'Harriet' star Cynthia Erivo's sci-fi podcast is becoming a movie
Podcast adaptations have a mixed track record in Hollywood, but that isn't stopping Amblin Partners from being particularly ambitious. Steven Spielberg's outfit has bought the movie rights to Carrier, a sci-fi podcast created by Qcode and Dan Blank that stars Harriet actress and Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo. She'll both produce the movie and reprise her role as the truck driver Raylene, who discovers that her latest cargo is a threat to the planet that makes her a target.
Fox reportedly orders a 'Minority Report' TV pilot
It looks like that fabled TV adaptation of Minority Report is poised to become a reality. According to Deadline, Fox has ordered a pilot episode for Steven Spielberg's attempt to continue the storyline of his ambitious and occasionally prophetic sci-fi movie. Not that you'll likely see Tom Cruise or other familiar figures, mind you. The hoped-for series reportedly takes place 10 years after the film and focuses on one of the Precogs' (crime predictors') attempts to adjust to normal life with the help of a detective who finds ways to use those mental talents. There's no word on when the pilot could be ready, but the show at least appears to be more than just a twinkle in Amblin Television's eye.
