Marty Adelstein’s Tomorrow Studios has optioned the rights to develop Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 Korean feature Snowpiercer as a TV series. Josh Friedman (Avatar 3, War Of The Worlds) is attached to write the adaptation, set in a postapocalyptic ice age where the only remaining life on the planet survives aboard a train that travels around the globe. Bong and Dooho Choi will executive produce alongside Tomorrow Studios’ Marty Adelstein & Becky Clements as well as Friedlam.
Scott Derrickson ha pubblicamente annunciato su twitter di stare pensando a rinunciare a dirigere le riprese aggiuntive del pilota. Ci sarebbero contrasti con il nuovo showrunner Mason, che avrebbe una visione radicalmente differente dello show.
