    “Waterworld” TV Series in the Works from Dan Trachtenberg

    This is absolutely not the post apocalyptic news we expected to report on today, but apparently a tv series based on Universal’s “Waterworld” is happening. The original film imagined Earth after the polar ice caps had melted and the sea level rose to such heights that the oceans became the surface of the planet.

    Humans obviously had to adapt with mutations including gills, as displayed by Kevin Costner‘s lead character.

    It would appear that Dan Trachtenberg (“10 Cloverfield Lane,” “The Boys“) has been tapped to direct the series for Universal Television, so says original producer John Davis.

    “We’re going to do the streaming version of that movie, the continuation of that movie, 20 years later. All those people [from the original film], 20 years later,” Davis told Collider.

    Davis’ producing partner John Fox did admit that “we’re not 100% sure on the approach to the show. But definitely, we’re in the building stages right now.”

    This could mean “Waterworld” the tv series finds a home at Universal’s streaming service, Peacock.

    Obviously this is still in the very early stages, so we’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
