I was discussing the book litteraly just yesterday and we wondered why it had never been adapted as a movie or series.
I'm a little wary that Syfy is working on this (you just know that FX or HBO would do a fantastic job, or at least give a decent budget); I don't need this book to be butchered into a Defiance clone. I'll still check it out it because they did do a great job recently with 12 monkeys.
At worst, it will give me an excuse to re-read the book.
One of my favorite series. Considering that the antagonists are a religious entity I wonder how controversial they will make it.
"event series" means limited run mini-series, a la last year's "Ascension", with a possibility of extended it to a full series if it does well.
Actor Bradley Cooper (The Hangover movies) & producer Todd Philips (also The Hangover movies) are attached. (Because I was just saying how much Hyperion was like a lost weekend in Vegas.)
