We're going to see more television series and movies such as the recently premiered LEVERAGE and last year's MICHAEL CLAYTON, because things have gotten out of hand. The amount of corruption in business, politics, and government has become too overt and too unbearable. We're finally uncovering and confronting the concealed corruption that has been plaguing us for decades.

TNT has just launched the "thrilling, action-packed drama series LEVERAGE, starring Oscar® winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People, Nero Wolfe) and executive-produced by Dean Devlin (Independence Day, TNT’s The Librarian) and John Rogers (Cosby). The series follows a team of thieves, hackers and grifters who act as modern-day Robin Hoods, taking revenge against those who use power and wealth to victimize others. TNT has ordered 13 episodes of LEVERAGE, which comes to the network from Devlin’s Electric Entertainment. Devlin makes his directorial debut on the pilot, which was written by Rogers (Transformers) and Chris Downey (The King of Queens)." LEVERAGE premiered on Sunday, December 7, 2008

"In LEVERAGE, Hutton plays former insurance investigator Nate Ford, a once-loyal corporate employee who had recovered millions of dollars in stolen goods for his employer. But when that employer denied his son’s insurance claims and allowed the boy to die, he realized he could no longer work for such an entity." Nate Ford becomes a modern day Robin Hood. But make no mistake, LEVERAGE is not about redistribution of wealth, it's about redressing ill-gotten gain and corrupt wealth. There's a big difference. Whether you condone Nate Ford's motivation or not, this sort of subject matter is only going to get hotter given our economy.
