DESCRIPTION:
(from Syfy's press release, August 2014) Syfy announced today that two time Oscar nominee Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, In The Line of Fire, Air Force One) and Scott Stuber (Safe House, Ted) have signed on to develop Ghost Brigades, based on John Scalzi's Hugo Award nominated "Old Man's War" universe book series. Additionally, Jake Thornton and Ben Lustig (both currently developing Winter's Knight for Columbia Pictures) have been signed to write the pilot. Universal Cable Productions is producing the series for the network, along with Petersen's Radiant Productions, and Stuber's Bluegrass Films. Ghost Brigades follows John Perry, who at seventy five, enlists into the Colonial Defense Force to fight a centuries-long war for man's expansion into the cosmos. Technology allows experiences and consciousness to be transplanted into younger bodies that are outfitted to endure the harsher rigors of war in space. However, soon after John arrives, he finds himself involved with a mysterious woman, and at the same time, at the center of an unraveling conspiracy involving an elite fighting force known as The Ghost Brigades. |
