Jeffrey Donovan to direct “Burn Notice” prequel movie
Jeffrey Donovan is set to direct an upcoming two-hour “Burn Notice” movie starring Bruce Campbell and scheduled to premiere on the USA Network in spring 2011.
Filming begins in January on location in Bogota, Columbia.
The prequel, set in late 2005, begins after a Columbian rebel faction makes trouble for the locally stationed military platoon, leading Lieutenant Commander Sam Axe (Campbell) to be sent down to advise.
Sam begins to uncover the dark secrets of the area as the mission unfolds, and learns the truth about sacrifice, deception and ultimately what’s worth fighting for, according to a news release.
“Burn Notice” creator Matt Nix serves as writer and executive producer.
Donovan and Campbell are also executive producers on the Fox Television Studios project along with Mikkel Bondesen.
The season four finale of the “Burn Notice” series, starring Donovan as a blacklisted spy, airs at 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 16, on USA.
