Dreadstar in developement for tv.
Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2015 1:26 pmLast year there was news about Jim Starlin's Dreadstar being made into a movie: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=20459&p=439684&hilit=Dreadstar#p439684
Apparently plans have changed and they are now working on a tv series instead: http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/dreadst ... 201435486/
I view this as good news. Comics have worked well with serialized episodic plotlines that can be transferred easily to the small screen. Look at what has been done with Smallville, Arrow, The Flash, Gotham, and Constantine. Dreadstar is merely people with super powers and magic in a space opera setting. TV f/x has gotten better and better over the last 20 years, there is no reason you couldn't put the world of the Empirical Galaxy on the tv screen.
