Rod Lurie's 2004 pilot Capital City is getting a second chance at the CW. The network has closed a deal with Touchstone TV to redevelop the project, which originally was developed for ABC. Lurie is writing and executive producing through his Touchstone TV-based Battle Plan Prods. He also is attached to direct if the project is picked up to pilot. DreamWorks TV, which co-produced the ABC pilot with Touchstone TV, is expected to come on board to co-produce the revamped project for the CW. Capital is an ensemble drama that follows a young woman's journey through the congressional landscape. Leslie Bibb starred in the original two-hour pilot, whose star-studded cast included Peter Fonda, David Paymer, Tom Berenger and Mary Steenburgen.
