Khoury's "The Last Templar" To Be NBC Mini-Series

TV Guide reports that NBC is making its first mini-series in many years: "The Last Templar," based on Raymond Khoury's bestselling novel. The miniseries centers on New York archaeologist Tess Chaykin (Mira Sorvino), who investigates the Knights Templar after a group of masked horsemen steal an artifact from the Metropolitan Museum. Victor Garber will play Monsignor De Angelis, a priest who helps with the investigation.

Shooting begins next month in Montreal and Morocco for an airdate later in the year.
