Deadline reports that Georgeville Television have teamed up with Green Lantern director Martin Campbell to bring back cult classic British sci-fi TV show, Blake's 7. He will direct the pilot (reimagined and written by Heroes' Joe Pokaski) which is currently being shopped to various US networks. The original series ran for four years back in 1978 and was later adapted into a comic book by Marvel UK; running for 23 issues in total. The site describes the series as revolving around, "A group of criminals convicted and given a harsh sentence who, en route to pay the ultimate price for their crimes, get a second chance. These criminals without a code will gain a calling - the opportunity to become most unlikely, but most sorely needed heroes of their time."
