For a new TV series
First it was a campy, colourful (well, after an initial monochrome run) 1960s TV series. And then, in 1998 it became a film, with William Hurt in command and Joey from Friends as a hotshot pilot. Now? Lost In Space is headed back to the small screen thanks to Legendary TV.
The company, will recently announced plans for a series based on the Myst game, is apparently not finished raiding the archives for properties it can turn into new shows. This new take on Lost In Space will presumably turn down the dial on the cheesiness and focus instead on the space family Robinson idea, though hopefully without the cheerless, overly complicated time-twisting dynamics of the film.
Dracula Untold writers Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama are aboard to write the first script and shape the series. Which will follow the same basic concept of an American family dispatched on a long space voyage to colonize other worlds that run into trouble thanks to an enemy agent’s sabotage. We can recall another take on the show that was in development around the same time that J.J. Abrams’ first Star Trek was under way, though that appears to have gotten lost itself.
