J.J. Abrams may team with HBO for a drama about cancer patients. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the "Lost" co-creator and "Mission: Impossible III" writer-director would serve as executive producer of the drama from Tom Schulman ("Dead Poets Society") and Rafael Yglesias.
The project would be the first under a big-ticket deal Abrams and his company, Bad Robot, signed with Warner Bros. TV last summer. HBO and the studio are both units of Time Warner.
