Machinima to adapt the comicbook Enormous

This sounds like something Godzilla fans should be excited about. Deadline report that a TV series based on Tim Daniel and Mehdi Cheggour's Enormous is in the works at Fox Television, with Andrew Poltkin of New Regency TV and Prime Universe’s Adrian Askarieh on board as Executive Producers. Enormous started out as a one-off graphic novella in 2012 before getting a comic series last year, and has actually already been developed as a live-action web film (see below) from Trollhunter's Andre Ovredal and directer Ben David Grabinski.

The story deals with humankind facing extinction after and ecological cataclysm "spawns colossal beasts unlike anything ever witnessed." The main character is Ellen Grace, who leads a search and rescue team through the monster-infested streets in an attempt to rescue some children. There she discovers that the real danger comes from, you guessed it, other humans.

This show needs more of the Monster! I couldn't stand the build up of people mad maxing it. Also they need more practical effects. It kinda has a 'Children of Men' vibe to it. Godzilla does monster effects better. They can't lean too much on the CG stuff if they want to keep the immersion.

Weren't they originally courting Playstation with this series? The short film wasn't impressive, but Fox would demand higher quality from a pilot, so they'd better tighten it up.
