Filmmaker John Woo is reportedly set to produce an original neo-noir crime thriller scripted television series entitled "Cognition" at Catalyst Global Media. The story revolves around two serial killer investigations set in two very stylistically contrasting worlds - the vast and desolate lands of America's declining mid-West, and the thriving and overpopulated streets of the Far East. Specifically the narrative deals with an American ex-detective now in the Far East to undergo a medical procedure to delete his traumatic memories in an effort to find a cure for his cancer.
