Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars TV Series

3 Oct 2008
Apparently Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars is heading to TV on AMC. Well, it's being developed. Not much to go on yet, whether it's a film or a mini-series or whatever. Hmmm. Not sure how they'll really manage that.

KSR's Mars trilogy is brilliant, although a little dull a times (too much political constitution wrangling at the start of Blue Mars for a start). Part of that brilliance is the combination of intense detail and massive scope. Two things that sound difficult to achieve on TV.
