As of today, production on Christopher Nolan's final installment in his Batman trilogy has begun, so the immediate question that comes up is, "What am I going to do until then?" Well, as soon as this fall rolls around, you'll be able to bide your time with the first true solo effort from Jonathan Nolan, Chris' longtime collaborator and brother. While his brother was busy fine-tuning the script for The Dark Knight Rises, Jonathan was working with J.J. Abrams on a television pilot for this coming season. It's the only new show I'm really excited for that's coming this fall and not mid-season, and you can see why below. It stars Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson as two men who team up to prevent violent crimes using whatever means necessary. I really enjoy these sorts of shows that take a regular procedural story and turn it on its ear in an intriguing and inventive way. Fringe has been doing that wonderfully these past three years, Awake also looks to be headed in that direction, and Person of Interest looks like the most realistic of them all. Take a look below.

Abrams Shops Off 3 Pilots for 2011!
Lost wrapped up it's six year run last May, Fringe's third season begins tonight, and Abrams' most casual series to date Undercovers debuted last night, but Abrams certainly isn't finished with television by a long shot. Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson of Lost fame are teaming up with the most successful producer in expert television again for Odd Jobs, a drama about two former Special Op agents who... do something. Not much is known about the show yet, but it's a safe bet that we'll be seeing John Locke and Ben Linus onscreen together again soon, as the pilot has just been sold to NBC.
The other two shows that J.J. has shopped off already are Alkatraz, the previously reported FOX drama set in the titular prison, and a new crime series from Chris Nolan's brother Jonah, who helped scribe The Dark Knight, called Person of Interest. Jonah Nolan's series is the first Abrams has sold to CBS. Everything's being kept tight under wraps, but Abrams certainly has his hands full for the next year, backing three new series as well as his own directorial effort, Super 8.
