FX has greenlit the pilot for The Shield executive producer Kurt Sutter's biker gang drama Forever Sam Crow.
reports:
"Forever Sam Crow" refers to the nickname of the group at the center of the project: The Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original (Samcro). Project was the brainchild of John Linson, who knows several motorcycle club members in Northern California.
To research the script, Sutter also spent several days with members of the Hell's Angels in Oakland.
"These are regular guys," Sutter said. "But I didn't doubt for one second that they couldn't slit my throat if need be."
Set in fictional Charming, Calif., "Forever Sam Crow" revolves around 33-year-old Jackson "Jax" Teller, the vice president of Samcro and son of the late club founder. According to Sutter, the character is at a crossroads in life and figuring out his place in both his blood family and his brotherhood family.
Sutter wrote the pilot script. Currently there is no attached director or actors.
