Film: M.A.N.T.I.S.
A brilliant pilot for a series I didn't get to do. Fox was a new network, so they were completely unprepared for the success of this pilot. They didn't want to take a chance on a series with all black central characters. So they re-tooled it with more white actors. Something I will never understand is the fear that ruins good projects.
A brilliant, wheelchair-bound scientist invents a form of exo-skeleton: the Mechanically Augmented Neuro Transmitter System (M.A.N.T.I.S.) that gives him the ability to fight the crime wave that is engulfing his city.
