Raise a glass of cranberry juice in celebration; The Hollywood Reporter reports that The Departed screenwriter William Monahan is developing a new show for Starz. Originally conceived as a film, Crime is set in the criminal underworld of sixties England. (Will Austin Powers be there? Probably not.) The show was given a script commitment. British rats are already getting ready to audition to play the show’s lead metaphor.
