Paradise Set To Be A Sci-Fi Prison Break

US network NBC has ordered a pilot for a show called Paradise , which seems to be Prison Break meets Escape From New York . It has been created by producer Greg Berlanti ( Arrow ) and writer Seth Grahame-Smith ( Pride And Prejudice And Zombies , Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter ).

Erm… is there an original idea anywhere in this pitch? Then again, originality has never exactly been one of Grahame-Smith’s strong points.
