‘Gattaca’ TV Series Based On Movie In Works At Showtime

[Lootpack]

Homeland co-creators/executive producers Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa are plotting a return to Showtime with Gattaca, a series based on the 1997 movie of the same name. Details are not confirmed as deals for the project, from Sony Pictures Television, are still being finalized. Written by Gordon, Gansa and Craig Borten, the series takes place a generation after the events of the film, when science and humanity have evolved to the point where we can direct our own evolution. Genetic engineering has created a world in which parents can determine the future of their children before they are born (the Valids), which by default has created a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of one’s skin (the Invalids).

The Hawke joint was straight sci-fi piff.

GATTACA is as good as a sci-fi movie as there is. This is like turning 2001 or Interstellar into a tv series.

You surprised like Anton. But Showtime never saves anything for the swim back.

Last 8 are going to be terrible.

Definitely a classic. I’m always cautiously optimistic when classics are brushed off but we will see what they can do…

Yeah and knowing how Showtime rolls, this might have been a blessing in the long run.
