According to TV Line, producer J.J. Abrams has hired Karl Urban - who previously worked with the busy director/producer on 2009's Star Trek - to star in his latest television pilot, Human. The Fox drama, penned by J.H. Wyman (Fringe), is a futuristic thriller that "is being billed as an action-packed buddy cop show set in the near future, when all LAPD officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids." Urban, who will reprise his role as Bones McCoy in this summer's Star Trek Into Darkness, will play 'John Kennex', "a respected police officer who has shut down emotionally after a tragic mission left him critically injured. He is paired with Dorian (Common Law‘s Michael Ealy), an android detective who, ironically, has a better grasp of humanity than he does." Minka Kelly, Lili Taylor, Michael Irby and Mackenzie Crook also star.

Well, this premise sounds interesting, so I hope it won't suck like many series produced by JJ did.

I agree with scurvydog. Urban rocked that film and deserves another outing. I also think he should replace christian bale as batman if and when they do a justice league film.
