Superhero gurus Bryan Fuller and Bryan Singer team up to create "Sellevision" for NBC.


Bryan Fuller, the former writer of the hit TV show "Heroes," will be teaming up with "X-Men" director Bryan Singer to take on something that also has superpowers: television. The duo will partner to adapt the book "Sellevision," by memoirist Augusten Burroughs, into a comedy-drama series for NBC.

"Sellevision" is about the inner workings of a fictional home-shopping network and features themes of greed and consumerism. The book was originally going to be adapted into a movie by former Home Shopping Network CEO Mark Bozek.

When the plan was scrapped, the series was re-imagined as an hour-long comedy-drama with Universal Media Studios producing the project. Fuller, Singer, Bozek and Russell Nuce will serve as executive producers.

"I love the world of home shopping -- it's such a rich world," Fuller said to Variety. "There are those great metaphors of consumerism, buying happiness, all of that chasing material thing."

Fuller is the creator of television shows such as "Pushing Daisies," "Dead Like Me," and "Wonderfalls."
