As you know this time of year lots of TV development news with shows being cancelled, renewed, and placed in developmemnt.

NBC picked up Daniel Cerone and David S. Goyer's CONSTANTINE. The story centers on  a mysterious  con man who uses his supernatural abilities as a detective tasked with battling  dark and evil forces. And if that wasn't enough for Goyer, he also has signed a first-look deal with Universal TV. Don't forget Goyer is also the creator, executive produce, and director of Starz’s DA VINCI'S DEMONS. Recently he wrote THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012), MAN OF STEEL (2013), and he's working on BATMAN V. SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.  It's hard to imagine another screenwriter (really he's an executive now more than anything) in Hollywood as busy right now as Mr. Goyer. (Source)

NBC also grabbed THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA written by Jeff Rake based on a Spanish series and directed by McG. 

According to Deadline.com, Go USA has acquired James Franco's adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel CHILD OF GOD including exclusive North American rights. Franco co-wrote the script with Vince Jolivette. (Source)
