Aint-it-cool is reporting that BATTLESTAR GALACTICA mastermind David Eick will be creating a pilot for a television series based on Alfonso Curaon's masterpiece CHILDREN OF MEN. That 2006 film, which was the best film of that year and criminally snubbed by the Academy for a best picture nomination, was a visionary story of a future world where women can no longer conceive children and the quest of one man (Clive Owen) to safeguard one woman who has miraculously become pregnant.Aint-it-cool is linking its readers to the original source of the story...here's that link:

The proposed series would air on the Sci-Fi channel; Eick is starting to write the pilot any day now. I will be keeping a close eye on this project.

I love Battlestar Galactica and Children of Men: The Movie, so I'm looking very forward to seeing how this turns out.
I hope it makes it to series. It will at least make for a cool pilot.
Definitely agree. I've not read the book, but it looks like the series will live more in that world of No New Children, which I like.
