A modern Marlowe?

It must be pilot season, because we're starting to hear rumblings about potential shows. One caught my attention when I searching for info on a Heroes actress. Jason O'Mara is in final negotiations to play Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe in a new ABC series. The catch is it's set in modern day Los Angeles, not the gritty mean streets of the Chandler era. Even the HBO series with Powers Boothe was a period piece. I'm wary of updates. Sometimes they work and sometimes not. Can you stay true to Marlowe in this time period? If it's makes it past the drawing board stage, I'll be curious to hear my father's reaction. I acquired my love of Chandler and Hammett honestly from him.
