Und schon hat er das nächste SF-Projekt geangelt: Für Spike TV schreibt er an einer Adaption von Kim Stanley Robinsons "Red Mars"

Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski has been tapped to write Red Mars, Spike TV’s scripted drama series project in development based on Kim Stanley Robinson’s best-selling “hard” science-fiction trilogy about the colonization and terraforming transformation of Mars into a place where humans can live sustainably.

The TV series adaptation, named after the first book in the trilogy, has been on fast-track development at Spike since the network took in the project in October with HBO’s Game Of Thrones co-executive producer Vince Gerardis as producer and Robinson as consultant.

Ui, ich bin gespannt. Die Bücher waren gut. Sense8 klingt hingegen wenig vertrauenserweckend.
