AMC is developing a futuristic cop drama pilot called Ballistic City with Joseph Kosinski attached to direct and executive produce and Travis Beacham writing the script. The potential series is described as a mix between Chinatown and Blade Runner and centers on "a former cop who is thrust into the criminal underworld of a city housed in a generational spaceship destined for an unknown world." Beacham is onboard to write the pilot and executive produce alongside Kosinski, who has agreed to helm the pilot should AMC take a liking to the script.

There’s no word on how soon production might begin, and the first step is AMC actually ordering a pilot. From there, should the network pick Ballistic City up to series, the earliest we could see it would probably be early 2014.
