        Simon Pegg is headed to an era far, far away: 1940s Los Angeles, by way of TNT.
        The Star Trek and Mission: Impossible actor is in negotiations to play a top-secret role in Frank Darabont’s TNT period drama pilot L.A. Noir, TVLine has learned exclusively.
        Details on Pegg’s character are being kept under wraps, but an insider confirms that the British multi-hyphenate would appear as a guest star in the pilot.
        Described as a fast-paced period thriller (based on the acclaimed novel by the same name), the project centers on the 1940s/50s-era epic battle between determined Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker (played by Justified‘s Neal McDonough) and boxer-turned-mobster Mickey Cohen.
        The Walking Dead‘s Jon Bernthal and Heroes‘ Milo Ventimiglia also star.
        Darabont, in his first post-Walking Dead gig, is an executive producer on L.A. Noir and will write and direct the pilot.
        曾主演英国卖座电影《僵尸肖恩》并借助《碟中谍4》名扬全球的西蒙·佩吉(Simon Pegg)也许会在这个新剧开发季里也和美国电视界来点互动，他正在商谈加盟《肖申克的救赎》导演弗兰克·德拉邦特(Frank Darabont)筹备的TNT新剧《洛城黑帮》首播集客串事宜。
        剧集改编在约翰·布汀(John Buntin)的同名小说基础上，描写了40至50年代在洛杉矶警察局长William Parker和拳击手改行的黑老大Mickey Cohen之间的斗争。演出阵容由刚刚在《行尸走肉》中被杀死的"Shane"乔·博恩瑟(Jon Bernthal)领衔，他将饰演一个前海军陆战队员退役后任职洛杉矶警察局。他发现正身处一个警察腐败非常猖狂的年代，而自己刚好在正邪两方交战的中心地带。剧集之前有曾经出演《英雄》的米洛·文堤米利亚(Milo Ventimiglia)加盟，而尼尔·麦克唐纳(Neal McDonough)也已经确定出演男主角之一的William Parker一角。
        曾执导《肖申克的救赎》和《绿色奇迹》的Darabont将自编自导首播集，并且还会和迈克·德·鲁卡(Michael De Luca)、艾略特·韦伯(Elliot Webb)出任剧集的执行制片人，艾丽莎·菲尔普斯(Alissa Phillips)则会出演联合执行制片人。
