Eick va adapter Children of Men

D'après scifi.com,
David Eick (scénariste et producteur de Battlestar Galactica et Bionic
Woman) va adapter le roman de P.D. James (précédemment adapté en film
par Alfonso Cuaron).
Eick a dit que la série sera plus proche du livre que du film au sens où l'aspect guerre y sera moins présent.
Le projet en est au stade de l'écriture...

Bionic Woman executive producer David Eick told SCI FI Wire that he's working on a pilot script for a proposed TV series based on Children of Men, P.D. James' SF novel, which also inspired Alfonso Cuaron's 2006 film of the same name.

"It's really taking root more in the origins of the novels in
that it will focus on the cultural movement in which young people
become the society's utter focus," Eick (Battlestar Galactica)
said in an interview at SCI FI Channel's upfront presentation to
advertisers in New York on March 18. "Much like our culture, whenever
Lindsay Lohan does something [and] it becomes the headline of every
news show, it's about how, when you don't have a responsibility to the
next generation and you're free to do whatever you want, where do you
draw the line?"

Eick added that Children of Men will question how
society defines responsibility, freedom and a sense of values when it
doesn't necessarily believe humans will survive as a species. "So it's
a very compelling, I think, human question that science fiction has
always explored extremely provocatively," he said. "It's not really a
war show like the movie was. It's more an exploration of that issue."

Eick is writing Children of Men now, even as he closes out SCI FI Channel's original series Battlestar Galactica and prepares for production on SCI FI's recently green-lighted prequel series Caprica. Eick's Bionic, meanwhile, has been canceled by NBC. (NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCI FI Channel and SCIFI.COM.) --Ian Spelling

Sans l'aspect guerre, on risque de salement se faire chier...
