Including a Ringworld:
Another project, Infinity looks like it would be in my wheel house.:
Any other projects interest you guys?
Including a Ringworld:
Yes, Larry Niven's classic book series about the coolest megastructure in space could finally be getting a four-hour miniseries, according to Entertainment Weekly. EW describes this as a story about human explorers traveling to the farthest reaches of space to investigate "an alien habitat the size of one million Earths." They crashland and discover ancient civilizations, miraculous technology, and a possible salvation for Earth. Syfy considered making a Ringworld miniseries nine years ago, with a different crew. Let's hope this turns out better than Syfy's two Riverworld miniseries, and its Earthsea mini. This is being written by Michael Perry (The River, Paranormal Activity 2). And it's a co-production of MGM Television and Universal Cable Productions (UCP).
Another project, Infinity looks like it would be in my wheel house.:
Infinity: This is one of several space shows that Syfy is putting into development, but this one is notable for being the creation of Javier Grillo-Marxuach, creator of The Middleman. It's being produced by Berman/Braun and Universal Television. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this one starts out with an alien "armada" appearing near Pluto. Earth sends the only interstellar ship we have, created by a billionaire industrialist out of secret alien technology we discovered in the 1960s. But after the ship engages the alien fleet, it falls into a wormhole and winds up in deep uncharted space, searching for a way home. Expect lots of Middleman-style humor and insanity in this one.
