Bryan Fuller, čije su serije definicija prerano otkazanih serija, sklopio je ugovor sa SyFyem za adaptaciju znanstveno fantastičnog romana romana The Lotus Caves, objavljenog 1969. godine. Barem ako je vjerovati Michaelu Ausiellu i njegovim izvorima.
Za Lotus Caves Wikipedia veli da se vrti oko dvojice dječaka koji žive na mjesečevoj koloniji. Radnja se odvija 2068. godine, a kolonisti žive unutar “Mjehura”, velike kupole koja omogućava život na Mjesecu. Dvojac se odvažuje proviriti van kupole gdje pronalaze vanzemaljski život u spiljama iz naslova.
Fuller je lani navodno sklopio partnerstvo sa NBC-jem i Bryanom Singerom, za još jednu adaptaciju SF romana, Sellevision, Augustena Burroughsa. Nažalost, do danas nismo primjetili nikakve informacije o napretku projekta.
NBC ili SyFy, sasvim je nebitno, ako se jedan od najgenijalnijih televizijskih umova posljednih godina vrati na televiziju. Prošla je tek godina dana od kraja njegove posljednje serije, Pushing Daisies, iako se ne čini tako…
Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me i Pushing Daisies redom su prerano otkazivani, a radilo se o fantastičnim i vedrim dramedijama. Radio je i na prvoj sezoni Heroesa, poznatiju kao “ona koja je šutala dupad do finala.” Krajem treće sezone. vratio se Heroesima, da bi vrlo brzo ponovo napustio produkciju kako bi se posvetio gorespomenutom pilotu koji je razvijao za NBC.
