Leo's "Eco-Town" Project
(It) looks like work on Leonardo DiCaprio’s new doc is moving faster than expected with
Discovery Channel set to debut the series early. The show is also changing names from Eco
Town to The Greensburg Project. It will span four networks,
including the main Discovery channel and sister network TLC, starting a few weeks ahead of
Planet Green’s launch in June.
Here’s a brief synopsis of the show’s premise: “The 13-part series, “Eco-Town,” will chronicle the rebuilding of the small town of Greensburg, Kan., which was devastated by a tornado May 4. The town, which has more than 1,500 residents, will be rebuilt as a ’sustainable model of eco-living and one that will save it from future environmental catastrophe.'" The project was brought to Discovery by DiCaprio, a noted environmentalist, and Craig Piligiann of Pilgrim Films & Television. DiCaprio will executive produce through his company, Appian Way, along with Piligian and Discovery Studios.
