"Jon Favreau has shared new details about NBC series Revolution. Iron Man director Favreau has helmed the pilot for the sci-fi drama devised by JJ Abrams (Lost) and Eric Kripke (Supernatural). &amp;quot;It definitely shares some DNA with Lost and [JJ&amp;#039;s other] shows,&amp;quot; Favreau told The Hollywood Reporter. &amp;quot;But I think when Eric came up with the idea for this, I think he was looking at things like Game of Thrones [and] Lord of the Rings - how to set a fantasy with swords and lo-tech societies butting [heads] and set it on an American backdrop.&amp;quot; Set in the near future, Revolution takes place in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist. &amp;quot;Even though America&amp;#039;s overgrown, [the series] has a personality that you don&amp;#039;t see in... European-based shows,&amp;quot; insisted Favreau.  Billy Burke (Twilight) and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) will star in Revolution, which will air on Mondays at 9/8c in the fall.
