Press Release from Syfy
New York, New York – August 12, 2010 – Syfy today announced it has commissioned a scripted pilot from Bryan Fuller, creator of Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies.
The show will be based upon the popular book The Lotus Caves by John Christopher, about colonists who rebel against the rigidity of their lunar colony by exploring beyond its proscribed boundaries and discovering a series of caves ruled by a super-intelligent, alien species.
Jim Grey (In Plain Sight, Pushing Daisies) will co-write the script with Fuller.
Syfy recently announced a rich development slate of seven scripted projects featuring television icons Lee Majors and Kevin Sorbo; the Sanctuary creative team of Damian Kindler, Martin Wood and Amanda Tapping; a swashbuckling space opera and alien version of “The Office” from Universal Cable Productions, and a single camera ½ hour about fighting Zombies and a dramedy fighting supernatural villains.

With year round acclaimed original series, events, blockbuster movies, classic science fiction and fantasy programming, a dynamic Web site (www.Syfy.com [1]), and a portfolio of adjacent business (Syfy Ventures), Syfy is a passport to limitless possibilities.
