Attention to CC: Philip Marlowe is headed to television.

From Deadline:

The project, from ABC Studios, where Marlowe is under an overall deal, is described as a smart, sexy and stylish update of Chandler’s character which follows the investigations of wisecracking, edgy and rugged private detective Philip Marlowe as he navigates the morally complicated world of today’s Los Angeles — where the bright California sun casts long and dangerous shadows…and where true love can be more difficult to find than justice.

My hopes are not particularly high. But, you know: it's worth keeping an eye on.
