''AMC has begun development of an adaptation of Dan Simmons’ supernatural period piece ‘The Terror,’ with horror legend Ridley Scott in the executive producer’s chair, but will ‘The Terror’ really live up to its name?
Don’t look now, but AMC may have another major supernatural hit on its hands when ‘The Terror’ comes about in the near future. Deadline reveals that the cable network has begun development on the supernatural period piece, which follows an 1847 Royal Naval expedition to find the Arctic’s treacherous Northwest Passage, and endangers the region and its native people forever.''
