Admin2KApr-18-2013 3:49 PMAMC is developing a new show called "Ballistic City". It's a futuristic sci-fi drama from director Joseph Kosinski (TRON: Legacy). As well as helming the first episode, he will executive produce the series alongside writer Travis Beacham (Pacific Rim).
According to the site, "Ballistic City is described as "Blade Runner meets Battlestar Galactica" and tells the story of a former cop thrust into the criminal underworld of a city housed in a generational space ship destined for an unknown world."
The project is eyed as a potential companion to AMC’s genre blockbuster "The Walking Dead".

MemberNoobApr-19-2013 10:57 AM[center][/center]I definitely like Joseph ...so far, so good. A generational space-ship ...may be a bit like the Canadian-series [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlost]"The Starlost"[/url] from the 1970s, as well.
Thanks Svanya. ^_^

Admin2KApr-19-2013 10:59 PM@Sawa; Nice observation! I never saw that show but it does look like BS Galactica (which already did remind me of BR because of the human Cylons which were basically Replicants.)
Speaking of Blade Runner and Canadian productions, have you ever seen this show? [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Recall_2070]Total Recall 2070[/url]. It was based on the P.K Dick novel. I really liked it.

Thanks for the recommendation Svanya, as I've only seen the "Total Recall" movies. ^_^
