Back in July we got the early word that Syfy was considering a “12 Monkeys” series based on Terry Gilliam’s 1995 feature film of the same name, and today the news has arrived that a pilot has been greenlit.
From the Press Release:
Syfy is greenlighting “12 Monkeys,” a drama series based on the 1995 Universal Pictures film directed by Terry Gilliam, to pilot. The 60-minute cast-contingent pilot is being produced by Universal Cable Productions and Atlas Entertainment, producer of the original Bruce Willis-Brad Pitt theatrical version.
Based on the classic hit film, “12 Monkeys” follows the journey of a time traveler from the post-apocalyptic future who appears in present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will eventually decimate the human race.
Production is set to begin in November with Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett (“Terra Nova,” “Nikita”), who wrote the pilot script, serving as co-executive producers. Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven (American Hustle, Man of Steel, The Dark Knight trilogy) and Richard Suckle (American Hustle, The International) will executive produce. Roven produced the original film.
Look for more soon!
