Het is alweer twee jaar geleden dat je hier op Eigenwereld.nl mijn recensie van het briljante Snowpiercer kon lezen. Deze Science-fiction film had veel weg van een video game en fans hopen al jaren op een vervolg. Voor hun is er goed nieuws, want gisteren is bekend geworden dat de Amerikaanse TV zender TNT een pilot heeft besteld. Ik kijk er wel naar uit, maar tot de show echt live gaat is het nog een hoop proteïne bars eten. *grinz*.


Snowpiercer is set seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, and the remnants of humanity inhabit a gigantic, perpetually moving train that circles the globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival are questioned in this riveting television adaptation.

"'Snowpiercer' has one of the most original concepts to hit the screen in the last decade, and it's one that offers numerous opportunities for deeper exploration in a series format," said Sarah Aubrey, executive vice president of original programming for TNT. "We look forward to expanding TNT's relationship with Tomorrow Studios and their take on a world where humanity is pushed to the extreme."

"TNT has become a great producing partner to Tomorrow Studios and we are excited to continue our relationship with them on Snowpiercer, for which we not only have a pilot but are writing multiple scripts," added Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios. "This is an incredibly powerful story and one for which finding the perfect home was imperative to its success.
