Deadline
HBO Developing Sci-Fi Drama From 'Last Resort' Creator Karl Gajdusek
By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Friday June 7, 2013 @ 3:59pm PDT
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 follow 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. On the feature side, Gadjusek, repped by Verve and
Management 360, has the Pierce Brosnan thriller November Man
currently in production, and is writing Last Witness at Fox for
Denzel Washington to star.
Following the 1990s Tales From The Crypt, HBO has stayed largely away
from genre series until re-entering the space in a big way with mega
hit Game Of Thrones.
