Chris Carter To Do Thriller Drama Series For Georgeville Television
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Independent TV studio, Georgeville Television has teamed up with The
X-Files creator Chris Carter to finance a new drama series. Entitled
The After, the series will debut at next week�s MIPCOM TV market where
it will be shopped by newly formed Sierra/Engine Television.

Written by Carter, The After is a thriller which revolves around a
mysterious, unexplained event. In the vein of The X Files, The After
incorporates elements of science fiction, suspense, and real-world
fear and paranoia. �Chris has woven his mythology magic within a very
human, grounded story about the moment when we realize all of our
worst fears about the world and its future,� said Georgeville CEO Marc
Rosen, who co-founded the company earlier this year with Leon Clarance
of Motion Picture Capital, the financing arm of Reliance
Entertainment.

In addition to The After, GVTV is also financing a remake of the cult
UK sci-fi series Blake�s 7 with feature director Martin Campbell
(Casino Royale) for Syfy, Hunters, a pandemic thriller drama from
Overbrook Entertainment and Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski
at ABC as well Sense8, a supernatural series from the Wachowskis (The
Matrix) and Straczynski. Sierra/Engine is handling the international
distribution for GVTV�s projects, which also include Neil Cross�
midseason NBC pirate drama Crossbones. Carter has been looking at
non-traditional TV development/production for his return to television
after The X Files. Last year, he teamed with MRC for female-drive
thriller Unique, which didn�t get set up at a network. Carter and
Georgeville are with CAA.

In other words, it's "The Event", only with the name changed.

Yeesh.

I bet he has it all mapped out in his mind too. He knows exactly where it's
going. Just like The X-Files. <sarcasm>

And I'm sure he has all the explanations worked out right from
the start, just like he did with X-Files.

The fear being that this show will be mapped out as well as THE X-FILES
turned out to be, and that the writers will be as disciplined?
