Spike TV to come up with modern 'Count Of Monte Cristo'

Spike TV is developing a modern version of 'Count Of Monte Cristo', which would have a contemporary and high-octane action and political twist, it has been revealed.

The project, which is based on an idea by Maurer, is still in early stages, and it is unclear whether it would be developed as a miniseries or limited series, Deadline.com reported.

Maurer is producing the Monte Cristo drama with producing partner Alixandre Witlin.
