I am – Hercules!!
“Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and “Angel” writer-producer Marti Noxon is working with producing partner Dawn Parouse Olmstead to bring Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s “The Strain” novels to the small screen.
The books are about a microorganism that either kills you or turns you into a vampire.
If memory serves, the novels evolved out of a proposed TV series that couldn’t find any takers. Perhaps del Toro hopes having a TV-vampire vet scripting will garner the project some small-screen traction.
Noxon and Parouse Olmstead’s other projects include “Gigantic,” a series about the teen children of celebrities coming early next year to the TEENick cable channel, and they are developing a series about a feminist pornographer for Diane Keaton and HBO.
