I miss Michael Crichton dearly. And I have to say my favorite novel of his without a doubt has been SPHERE. But sounds like the book being developed into a TV show for HBO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I couldn’t be more excited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you’re not familiar with the book, or the subsequent movie, the basic premise is that the government discovers what they feel to be a UFO at the ocean’s floor. From there a team of scientists are called in, following a response report drafted by one of the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they get into the exploration, a whole new mystery begins to unfold. And yes, it involves a sphere. But I won’t get too into too far beyond that, just in case you haven’t read it (but should, ’cause it’s awesome).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the movie came out in 1998, I was so excited, sadly the movie didn’t measure up to the novel like other adaptations of Crichton’s work. I mean, it was definitely better than CONGO, but not by much. I have to say with all the sci-fi steeped in the novel, it can definitely be served from the serialization of the TV show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of all of this? The show is being developed by team members from the WESTWORLD crew, specifically executive producer & writer, Denise Th\u00e9. Not only that, but Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy are also on-board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to sweeten this pot even more, sounds like Robert Downey Jr. & Susan Downey will be on the producing team as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not much news beyond that, but I can’t wait for this to hit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll definitely keep you updated as news develops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
