Fox Developing Fantasy Drama Series ‘The Building’ From Neil Gaiman & Angry Films


Written by Albert Kim, The Building involves a large skyscraper that moves between alternate realities and a group of young urban explorers who are in the building and suddenly find themselves on an Earth wherein Reagan was not elected and Russia dropped the bomb. They then figure out they have a limited amount of time to figure out where they are and rescue members of their team before the building shifts again to another reality. They soon realize that this Earth is also different from where they started and getting back may be impossible.

Sounds like SLIDERS.

sure does... this time the means of alternate universe-hopping is a building... how original...

And even more like a failed pilot television series turned streaming movie with almost that exact premise called Parallels. I liked it but I'm glad it didn't go to series. Constance Wu might have not been on Fresh Off the Boat otherwise.

And it turns out there is a good reason for my above post. I read another article on it that pointed out this is based off that same source (and in fact the popularity of Parallels is why it is being made). Had I actually read the full original article linked to I would have seen that.
