Raven Rock, a drama series project based on Garrett Graff’s upcoming nonfiction book, has landed at NBC in a script deal with significant penalty. The project hails from eOne Television and Paramount Television, who will serve as the studios, along with Bob Cooper’s Landscape Entertainment and Robert Zemeckis’ Compari Entertainment.
Writers Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia will adapt Graff’s book, Raven Rock: The Inside Story Of The U.S. Government’s Secret Plan To Save Itself – While The Rest Of Us Die, which will be published by Little Brown in 2015.
The tome explores the history of our government’s secret efforts to ensure survival if most of America or its leaders are killed in a nuclear attack on the U.S. There is what is known as “CoG” or “Continuity of Government”, which are Top Secret, highly detailed plans on how to save the highest ranks; start over; and save America or, at the very least, the idea of America.
The name of the book and potential TV comes from Raven Rock, a massive, classified, underground military installation in Pennsylvania (one of several secret military bunkers), which will serve as the central command post for the U.S. government in the wake of a nuclear attack.

Ooh, I love post-apocalypse shows/movies. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds a little like Revolution. That worked out so well, huh?
ReplyDeleteBut it won't hurt to watch the pilot.
I love post apocaliptic books/shows/movies, so count me in if this one makes it.
