The Wrap is reporting that there’s a new hot genre script in town. It’s called EXTANT, from unknown scribe Mickey Fisher.
Written as a TV pilot, it’s a one-hour sci-fi drama about…
John and Molly Watts and their son, a human-like robot named Ethan. Molly, the space-traveling wife, is also pregnant with a baby that is part human and part alien. The family intrigue deepens in subsequent episodes.
„Everyone is freaking out about it,“ an agent apparently told The Wrap. „It’s ‚A.I.‘ as a TV series.“
The script is written in five acts and takes place on earth and in a space station. Warner Bros. has evidently made an offer to acquire the project and turn it into a movie, according to multiple individuals inside and outside the studio. However, talent agency WME wants to turn „Extant“ into a TV series with Steven Spielberg producing. Which works well, because Amblin TV („Under the Dome“, „The River“) is developing the project.
