Amazon Increases Production Spending for 2018, Developing 3 New Sci-Fi
Series
By Debra Birnbaum
The streaming service is developing the following:
• “Lazarus,” based on a comic book by Greg Rucka (“Marvel’s Jessica
Jones”), is set in an alternative near future, where the world has
been divided among 16 rival families, who run their territories in a
feudal system. Each family has allies and enemies among the other
families. To crush uprisings and fight wars, most families have a
Lazarus: a one-person kill squad.
Rucka serves as writer and executive producer on “Lazarus,” along with
Michael Lark (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”) and Angela Cheng
Caplan.
• “Snow Crash,” which is based on Neal Stephenson’s cult novel, is a
one-hour science fiction drama set in futuristic America. In reality,
Hiro Protagonist delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo’s CosoNostra Pizza
Inc., but in the Metaverse he’s a warrior prince. Plunging headlong
into the enigma of a new computer virus that’s striking down hackers
everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a
search-and-destroy mission for the shadowy virtual villain.
A co-production with Paramount Television, “Snow Crash” is executive
produced by Joe Cornish (“Ant-Man”) and Frank Marshall (“Back to the
Future”).
• “Ringworld,” a co-production with MGM, is based on Larry Niven’s
sci-fi book series from the 70’s. It tells the story of Louis Gridley
Wu, a bored man celebrating his 200th birthday in a
technologically-advanced, future Earth. Upon being offered one of the
open positions on a voyage, Louis joins a young woman and two aliens
to explore Ringworld, the remote artificial ring beyond “Known Space.”

wants to throw big bucks at them they just won't be as good as the

I'll give it a chance. I recall the dark days of the TV adaptation of

Varley's "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" which ditched the entire 8
Worlds background and added in a plot to overthrow an oppressive
government. I survived that, so I can survive this.
I predict many long flamewars over the casting of Louis and whether
Nessus should be animatronic or CGI.

The casting wars over Louis (and to a lesser extent Teela) has been
going on for years, and has begun anew today. Invariably somebody will

that he's totally wrong for the part. And then somebody will insist on
Drew Barrymore for Teela, a 6' tall 19 year old raven haired beauty,
because they want a blonde. I at least understand where Fat comes from.

still get any work done. Plus, if they really know what they’re doing,
one might even be too much for the task at hand. A super-soldier is a
waste if you just want to collect protection money from a bunch of
shopkeepers.
No, the “better” solution is to keep goons fighting against goons (and
superheroes battling supervillains). That allows the wars to
perpetuate, which is really all that warlords want. Give them someone
who can end the wars and they’d have no idea what to do with themselves.

Or could. In 1984. For long enough to walk across the stage
at Worldcon. Maybe not so much now. I don't know who it was
in that suit, but ... quite impressive, at least from where I
was sitting.
