20th Century Fox Television and New Regency Television are teaming with Prime Universe Films to develop an event series based on the action/horror comic book Enormous from publisher 215 Ink. Andrew Poltkin of New Regency TV and Prime Universe’s Adrian Askarieh will serve as executive producers for the series. The search is on for a showrunner.
Set in the near future, the comic book series finds the world suffering a planetary resource crisis when a vast ecological cataclysm spawns The Enormous, massive beasts unlike anything ever witnessed. Displaced from atop the food chain, humankind struggles to stave off extinction, and a shattered society scrambles for refuge in the wake of the monstrous rampage. Ellen Grace, a former school teacher who lost everything in the uprising, leads a search and rescue team into the ruins of the city in hopes of locating children orphaned by the cataclysm. But not all the remaining humans seek salvation, and in a world dominated by monsters, man is still the most dangerous animal.

Not familiar with the comic book, but I fell this has to potential to be a campy mess or load of campy fun!
ReplyDeleteand CGI galore
ReplyDeleteIt's not a rumor, it got a put-pilot order back in September. They've gone quiet on it since then but as we get deeper into pilot season we should hear about it more.
ReplyDeleteSince its a Put-Pilot, they'll most likely order it to series and air it anyway. I doubt they'll want to pay the penalty.
I hope they can do this justice. I was hoping that the spin-off of Walking Dead would be lead by a 40+ year old Korean-American woman just because I wanted that show to have a different dynamic. The fact that this character is a teacher fills me with hope that she is competent when dealing with people. I hope she isn't a PE teacher and is something ordinary like English but she adapts well. I hope this works. I need more adventure/actions shows lead by women. Buffy and Agent Carter can't be the only ones.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, Fox tends to be one of the stronger outlets for series' with lots of CGI.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I'll definitely watch
