Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress" Turns Into A Television Series

Dan Brown's techno-thriller novel "Digital Fortress" about government surveillance of electronically stored data on the private lives of citizens and the possible civil liberties and ethical implications using that kind of technology is being turned into a television series and it just landed a put pilot commitment from ABC.  



According to Deadline, the story is "a sexy cat-and-mouse game between a Snowden-esque character that is threatening to release all of the government's secrets to the highest bidder and our female cryptographer and her elite team who are tasked to stop him. Teeming with double-crosses in matters of both national security and the heart, ultimately Digital Fortress begs the very real question, who guards the guards?"

Dan Brown is an American author of thriller fiction, best known for the 2003 bestselling novel "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons".

It has to be mentioned that a put pilot is a pilot that the network agrees to air unless they want to face a significant financial penalty. This is actually a guarantee that the series will be selected.
