The Hollywood Reporter is, er, reporting that Robert Charles Wilson’s Hugo Award-winning science fiction thriller Spin is being adapted for television by Universal Cable Productions, who acquires the television rights. Producers attached to the project are Rob Morrow (best known for his acting roles in Northern Exposure and Quiz Show) and Olympus Pictures’ Leslie Urdang (Beginners, Rabbit Hole). No actors or network has been named as being attached to the project.
The story focuses on the lives of three childhood friends against the backdrop of the Earth being seemingly and inexplicably enclosed in an artificial barrier that blocks humans from seeing any stars besides the sun. NASA learns that time is traveling a billion times faster outside of the barrier and civilization on Earth will last another five years before the sun expands and consumes the planet.
