LOS ANGELES - Executive producer John Wells confirms that Fox has turned down Intelligence, the CBC drama he was redeveloping as an American series with creator Chris Haddock (Da Vinci's Inquest).

"We developed it at Fox, they have passed on it and we're taking it to other places because it's a great script," said Wells, interviewed this week on the set of his NBC drama ER, which is heading into a 15th and final season this fall.

Wells added that he really likes working with Haddock, loves the script and thinks the project will get made. "We're actively trying to set it up elsewhere," he says.

The CBC version of Intelligence starred Ian Tracey as a conflicted, Vancouver-based crime boss. After two critically acclaimed but low-rated seasons, the public broadcaster cancelled the drama last March.
