This is awesome news. I have been a big pro on this show ever since I have heard about it. I believe this is what the network should have after the vampire diaries. What does this mean though? They will beggin filming in 2013 the pilot or the series already? I don't understand if there is a series commitment or not already.
They shot a pilot, but the network wasn't happy with it, they wanted it edgier and darker ala Hunger Games, so it went back to the development stage. I guess they've gotten script approval and it's now going back to shooting.
They will probably change it to be more like Hunger Games then say that they are a fresh take on the story (aka what every show thats similar to a book or movie says).

ReplyDeleteSo they are only re-shooting the pilot, right?
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I loved the book and the pilot script. So, hopefully it will eventually make it to air.
ReplyDeleteWhere did Kiera say this though? Because it wasn't on her blog or twitter. :)
I'm not entirely sure but I have heard that the CW have this show in mind for a summer 2013 airing.
ReplyDeletewell she just personally tweeted to confirm this post :) https://twitter.com/kieracass
