Syfy Moves Forward With Childhood’s End Adaptation

childhoods end

One of Arthur C. Clarke’s best novels Childhood’s End is getting a miniseries treatment (6 hours worth) via Syfy with a staff featuring a highly efficient producers Michael De Luca and Akiva Goldsman, and a writer (Matthew Graham) and director (Nick Hurran) who both cut their teeth on Doctor Who and other British Television series.

The story is about an alien race coming to Earth and putting a stop to war, famine, pestilence, and all struggles that humans face, creating a virtual utopia on the planet…but for what reason?

I know how it all ends but I don’t want to ruin it for any of you, but I’ll be there on day one to watch this adaptation for sure.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
