Children of Men coming to the small screen
David Eick, the executive producer of Battlestar Galactica, and the now cancelled Bionic Woman, is adapting Children of Men for NBC Universal. According to Eick, the television adaptation will draw more from the source novel by crime-fiction writer P.D. James than the action-heavy film by Alfonso Cuarón.
I’m a big, big fan of Cuarón, and some of the scenes in Children of Men are the most spectacularly shot action pieces in recent cinema. I’d hate for something to come along and tread all over the film.
But, I’m still open to the idea of a television show, particularly if takes on a different tone and direction. I’m interested to see how this one plays out.
