Robert J. Sawyer announces his Hollywood agent has “just closed a development deal with Original Pictures, Inc., for a TV series adaptation of my WWW novels. I’m attached as Executive Producer (along with Nicholas Hirst and Kim Todd), and I will write the pilot. Still a long way from being on the air (and we don’t yet have a broadcaster), but it’s a major step, and I’m thrilled.”
The first book in the trilogy, Wake, won the Aurora award, and was a finalist for the Hugo and the Campbell Awards.
