Spielberg To Produce Another Mini-Series for Sci-Fi Channel

From Reuters:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Director Steven Spielberg (news) and cable's Sci Fi Channel on Tuesday said they would create a miniseries trilogy to air in 2005, extending a tie-up between the two sides that produced an Emmy Award.

Sci Fi said "Nine Lives" would be written by Les Bohem and executive produced by him, Spielberg and DreamWorks Television. Bohem also wrote and produced "Taken," the 20-hour miniseries that aired over two weeks and won an Emmy for outstanding miniseries.


Sci Fi did not offer any details on "Nine Lives," other than to say it was "an epic story of love, death and beyond." It also said the three installments in the televised project would cover stories were "related but distinct."

Sci Fi did not offer any details on "Nine Lives," other than to say it was "an epic story of love, death and beyond but has nothing to do with science fiction but it wouldn't matter since it'll be prefaced with the words "Steven Spielberg Presents"." It also said the three installments in the televised project would cover stories were "related but distinct."

Although Spielberg will not be present during pre-production, filming, post-production, or the publicity blitz, Sci Fi stated that the series will still have his unmistakable mark. It also said the three installments in the televised project would cover stories were "related but distinct."

Sci Fi did not offer any details on "Nine Lives," other than to say it was "an epic story of love, death and beyond" and would probably just be another rehash of one of Spielberg's earlier projects that was far edgier and more interesting the first time around. It also said the three installments in the televised project would cover stories were "related but distinct."
