The Western drama’s new pilot will be written and directed by writer/director/playwright David Mamet. It’ll be produced by CBS TV Studios. Mamet is executive producing the project with agent/producer Elliott Webb. Mamet previously created military drama The Unit, which ran for four seasons on CBS.
The original Have Gun – Will Travel stars Richard Boone as Paladin, a crack shot and gentleman gunfighter who prefers to settle problems without violence if possible.
This marks the second reboot that CBS has put into development in recent months. A revamp of The Brady Bunch is also in the works with Vince Vaughn as one of the producers. The network developed a remake of 1958 Western drama The Rifleman last year but the project didn’t make it to the pilot stage.
