imhilienHooray, there's been an update from Nick Dudman's Production Hell re televising the Saga of the Exiles:
To update those keeping tabs; Exiles is progressing…screenwriter onboard…discussions ongoing…a long, slow process! We are determined that this will be faithful to the books, that’s what I promised Julian…and that means it all takes time….so many people want to turn it into something else, usually something we’ve all already seen…so lots of false starts as is often the case…I hope to have more detail later this year…
So, it sounds like poor Nick is mud-wrestling with clueless execs who say things like, 'hey, let's have the main cast as teenagers!1!'
[mud-wrestling continues]
I will be looking forward to the next update *crosses fingers*
