Fantasy titan Guillermo del Toro is coming to Television! The FX Network has cut a deal to adapt del Toro's novel
The Strain about a vampire virus that infects New York and the CDC doctor who leads the investigation.
The Strain (co-written with Chuck Hogan) has two sequels,
The Fall and
The Night Eternal, as well as an ongoing comic book adaptation.
The Strain will be overseen by
Lost vet Carlton Cuse, with del Toro directing the pilot.
Portents of doom are already manifesting in New York as exemplified by the public battle waged by Sir Patrick Stewart in his futile battle to get cable installed in his new Park Slope Brooklyn digs. Jean Luc took to Twitter to vent his frustration: "All I wanted to do was set up a new account (with Time Warner Cable) but 36 hrs later I've lost the will to live." Once his angst went viral, Time Warner attempted to help. "If that question had been asked at any time in the last 36 hours it would have been of value. But now...," was Stewart's "make it not" reply. So Sir Stew opted for Dish. "You're gonna miss out on
The Walking Dead, Picard!"
