Today Deadline brought us the news that Rob Thomas, creator of beloved cult TV shows Veronica Mars and Party Down, has sold Fox a script for an adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, retold as a modern-day legal procedural. I'll give you a few seconds to reread that sentence as many times as it takes for all those highly incongruous details to sink in. The contemporary take is a primetime soap about a brilliant lawyer running a legal exoneration program who fights to evade the consequences of his own unjust conviction many years before.
