NBC eyeing Postaer’s ‘Last Generation’
Speaking of TV (as if we speak of much else), Euro RSCG Chicago creative head Steffan Postaer may have a second career ahead of him. Word is that renowned producer Mike Medavoy, co-founder of Orion Pictures and former chairman of Tri-Star Pictures, has optioned Postaer's self-published novel, The Last Generation, as a pilot for NBC. Given the slate of supernatural-heavy new programming coming next year, this story, about a future in which humans can no longer reproduce (“It’s not the end of the world. Just the end of us”), might just have a chance. You can check out a portion of the novel here.
