DESCRIPTION:
(from Syfy's press release, August 2015) Syfy today announced that it will develop Frederik Pohl's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel Gateway about humanity's encounter with a mysterious, ancient alien civilization as a one-hour scripted series with Entertainment One Television (eOne) and Universal Cable Productions (UCP). eOne will distribute the series worldwide. David Eick (Battlestar Galactica) and Josh Pate (Falling Skies) collaborated on the adaptation and will serve as executive producers on the series. Eick will revise a pilot script written by Pate and serve as showrunner. The series will also be executive produced by Martha De Laurentiis through the De Laurentiis Company, former eOne Television executive Michael Rosenberg, and Lorenzo De Maio. eOne Television's Gerard Bocaccio, SVP US Scripted Development, will oversee the project for the studio. In Gateway, humanity discovers an asteroid teeming with the long abandoned spaceships of an advanced alien race -- the Heechee - setting in motion a gold rush for alien artifacts and technology. The ships are preprogrammed, transporting their voyagers to distant worlds of riches -- or certain death. Undaunted by the peril or the odds, prospector Robinette Broadhead gambles everything on a journey to Gateway. After one nightmare mission, he returns to extraordinary wealth and luxury, but is haunted by the loss of his crewmates, including the love of his life. |
