Fox Orders X-Men Pilot

Fox has ordered a pilot episode for a show based on the X-Men comics. The untitled project features two parents of mutant children who are forced to go on the run from a hostile government. It will tie more closely to the X-Men characters than Legion, which will feature mostly original characters. Matt Nix, Lauren Shuler Donner, Bryan Singer, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory are set to executive produce.
