Starz announced today that it will develop a post civil-war drama series from award winning writer, director and producer Rod Lurie (The Contender, The Last Castle, Straw Dogs) in conjunction with Plan B Entertainment. Lurie and his long-time producing partner Marc Frydman will executive produce via their Battleplan Productions banner. Set in Texas in 1867, during the Comanche Wars, MONSTERS OF GOD follows two powerful ex-cavalry men, a war-hungry Colonel, and his seemingly by-the-book executive officer as they struggle to maintain order over the men in their command, faced with the challenges of an uncivilized territory and their own inner demons.
