Endemol Studios and Mandeville Films will produce.

Elizabeth Olsen distanced herself from her famous sisters at high school by changing her name.
The actress admits she felt under pressure because of the success of her twin siblings, Mary-Kate and Ashley, who found fame as child stars before launching their own fashion business.
Olsen decided to hold off her acting career because of her sisters' fame, and she even changed her name at school to avoid the inevitable comparison to her siblings.
She tells the Sydney Morning Herald, "In high school, I thought I'd go by the name Elizabeth Chase, which is my middle name. I knew I was always going to be introduced as 'the sister of' and I have no control over it, and that's why I kind of held off trying to work, because growing up I really compensated by going to so many acting conservatories and being the one that rehearsed the most."
Olsen concedes she will always be associated with her famous family, but she is happy to be carving out a career on her own, adding, "Right now it's just a fact of my life. But I always knew that if the work stood on its own, we were ultimately going to be seen as one of those families where there are multiple people who are in the public eye."...
