Amazon Earns Rights to Live-Action Adaptation of Remender’s, FEAR AGENT
January 23, 2020As the result of a bidding war among numerous streaming and television platforms, Amazon has landed the rights to the live-action adaptation of Fear Agent, which will serve as a series, per showrunners Seth Rogen, Matt Tolmach and David F. Sandberg.
The show will model itself after the critically-acclaimed science fiction pulp-odyssey, centered on the lone-remaining Fear Agent, Heath Houston. The group was once heralded throughout the universe as the driving force behind stopping an attack by three-different invading alien races, standing as the testament of strength and human spirit. Now, Houston drunkenly navigates the galaxy as an alien exterminator, versus robots, ape-men, jellyfish brains and many other races bent on intergalactic domination!
The series, which ran from 2005-12, from creators Rick Remender and Tony Moore, who will both also serve as executive producers, combines science fiction, horror and war, three sequential sci-fi elements in graphic novel storytelling.
This latest project will continue a trend by both Rogen and Co. in scooping up and adapting indie graphic novels, having already done so for Preacher and Future Man. This will also mark the second at Amazon‘s Prime Video streaming service, with The Boys, gearing up for its second season premiere in mid-2020.
