Snowpiercer was one of the best sci-fi movies of 2014. Bong Joon Ho's adaptation of the 1982 graphic novel 'Le Transperceneige' was a gripping, thought-provoking adventure, and rivalled Edge Of Tomorrow for most underrated film of the year. The movie wasn't seen by many, after it received a very limited release (imposed by the studio after Bong refused to cut it down). Thankfully, it's become a bit of a cult hit, while the property has been given a second chance.
According to THR, the film will be adapted as a TV series, with Sarah Connor Chronicles' & Crossbones scribe Josh Friedman attached to write, with Bong set to executive produce. "I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity," Friedman said. "I’m a huge fan of director Bong’s films, especially Snowpiercer. It’s great the way the best sci-fi is great — thoughtful, political, funny, scary and sly. And it’s on a train. A big f—ing train. What more could you want?"
The series is being made by ITV's Tomorrow Studios (who were behind the NBC straight-to-series drama Aquarius). It'll likely be shopped out to find a network suitor at some point in the near future. Are you interested in watching a Snowpiercer TV series? Sound off below!
Set in 2031, the entire world is frozen except for those aboard the Snowpiercer. The survivors are on a train hurtling around the globe creating their own economy and class system. Led by Curtis, a group of lower-class citizens living in squalor at the back of the train are determined to get to the front of the train and spread the wealth around. Each section of the train holds new surprises for the group who have to battle their way through. A revolution is underway.
