Amblin, a production company owned by film director Steven Spielberg, has plans to adapt Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World for television.
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:
First published in 1932, Brave New World will be adapted by writer Les Bohem, who penned Taken, which won the 2003 Emmy for best miniseries and racked up six other nominations. Amblin TV co-presidentsDarryl Frank and Justin Falvey will executive produce alongside Bohem. The drama hails from Universal Cable Productions.
“Brave New World is one of the most influential genre classics of all time,” stated Dave Howe, president of SyFy in a statement. “Its provocative vision of a future gone awry remains as powerful and as timeless as ever. Promising to be a monumental television event, Brave New World is precisely the groundbreaking programming that is becoming the hallmark of Syfy.”
