The pilot for CBS' "Person of Interest" already had "Dark Knight" co-writer Jonathan Nolan and "Lost" and "Fringe" Executive Producer J. J. Abrams involved. Now former "Lost" star Michael Emerson is joining the pilot with David Semel directing. Semel has directed the pilots for "Heroes", "The Cleaner" and "No Ordinary Family".

Deadline had this to say about the show:

"The project, from Warner Bros. TV and Abrams' Bad Robot, is a crime drama centered on an ex-CIA agent, presumed dead, who teams up with a mysterious billionaire (Emerson) to prevent violent crimes in New York City."

It will be cool to see what these three people of interest (see what i did there) can come up with, but so far the outline sounds legit and this could work very well.

Actually even if the outline was shitty and unoriginal, these four guys together seems like a package that can shake up everything. J. Nolan, Abrams, Emerson equals win and Semel was good at directing on Heroes.
