Sources say new Showtime boss Chris McCarthy is a big fan of the 1997 dystopian movie and hopes the update from Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa has franchise potential.
The movie starred Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman and was set in a not too distant future where eugenics is common and genetic discrimination is illegal. Andrew Niccol wrote and directed the movie, which was produced by Sony’s Columbia Pictures. Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg, Stacey Sher and Gail Lyon produced the pic.
Since McCarthy added Showtime to his purview, the exec who also oversees linear outlets including but not limited to Paramount Network, MTV and Comedy Central has leaned harder into the franchise strategy with multiple offshoots ofin the works while also scrapping a few already produced dramas that he didn’t believe fit into the cabler’s new programming strategy.
