Now this will be fun if they pull it off. Amazon is developing a series based on the wonderful 1999 movie Galaxy Quest
From Entertainment Weekly:
Galaxy Quest TV series landing at Amazon
The Galaxy Quest crew has found a new home.
Amazon Studios is developing a series based on the beloved 1999 cult sci-fi hit, EW has learned exclusively.
The streaming outlet is partnering with producer Paramount Television on the project. Last April, media outlets reported that Paramount was shopping a Galaxy Quest title to prospective buyers.
Unlike many high-concept movies, the story behind Galaxy Quest seems as suitable for a TV series as it was for a theatrical film. The original premise: The cast of a cheesy-yet-endearing Star Trek-like series find themselves abducted and forced to run a real starship by a race of embattled aliens that mistook their show for a documentary.
No word on who will be cast for the show but the original writers, director and producer are involved.
A really fun movie if you have not seen it yet.
