abalanzarse sobre ello
Creo que es la idea, aunque "ello" tal vez sea mejor sustituirlo por otro término en función del contexto.

arrollar la cosa
arrollar = arrastrar o pasar por encima una fuerza o algo que se mueve con ímpetu (Diccionario Abreviado del Español Actual)
I´m sure of the sense - the 17 definintions given in the Urban Dictionary (see Reference above) are very useful - but I don´t know if "arrollar" can be used figuratively like this, so it´s just an idea.
The writer of "The Wire" (a series based in Baltimore) is spending time in New Orleans researching the new series he is writing. He is saying that he doesn´t want his script to be taken over; he wants to take the time to study how people live and the way they speak and behave in that city. What he definitely doesn´t want is Hollywood producers on the scene trying to push him in directions he doesn´t want to go, creatively-speaking.
