Christian Slater is in negotiations to star in ABC’s new series “The Forgotten.”
“Forgotten,” from WBTV and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, is a mystery drama revolving around a group of amateur detectives led by a former cop (Slater) whose 11-year-old daughter was kidnapped three years before.
The project is recasting after being picked up to series in May to air at 10 p.m. Tuesdays.
Slater would replace British actor Rupert Penry-Jones, who played the lead in the pilot. Another role, that of a female member of the sleuth squad, also is being recast.
“Forgotten,” set to launch Sept. 22, would mark Slater’s second turn as a TV leading man after last year’s short-lived NBC spy drama “My Own Worst Enemy,” for which he garnered good reviews.

NOTES ON THE FORGOTTEN:
The initial presentation for the show was not overly exciting to me- I have a feeling the re-casting is a good thing.
Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think! I liked Christian in My Own Worst Enemy but the story just never grabbed me. Maybe The Forgotten can turn around from the somewhat dreary trailer with some inspired casting.
