Back in April it was revealed that Paramount Television was working on a small screen take on the cult sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest, and now Deadline is reporting that Amazon has picked up the project for development.
The TV adaptation is being penned by feature screenwriter Robert Gordon, director Dean Parisot and producer Mark Johnson, who will all executive produce. As yet, the concept is being worked out, therefore casting is yet to get underway.
Released in 1999, Galaxy Quest was a send up of the Star Trek TV series, and starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Mitchell, Enrico Colantoni and Justin Long.
