What's cooking at AMC? It's the cable network's second annual pilot script showcase called "bake-off," which took place from Monday to Thursday this week at a hotel in Los Angeles. In it, six scripts identified by AMC brass as finalists for a pilot order faced off in a series of elaborate presentations, with the producing team for each project showing a promo reel and each creator pitching in detail the series beyond the pilot, including mapping out the first season. In the next couple of weeks, AMC executives will mull over the presentations and are expected to announce one or two winners from the bake-off, whose scripts will go to pilot. I
hear that the number of pilot pickups will depend on whether AMC lands the MRC-produced David Fincher-Kevin Spacey
drama project
House of Cards. AMC is one of several cable networks bidding on the project, with HBO and Starz also said to be in the running. If AMC lands
House of Cards, it is expected to pick up one pilot developed internally; if not, two of the six scripts showcased this week will probably get green light. This is the second year AMC is doing the bake-off. Among the projects competing in last year's event was
Hell on Wheels, which went to pilot and then to series.
