CBS is putting John Leguizamo in the driver’s seat.
The Emmy winner has been tapped to star in Taxi-22, a single-camera comedy pilot based on a popular French Canadian series, our sister site Deadline reports.
As the title suggests, Leguizamo will play a New York City cab driver — and a “politically incorrect” one at that.
If this project sounds familiar to you, it’s because the late James Gandolfini had been trying to develop it for years, originally at HBO. At one time, the Sopranos actor was even loosely attached to star in it.
Taxi-22 will be executive-produced by Dennis Erdman,...

CBS kicked off its pilot pickup season today with a order to Taxi-22, a single-camera comedy that had been shepherded by the late James Gandolfini. CBS bought the project, with Gandolfini on board to executive produce, in early June, just two weeks before the Emmy-winning actor’s tragic death. Taxi-22, an adaptation of the hit French Canadian single-camera comedy, had been a passion project for Gandolfini, who first developed it at HBO where his Attaboy banner had a deal. The project went through three incarnations at the pay cable network with different writers and Gandolfini loosely attached to play the lead at one point. When the project, about a misanthropic and politically incorrect NYC cab driver in the vein of Archie Bunker, was sold to CBS in June, there was no writer attached, with Gandolfini executive producing alongside Dennis Erdman and Clark Peterson, the original series’ creator/star, top Canadian comedian Patrick Huard,...

Rome, June 21 (Reuters) - An autopsy on the body of James Gandolfini, star of the U.S. Emmy-winning series "The Sopranos," confirmed on Friday that he died of a heart attack, a hospital source said.

It's a word kicked around a lot in Hollywood, but those who worked with James Gandolfini, who died Wednesday at age 51, say The Sopranos star truly was an acting genius. "He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time," remembered the show's creator, David Chase. "A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes.

Breaking… Refresh for latest: Actor James Gandolfini died suddenly after a suspected heart attack while on holiday in Rome to attend the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily. He was 51. Gandolfini will be forever known for his portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano on the seminal HBO series The Sopranos, which eventually won him 3 Emmy Awards and a $1,000,000-an-episode paycheck. Overweight, balding, rough around the edges with a thick New Jersey accent, Gandolfini was the opposite of a marquee leading man, destined to be a character actor. Yet he proved through his masterful acting that he could make Tony Soprano sexy and smart, towering and powerful. Chris Albrecht who greenlighted the crime family saga at HBO in 1999 and approved Gandolfini in the role, just emailed Deadline: “Absolutely stunned. I got the word from Lorraine Bracco and just got off with Brad Grey who had just heard from David Chase. We had all become a family.

James Gandolfini has lined up his first series at HBO since the end of "The Sopranos."
Gandolfini will star in an adaptation of British drama "Criminal Justice," which HBO has ordered to pilot, Deadline reports. He'll play a defense attorney who trolls for clients in police precincts and appoints himself counsel for a young man (Rizwan Ahmed) accused of murder.
"Criminal Justice" ran for two five-episode seasons in the U.K. and won BAFTA Awards for best drama serial and best writing (by creator Peter Moffat). Each season told a separate story, with different characters, of one person's journey through the justice system. If the HBO version is picked up, the first season will follow the story of the original. Gandolfini would return for subsequent seasons, however.
Richard Price ("The Wire," "NYC 22") and Steven Zaillian ("Moneyball," "Schindler's List") are co-writing the script, and Zaillian will direct the pilot. They'll also be executive producers,...

James Gandolfini is developing a new project with HBO, and he'll be involved both behind and possibly in front of the camera.
"The Sopranos" star will executive produce a drama called "Big Dead Place," which has the rather novel setting of the McMurdo Station research outpost in Antarctica, Deadline reports. The show is based on a memoir by Nicholas Johnson about his time spent working for the U.S. Antarctic Program.
Gandolfini is also likely to star in the pilot, which will chronicle how the people stationed at McMurdo deal with being so far removed from the rest of civilization.
"Breaking Bad" writer-producer Peter Gould (who also wrote "Too Big to Fail" for HBO) will pen the pilot and executive produce with Gandolfini. Jimmy Miller ("Bad Teacher," "The Life and Times of Tim"), Nancy Sanders, Mark Armstrong and Brian Swibel will also serve as exec producers.

"The Sopranos" star James Gandolfini and HBO may be getting together again -- this time for a comedy series.
Gandolfini and his company, Attaboy Films, are developing an American version of "Taxi 0-22," a French-Canadian series about an opinionated Montreal cab driver. He's also considering starring in the show, which would be set in New York, according to several reports.
Dave Flebotte, a veteran comedy writer who's worked on "Desperate Housewives," "Will & Grace" and "The Bernie Mac Show," is writing a pilot script for HBO. He'll also executive produce with Gandolfini, Dennis Erdman, Nancy Sanders, Mark Armstrong, Clark Peterson and the Canadian show's creators, Patrick Huard (who also stars) and Francois Flamand.
Flebotte, incidentally, also co-wrote the 2002 "Sopranos" episode "Calling All Cars."
If the project goes forward, it would be Gandolfini's first TV role since "The Sopranos" ended in 2007. He's also developing a movie with HBO about Ernest Hemingway.
