CHRIS EVANS' 'SNOWPIERCER'
TO BECOME TV SERIES Now, I don't know if you remember, but your spy was one of the first
ones to love and write about Chris Evans' sf movie SNOWPIERCER which
also starred Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt and
Edd Harris. Now 'The Hollywood Reporter' reveals that it will be turned
into a TV series by the studio known for Tim Allen's LAST MAN STANDING,
with AVATAR 2's Josh Friedman penning the script. The story is set years
after a global Ice Age decimated the planet, with the survivors living
in a constantly moving train known as Snowpiercer which has its wagons
divided into social classes. Some privileged, some sorely unprivileged.
