AMC has put in development The Terror, a drama series adaptation of the 2007 bestselling novel by Dan Simmons, which is being executive produced by Scott Free TV, Television 360 and feature producer Alexandra Milchan. Written by hot feature writer David Kajganich, The Terror is set in 1847 when the crew of a Royal Naval expedition to find the Arctic’s treacherous Northwest Passage discovers instead a monstrous predator – a cunning and vicious Gothic horror that stalks the ships in a desperate game of survival, the consequences of which could endanger the region and its native people forever.

This sounds like something different for AMC and I like that.
ReplyDeleteI won't get too excited until I hear it's picked up to season though.... even then I will like more news about casting...
It's definitely a unique premise but, at first glance, this seems more suited to a film than a series.
ReplyDeleteDoes seem like it would need a bigger budget. Unless it's one of those monsters you never "see".
ReplyDeleteIt's the budget that led me to my conclusion. It's questioning whether or not you could get a 4, 5, or 6 season series out of a creature stalking a ship.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of it very much and it sounds like something that could finally put the waling dead's lead in to some use, as they sound compatible
ReplyDeleteWell it's something different I suppose. Curious to see if it gets picked up.
