By Nellie Andreeva

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Marley Shelton, who most recently starred in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's "Grindhouse" films, will star opposite Rufus Sewell in the new CBS drama "Eleventh Hour."

The Jerry Bruckheimer project, based on the British limited sci-fi series, centres on a special science adviser to the government (Sewell) who, with his feisty bodyguard in tow (Shelton), saves people from the worst abuses of science.

In the original series, the roles were played by Patrick Stewart and "Ugly Betty's" Ashley Jensen.
