ENTER MY MIND (TV Show)
PLOT:
Set in the not-so-distant future of Detroit in the year 2035, violent gangs have ruled the streets and slums, and criminal organizations are now accepted as upper class citizens. As new technology start getting more advanced then ever before, the U.S. government creates a private, underground facility called the "Lugh", a law-enforcement-type organization where special people with skilled pasts come in and put their minds inside a different person's body to go undercover as that person to take down whatever criminal or gang they are assigned to bring down. However, some of these people have dark secrets and cannot trust each other sometimes. Also, criminals have a hold on some of the most advanced technology that's out right now, and might one day find out about them. And if they do, they are going to take down every single member of the organization until there's no one left, and criminals can, once again, fully take over the future city of Detroit for good.
CONCEPT:
My idea for this series is to be a love-letter to the more thought-provoking science-fiction media like movies and books that depicts a fascinating but more realistic looking future.
In my head, the series would have the science, technology, symbolism, and philosophy of THE MATRIX, DOLLHOUSE (2009 TV show), 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, and GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995 Anime film), the action set-pieces of the TV show ALMOST HUMAN, the dark and gritty atmospheric future setting of BLADE RUNNER and ALMOST HUMAN (TV show), the storylines and themes of Phillip K. Dick novels, the satire of ROBOCOP, the violence of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, ROBOCOP, and DISTRICT 9, and the complex character-based backstories, personalities, conflict, dialogue, and comradery of LOOPER, ALMOST HUMAN (TV Show), DISTRICT 9, the original STAR WARS trilogy, and the novels of Elmore Leonard.

Critically hailed for his forceful, militant, authoritative figures and one of Hollywood's most talented and versatile performers, Laurence (John) Fishburne III has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a number of NAACP Image honors.
Born in Augusta, Georgia on July 30, 1961, to Hattie Bell (Crawford), a teacher, and Laurence John Fishburne, Jr., a juvenile corrections officer. His mother transplanted her family to Brooklyn after his parents divorced. At the age of 10, the young boy appeared in his first play, "In My Many Names and Days," at a cramped little theater space in Manhattan. He continued on but managed to avoid the trappings of a child star per se, considering himself more a working child actor at the time. Billing himself as Larry Fishburne during this early phase, he never studied or was trained in the technique of acting.
In 1973, at the age of 12, young Laurence won a recurring role on the daytime soap One Life to Live (1968) that lasted three seasons. He subsequently made his film debut in the ghetto-themed Cornbread, Earl and Me (1975). At 14 Francis Ford Coppola cast him in Apocalypse Now (1979), which filmed for two years in the Philippines. Laurence didn't work for another year and a half after that long episode. A graduate of Lincoln Square Academy, Coppola was impressed enough with Laurence to hire him again down the line with featured roles in Rumble Fish (1983), The Cotton Club (1984) and Gardens of Stone (1987).
Throughout the 1980s, he continued to build up his film and TV credit list with featured roles despite little fanfare. A recurring role as Cowboy Curtis on the kiddie show Pee-wee's Playhouse (1986) helped him through whatever lean patches there were at the time. TV guest appearances at this time included "Trapper John," "M*A*S*H*," "Hill Street Blues," "Miami Vice," "Spenser: For Hire" and "The Equalizer."
With the new decade (1990s) came out-and-out stardom for Laurence. A choice lead in John Singleton's urban tale Boyz n the Hood (1991) catapulted him immediately into the front of the film ranks. Set in LA's turbulent South Central area, his potent role as a morally minded divorced father who strives to rise above the ignorance and violence of his surroundings, Laurence showed true command and the ability to hold up any film.
On stage, Laurence would become invariably linked to playwright August Wilson and his 20th Century epic African-American experience after starring for two years as the eruptive ex-con in "Two Training Running." For this powerful, mesmerizing performance, Laurence won nearly every prestigious theater award in the books (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Theatre World). It was around the time of this career hallmark that he began billing himself as "Laurence" instead of "Larry." More awards and accolades came his way. In addition to an Emmy for the pilot episode of the series "Tribeca," he was nominated for his fine work in the quality mini-movies The Tuskegee Airmen (1995) and Miss Evers' Boys (1997).
