DESCRIPTION:
(from Universal Cable Productions' press release, November 2016) Paramount Television in partnership with Universal Cable Productions (UCP), a division of NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, today announced plans to develop Robert Heinlein's popular 1961 science fiction novel "Stranger in a Strange Land" as a TV series for Syfy. Brad Fischer, James Vanderbilt and William Sherak of Mythology Entertainment, Scott Rudin, Garrett Basch and Eli Bush of Scott Rudin Productions, and Joe Vecchio of Vecchio Entertainment will serve as executive producers. Mythology's Julia Gunn will serve as co-executive producer. Considered a staple in many science fiction fans' libraries, "Stranger in a Strange Land" tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians. The novel explores his interaction with - and eventual transformation of - terrestrial culture. It predicted many of the movements and messages of the 1960's - from free love and hippie communes, to organized attempts at world peace. |
