CW Greenlights Pilot!

The CW's update of "Melrose Place" has received an official pilot order, and Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim has come on board to direct it.

The CBS Par-produced "Melrose Place," an remake of the '90s series about a group of twentysomethings living in the trendy Melrose neighborhood of Los Angeles, was written by Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin ("Smallville"), who will serve as exec producers/showrunners. Endeavor-repped Guggenheim, who won an Oscar for "An Inconvenient Truth," will exec produce as well.

In an interesting "twist" ... Guggenheim is married to Elisabeth Shue, sister of Andrew Shue, who portrayed Billy Campbell on the original Melrose Place from 1992 until he departed in 1998.
