I haven't had the chance to meet him yet, but hope to do so in the near future. Robert Jaffe is one of the producers, I see, but the pilot script is by Jeff Buhler. This new NIGHTFLYERS television series - actually, it is just a pilot script at present, still several steps short of going on-air, but I am told that SyFy likes the script a lot - was developed based on the 1987 movie, and the television rights conveyed in that old 1984 contract.
So, this new TV show is technically based off the 1987 movie, as Martin recently described on his Livejournal: The novella's path to television is a little confusing, as Martin sold the Nightflyers film and TV rights to Robert Jaffe in 1984, who produced the 1987 film by Robert Collector. At least that last part sounds like Game of Thrones. But the crew members on their ship The Nightflyer start to mysteriously die one by one. Written in 1980, the original novella follows eight scientists and a telepath who have set out on a mission to contact alien life in the far reaches of the solar system. Syfy has ordered a pilot for a new show based on Martin's novella Nightflyers. It's a different world, a different time, a different universe in fact. Martin's epic fantasy saga The Song of Ice and Fire.īut Martin's next TV show is very far away from Westeros. It's a world that will be the setting for possibly four new spinoff series on HBO and still two more seasons of its main storyline adapted from George R.R. Over six seasons, Game of Thrones fans have been immersed in a vast world with thousands of years of detailed history, hundreds of characters, and dozens of brutal deaths.
