HBO is making a move in the sci-fi arena with The
Spark, a drama from Karl Gajdusek , creator/executive producer
of ABC’s recent series Last Resort and co-writer of the feature
Oblivion starring Tom Cruise. The project, now in development,
is set in a world undergoing a technological/industrial revolution
in the near future when contacted by a signal from beyond the
solar system. It centers on the human reaction to a mystery
still spiritually and technologically out of reach and follows a
female protagonist as she works on the cusp of the Earth’s effort to discover the
origin of the signal. Gajdusek is writing and executive producing the potential
series, which promises to explore on a human level what he calls the five pillars
of science fiction: Alien Contact, Artificial Intelligence, Technological
breakthroughs, Space Exploration/Adventure, and Origin Stories.
