Syfy To Adapt Stephen King Story Into A Series
By Kelly West: 2009-11-30 17:01:03
Syfy announced today that the network is teaming up with E1 Entertainment to bring Stephen King’s novella “The Colorado Kid” to life on the small screen with a new TV series titled Haven.
“The Colorado Kid” follows the investigation of a body that’s found on a small island off the coast of Maine. The series will follow the town of Haven, where supernatural abilities seem to be plentiful among the generations of residents who’ve lived there. Audrey Parker is an FBI agent who’s called to Haven to investigate a murder and finds that there are much deeper mysteries within the town itself. According to Syfy’s announcement, "Each week, as the town-peoples’ dormant powers begin to express themselves, Audrey will try to keep these supernatural forces at bay while unraveling the many mysteries of Haven – including one surrounding her own surprising past in this extraordinary place.” I haven’t read “The Colorado Kid” but it sounds as though Syfy and E1 Entertainment have found a way to stretch the story into a full-on small-screen series. Syfy has picked up 13 episodes of Haven, which is being run by Scott Shepherd (Tru Calling, The Dead Zone), and exec-produced by Lloyd Segan and Shawn Piller (The Dead Zone, Wildfire, Greek). The pilot was written by Sam Ernst (Shrek the Third, The Dead Zone) and Jim Dunn (Shrek the Third, The Dead Zone). Of the project, Mark Stern, Executive Vice President, Original Content for Syfy stated the following: “Haven is the quintessential Stephen King town, full of complex, yet identifiable, characters and compelling supernatural situations. Sam and Jim wrote a great pilot, and we can’t wait to see Scott, Lloyd, and Shawn join them in bringing this town to life as a series. We also couldn’t be more excited to partner with our international Syfy channels and be in business with E1 who will definitely deliver the high-quality production value we expect.”
