AMC developing The Terror tv series

xg4bx · 02-14-2013, 03:34 AM

''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.''

This is a great book and it will be very interesting to see how it translates to the screen.

Interesting. I loved the book, too. But I'm not going to get my hopes up. It's new television after all, and I'm clearly not in any of today's TV execs' "target demographic" any longer.

wanted to read The Terror for years but haven't got around to it. Maybe now I will. Loved Simmons' Hyperion Cantos. AMC has done pretty well with shows like Walking Dead, The Killing, and of course Mad Men so it may turn out really well.

I liked the book but I'm not holding much hope for a TV adaptation unless it runs 4+ hours.

AMC is doing an awful lot of stuff right, these days, it seems.

I hope this doesn't end up being a whiff at the plate for them. I'd like to see this book on the screen.

I did not like the novel, and won't be running to watch this show.
