Bradley Cooper’s Limitless coming to the small screen near you as a 1 hour drama based on the Top Grossing Movie

The project to hail from Relativity TV, the television branch of ‘Limitless’ production company Relativity

 
Relativity Television has partnered with Georgeville Television and actor/producer Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook) for Limitless, a scripted TV series based on Relativity’s hit 2011 movie starring and executive produced by Cooper.
 

Cooper will executive produce the drama, with the film’s producers Leslie
Dixon and Scott Kroopf serving as co-executive producers. The
announcement will be made at the upcoming MIPCOM market in Cannes, where
Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh will gave a keynote speech Tuesday. “Limitless
is the perfect example of Relativity’s multiplatform approach to
creating quality content,” he said. Added Georgeville TV CEO Marc Rosen,
“The film has an organic natural extension into a compelling and
sophisticated one-hour drama that is both a thrill-ride and a social
commentary.”

The Limitless feature, which starred Cooper, Robert De Niro and
Abbie Cornish (that’s her on the left making out with Cooper in Rittenhouse Square), is a paranoia-fueled action thriller about an
unsuccessful writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret “smart
drug” that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect
version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces
that threaten his new life.  The film
opened at No. 1 at the domestic box office on its way to grossing more than $160 million worldwide and subsequently sold 2 million-plus home video units.
