Fox premieres the pilot movie of M.A.N.T.I.S., an urban superhero series created by Sam Hamm (screenwriter of Tim Burton’s Batman) and future Hercules/Xena creators Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi. Carl Lumbly, Gina Torres (Cleopatra 2525, Firefly), Bobby Hosea, and Obba Babatunde star in the feature-length premiere. A weekly series will follow in the fall, though only Lumbly – the series lead – will continue in his role.
