FOX is looking to branch out beyond Gotham, with Deadline revealing that Warner Bros. Television has been given a pilot production commitment from the network for an adaptation of Warren Ellis’ sci-fi series Global Frequency, which was published through DC’s Wildstorm imprint. The pilot will be written by Rockne S. O’Bannon, creator of Farscape and Defiance, who will produce alongside Ellis and Jerry Bruckheimer.
The twelve-issue miniseries was published between 2002 and 2004, and the show will “chronicle the workings of The Global Frequency, a privately funded crime-fighting operation that uses worldwide crowd-sourcing to solve crimes the police cannot.”
This isn’t the first time that Warner Bros. Television has attempted a small screen adaptation of Global Frequency, with The WB producing an unaired pilot in 2005 which starred Michelle Forbes, Josh Hopkins, Aimee Garcia and Jenni Baird.
