Warner Bros. is looking to adapt Tad Williams' OTHERLAND for the big screen - its four installments are entitled "City of Golden Shadow," "River of Blue Fire," " Mountain of Black Glass," and "Sea of Silver Light" respectively.
Dan Lin (TERMINATOR SALVATION, THE INVENTION OF LYING, SHERLOCK HOLMES) will produce from a script by John Scott III.
THIS piece in Variety describes the project thusly...
Story for the adaptation is set 100 years in the future and follows a group of unexpected heroes who must escape an assassin and make their way through epic digital worlds to unravel a conspiracy that threatens to destroy humanity
When I first saw the word "Otherland" in Variety's headline, I imagined the wrong words and knee-jerked with glee, delighted that someone out there was either dorky enough or insane enough to reboot CBS' long ago defunct series "OtherWORLD..."
I know, I know. I'm easily confused and my Geekiness is sloppier and more obscure than many folks. What can I say?
