I’ve learned that AMC has put another drama script on a track for a possible straight-to-series order. I hear the network is opening a writers room for Marvel (working title), a drama from Scott Free Prods. inspired by the story of Jet Propulsion Laboratory co-founder Jack Parsons.
Written by Mark Heyman, Marvel (no relation to the comic book company) is based on the book Strange Angel by George Pendle. Parsons was mourned as a science prodigy when he died at 37 in 1952. But it soon was discovered that the maverick rocketeer had been a devotee of black magic. Heyman executive produces with Scott Free’s Ridley Scott and David Zucker.
