DESCRIPTION:
(from National Geographic Channel's press release, July 2016) National Geographic Channel has closed a drama series script development deal with Amblin Television, Sony Pictures Television and CrichtonSun for a global limited series based on the soon-to-be-published Michael Crichton manuscript, Dragon Teeth. Crichton wrote the novel during his most prolific years as a writer and filmmaker. The book was discovered by his wife Sherri Crichton amongst his archives and immediately identified the book as "Pure Crichton." Adapted for television by Emmy(R)-award winning writers Graham Yost ("Justified," "The Pacific," "From the Earth to the Moon") and Bruce C. McKenna ("The Pacific," "Band of Brothers"), Crichton's Dragon Teeth follows the notorious rivalry between real-life paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh during a time of intense fossil speculation and discovery. The story unfolds through the adventures of a young fictional character named William Johnson who is apprenticed first to one, then to the other, and not only makes discoveries of historical proportion, but transforms into an inspiring hero only Crichton could have imagined. Known for his meticulous research, Crichton uses Marsh and Copes's heated competition during the "Bone Wars," the golden age of American fossil hunting, as the basis for a thrilling story set in the wilds of the American West in 1878. |