On the larger screen, both Laurence and Angela Bassett were given Oscar nominations for their raw, seething portrayals of rock stars Ike and Tina Turner in the film What's Love Got to Do with It (1993). To his credit, he managed to take an extremely repellent character and make it a sobering and captivating experience. A pulp box-office favorite as well, he originated the role of Morpheus, Keanu Reeves' mentor, in the exceedingly popular futuristic sci-fi The Matrix (1999), best known for its ground-breaking special effects. He wisely returned for its back-to-back sequels.
Into the millennium, Laurence extended his talents by making his screenwriting and directorial debut in Once in the Life (2000), in which he also starred. The film is based on his own critically acclaimed play "Riff Raff," which he staged five years earlier. In 1999, he scored a major theater triumph with a multi-racial version of "The Lion in Winter" as Henry II opposite Stockard Channing's Eleanor of Acquitaine. On film, Fishburne has appeared in a variety of interesting roles in not-always-successful films. Never less than compelling, a few of his more notable parts include an urban speed chess player in Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993); a military prisoner in Cadence (1990); a college professor in Singleton's Higher Learning (1995); a CIA operative in Bad Company (1995); the title role in Othello (1995) (he was the first black actor to play the part on film); a spaceship rescue team leader in the sci-fi horror Event Horizon (1997); a Depression-era gangster in Hoodlum (1997); a dogged police sergeant in Clint Eastwood's Mystic River (2003); a spelling bee coach in Akeelah and the Bee (2006); and prominent roles in the mainstream films Predators (2010) and Contagion (2011). He returned occasionally to the theatre. In April 2008, he played Thurgood Marshall in the one-man show "Thurgood" and won a Drama Desk Award. It was later transferred to the TV screen and earned an Emmy nomination.
In the fall of 2008, Fishburne replaced William Petersen as the male lead investigator on the popular CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000), but left the show in 2011 to refocus on films and was in turn replaced by Ted Danson. Having since had a regular role as "Pops" in the comedy Black-ish (2014), he has also been seen on the bigger screen in the Superman movies Man of Steel (2013) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) as Daily Planet chief Perry White; played a hired assassin in the thriller Standoff (2016); portrayed a minister and former Vietnam War vet in Last Flag Flying (2017); and essayed the role of a revengeful prison warden in Imprisoned (2018).
Fishburne has two children, Langston and Montana, from his first marriage to actress Hajna O. Moss. In September 2002, Fishburne married Cuban-American actress Gina Torres.Captain Abraham 'Abe' Houston

Pedro Bromfman brings his unique arsenal - a background in jazz, the music of his native Brazil, and cutting-edge electronics - to stunning effect on the screen. For three seasons, he defined the musical character of Netflix's Narcos, a gritty, propulsive heartbeat for the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar, also performing the majority of the music himself. He worked on that with regular collaborator José Padilha, who also directed the hit reboot of RoboCop, for which Bromfman provided a dynamic, action packed score.
His music has accompanied a prolific stream of stories in both home theaters and multiplexes, with the recent release of the Electronic Arts video game Need For Speed: Heat, as well as Latin-American rom-coms and blockbusters like the Tropa de Elite (Elite Squad) film series, to National Geographic docuseries, Chain Of Command, to the crime thriller Thumper and The Story of Us with Morgan Freeman.
Bromfman's childhood was animated with music, growing up in the lively Rio de Janeiro. His mother loved to sing, and his father unwittingly planted the seed of scoring films when he took 13-year-old Pedro to see Cinema Paradiso. Bromfman mastered the guitar and several other instruments-along with jazz, Brazilian music, and classical music-and studied composition at the Berklee College of Music. He quickly went from an arranger and player on scoring sessions to the composer running them.
"I've always been a very eclectic musician," says Bromfman, "and that also feeds my desire to reinvent myself and to try and create unique music every time I approach a new job."music score- Writer
