DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
GETTING A TV SERIES ADAPTATION
Said to be in tone somewhere between Lessons in Chemistry and Openheimer, a TV series is being developed based on Wayne Biddle's historical book
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON! As Deadline reports, based on true accounts, along with additional source material from the book, the show will follow a rebellious MIT graduate who shatters glass ceilings to join NASA, where, under the mentorship of Wernher von Braun, mastermind of America’s space program, she becomes a rising star. But while navigating the roiling sexual, social and political landscape of the ’60s and the Cold War, her dream becomes a nightmare when she uncovers Von Braun’s dark past. If I tell you that the subtitle of the book is Wernher von Braun, the Third Reich and the Space Race, you will get the idea what the nightmare could be about. Daniel Pyne will be the showrunner.
