According to The Hollywood Reporter, USA has bought a 10-episode series based on the 2007 film starring Mark Wahlberg (which was inspired by Stephen Hunter's novel Point of Impact). "Shooter is an uncompromising exploration of the definition and evolution of a hero," said USA's executive vice-president of original programming. John Hlavin wrote the pilot script, and will executive produce with Wahlberg and Wahlberg's Ballersproducing partner Stephen Levinson.
