Amazon Developing Ringworld
The streaming network has been ramping up its slate with new projects as part of its programming strategy overhaul in search of big, buzzy shows. A major emphasis has been put on fast-tracking big-scope genre drama series in the mold of Game Of Thrones and The Walking Dead, with Sharon Tal, brought in earlier this year as Head Of Event Series, tasked with spearheading the efforts. The deals for Ringworld, Lazarus and Snow Crash are part of that push.
Ringworld, a co-production with MGM, is based on Larry Nivens science fiction book series from the 1970s and tells the story of Louis Gridley Wu, a bored man celebrating his 200th birthday in a technologically-advanced, future Earth. Upon being offered one of the open positions on a voyage, Louis joins a young woman and two aliens to explore Ringworld, the remote artificial ring beyond Known Space. The books cover their thrilling journey as they attempt to fulfill their original mission to uncover the mysteries of Ring.
