Tradecraft: Syfy Buys Sci-Spy Pi(lot)

Deadline reports that cable network Syfy has bought an action drama pilot from Covert Affairs writer Brett Conrad that's sci-fi with a spy twist--or possibly spy with a sci-fi twist. According to the trade blog, The Dover Agenda (nice Ludlumesque title there!) follows "a young man who is recruited by a future version of himself to work for a secret branch of Military Intelligence specializing in parapsychology and future tech." Sounds like a pretty cool premise to me. It's currently being rewritten to fit Syfy's 90-minute pilot formula.
