Denis Leary To Bring The World Of Gattaca To Television
Gattaca TV Series, Sci-Fi TV News — By endymi0n on October 31, 2009
Denis Leary is good, but I wouldn’t have thought that Sci-Fi was his kind of thing. Maybe he just loves a good idea. The awesome world of a genetic caste society described in the awesome “Gattaca” starring Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Uma Thurman is on the way to T.V.
Mr. Leary’s Apostle Films has bought the rights and we’ll probably see it sometime soon after Denis’s run ends on Rescue Me in 2011. In “Gattaca”, you only get as far in life as your genetic strength foretells. That is, unless you’re smart enough to cheat. “Gattaca” is great stuff. Go rent it. Thanks Slashfilm.

Gattaca is one of the best SciFi movies ever filmed. I liked the way they created a whole new world, with its rules and laws, and managed to make it unobtrusive to the plot. A wonderful example of intertwining of interesting characters, strange but rational world and a story that makes you think.
I hope they will have awesome writers working on this and that they will be able to recreate the richness of the original movie. I know it's a tall order.
One advice: don't mess with an already created world, focus on the characters, and plenty of interesting storylines. Don' mess with the world or its rules.
