Children of Men: The TV Series?

One of the best movies of 2006 may become a television series as David Eick, writer-producer on the Battlestar Galactica is currently writing a pilot script for Children of Men.

“It’s really taking root more in the origins of the novels in that it will focus on the cultural movement in which young people become the society’s utter focus. Much like our culture, whenever Lindsay Lohan does something [and] it becomes the headline of every news show, it’s about how, when you don’t have a responsibility to the next generation and you’re free to do whatever you want, where do you draw the line?” Eick said in an interview with SciFi. “It’s not really a war show like the movie was. It’s more an exploration of that issue.”

I'm not sure if the concept will translate well to TV, as the cinematography and long, involved scenes were one reason the movie worked so well.
