Syfy channel have announced that they are developing a series based on the 1995 Terry Gilliam film, 12 Monkeys.
Mark
Stern, President of Syfy, said “We have a great pilot,” and, “We’re now
flushing out what the rest of the series might be. We’re looking at short
orders, maybe eight to 10 [episodes] as opposed to 13. Some may be [split runs
of] 10 and 10. Our goal is to do five or six original scripted series a year
and a big tentpole event miniseries that could also possibly serve as a
backdoor pilot to a series as well, the way that Battlestar Galactica did. It’s
an exciting time for us.”
In the
film by Gilliam, Bruce Willis plays a convict that is transported back in time
from his crumbling world to our present, and is given the task of preventing a
global pandemic from killing all humans. Co-starring in the film is Brad Pitt
and Madeline Stowe. It’s a must watch film.
