TORONTO — A pilot for the TV adaptation of the 2002 Tom Cruise movie Minority Report will be made in Toronto.
In the movie, directed by Steven Spielberg and set in Washington, D.C. in 2054, a special police unit hunted down and arrested killers before they committed their crimes. Cruise played an officer accused of a future murder.
The proposed Minority Report TV series — which has the working title Templeton — picks up a decade after the movie ended. The “Pre-crime” unit has disbanded and one of its members is struggling to live a normal life while having visions of the future. He partners with a female detective who’s haunted by her past.

The pilot episode, written by Max Borenstein (Godzilla) will be directed by Mark Mylod (Game of Thrones, Once Upon a Time). Cameras are set to roll March 7 to 19.
If picked up by Fox, the series could debut this fall.
Minority Report, which earned nearly $360 million at the box office worldwide, starred Cruise, Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton.
Toronto is also playing host this year to production of NBC’s Heroes Reborn.
