AMC production on Rubicon, its newest original drama series, began on Monday, March 29 in New York City. The show is a conspiracy thriller starring James Badge Dale (who earlier this year headlined HBO’s The Pacific) as an analyst at a New York City-based federal intelligence agency who is thrown into a story where nothing is as it appears to be. Henry Bromell (Homicide, Chicago Hope, Brotherhood) has signed on as showrunner. The one-hour, 13-episode weekly series is produced by Warner Horizon Television and premieres this summer. (Click here to watch a sneak preview of Rubicon.)
"Rubicon is an incredible story about trust and power born out of the desire to find a way to capture the intensity and mystery of the best conspiracy thrillers in a series. It is a show that appeals to everyone who has some skepticism about the relationship between big business and our government, which we think is pretty much everybody,” said Joel Stillerman, SVP of original programming, production and digital content for AMC. “Our stellar cast and creative team allow us to continue to present premium television on basic cable."
The series cast includes James Badge Dale (The Pacific, The Departed), Oscar®-nominated actress Miranda Richardson (Sleepy Hollow), Dallas Roberts (Walk the Line, Flicka, The L Word), Jessica Collins (The Nine, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Christopher Evan Welch (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), Lauren Hodges (Law & Order), and Arliss Howard (Full Metal Jacket, Natural Born Killers, The Sandlot).
AMC’s Stillerman along with Susie Fitzgerald, senior vice president of scripted development and current programming and Jeremy Elice, vice president of original programming, will oversee the development and production of the new drama.
Rubicon’s pilot was produced in New York City and was directed by acclaimed film and television helmer Allen Coulter (The Sopranos, Hollywoodland, Damages, Nurse Jackie) and Kerry Orent (Michael Clayton, Rescue Me) is the producer.
Greenlit to a full series order in June 2009, Rubicon marks AMC’s third original series. In summer 2007, AMC debuted its first original drama Mad Men, which went on to receive unprecedented critical acclaim and garner history-making awards recognition, including back-to-back Emmy and the only series to ever win the Golden Globe, three times in a row, for best drama series on television. The series returns for a fourth season this summer. In January 2008, AMC premiered its second original series, Breaking Bad, which landed on countless critics' top ten lists and also won back-to-back Emmy Awards for outstanding lead actor for Bryan Cranston’s portrayal of lead character Walter White. The series returned for its third season on March 21.

It's worrisome that Wilson also said:
“All that progressives ask or desire is permission—in an
era when development, evolution, is a scientific word
—to interpret the Constitution according to the Darwinian
principle; all they ask is recognition of the fact that a
nation is a living thing and not a machine.”
- Woodrow Wilson
Did you want the ILK pinged?
CC keeps the list now.
AMC is pulling out all the the conspiracy stops and jfk,charlie wilson war,mike clayton, condor. something is up
Three Days of the Condor is one of the finest espionage/conspiracy films ever made.
Not bad. I hope it doesn’t get political.
That quote attributed to Woodrow Wilson is not factual.
There is no evidence he ever said it (unless you have the attribution) and he was in love with the Fed Reserve and all the ideals of the elite controlling the lives of the ‘Little People’.
Could be another 24 a slow 24 if you get my driff but I like it just don’t play with my head.
But than many of us has a firm background and will be able to discern a spoof...
I agree what you said about WW but to him that statement could have beem possitive.
I have noticed when Obama is pleased with something even though we can see it is not working or true to the PO it is also true and good for he wants good to fail like Rush wants wrong to fail!
I happened to watch the preview of Rubicon a few weeks back entirely by accident. It definitely caught my attention and held it.
I love the term “Crossing the Rubicon” and what it means anyway.
The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
