Fox is developing a new drama pilot from the co-writer of Ben Affleck's Gone Baby Gone.



Aaron Stockard worked with Affleck on the Hollywood star's 2007 directorial debut and on 2010 follow-up The Town.

His new project Thick as Thieves is a blue collar soap set in Boston, according to Deadline.

Stockard will write the pilot, while 20th Century Fox Television and Chernin Entertainment will produce.

Other drama projects currently in development at Fox include a fantasy series from Thor co-writers Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, a serial killer show from Kevin Williamson and a psychological thriller by Fight Club scribe Jim Uhls.

An adaptation of Leif GW Persson's Evert Backstrom novels and a teen drama from Greek creator Patrick Sean Smith are also in the works.
