Howard and Akiva Goldsman planned a series of epic films as well as a concurrent television series. The seven-book saga has been in development for a while. But when Universal's first-right-of-refusal was about to expire, they closed up shop, worried that the expenses and risks would be too great. Talk about a lack of vision!
The good news is that Howard's Imagine Entertainment retains the rights and is now free to shop the project elsewhere. Here's hoping a studio like Warner Brothers, whose had some small success marketing franchises with Harry Potter and The Dark Knight will swoop in and see the colossal potential here. But they'd better move fast, before Howard shifts gears and takes on Rush, his project about Formula 1 racing in the seventies.
