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.

Yes, yes! This is going to be absolutely amazing! HBO and sci fi? This cannot be any more intriguing!
ReplyDeleteim in.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. Can´t wait to hear more....
ReplyDeletesounds like something ring up my alley. Just hurry up!
ReplyDeleteThe team behind it does not inspire a lot of confidence. Last Resort was promising but dull and Oblivion was total garbage.
ReplyDeleteHBO and sci-fi? I am sold.
ReplyDeleteHBO + sci-fi = GOLD!
ReplyDeleteCount me in ;)
It almost sounds like an updated "Contact" or something pre-Prometheus!
ReplyDeleteSci-fi on HBO sounds good to me! Will be keeping my eye on this! Thanks for the news!
Ya, but I think a lot of times the cable networks are allowing creative teams to be more creative. I think it can be a real chore to work for the networks sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSounds cool. I'm in.
ReplyDeletewhy in scifi space shows the protagonist is many times a female? is it so she can better develop "communications" with the aliens?
