Hunted's Adam Rayner is to play Simon Templar in a new TV version of The Saint.

The series also stars Eliza Dushku (who plays an assistant, if the trailer is correct), and the Pilot features both Ian Ogilvy and Roger Moore.

Looks good based on the trailer and the cast.. I think Adam Rayner is a good actor (although I didn't like Hunted), and I've enjoyed everything I've seen Eliza Dushku in.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it'll make it beyond a pilot, as the company that made the trailer is currently preparing to try to sell it to the Networks. Unfortunately, while some US networks seem to like this kind of mindless action series (ABC and the CW spring to mind), it sometimes seems the Networks make odd decisions.
