Deadline is reporting that Amazon Studios is teaming with Circle of Confusion TV Studios for a small screen adaptation of Mike Oeming and Dan Berman’s Image Comics title Six.
Entitled Thirteen, the series is being written by Stefan Jaworski (Those Who Kill) and directed by Michael Dinner (Justified), and is described as “a sci-fi thriller about a cold-blooded alien agent who comes to Earth to track down and bring back 12 alien defectors. As a result of her actions, she starts to experience the same thing that infected the others – human emotion. Feeling joy, anger, love and hate for the first time in her life, she decides to stay on Earth to find the truth the twelve were seeking, before her own emotional awakening transforms and ultimately destroys her.”
“Thirteen exemplifies the quality of character-driven genre series that we’re currently developing,” said Russ Buchholz, Executive Vice President, Head of Creative Affairs, Circle of Confusion Television Studios .”Stefan’s compelling vision captivated us from the start. We couldn’t be more excited to announce Amazon Studios as our production partner and to be working with such incredible talents behind the camera.”
Six was originally published by Image Comics back in October 2004. Creators Oeming and Berman will serve as executive producers on the TV adaptation alongside Jaworski and Dinner.
