Syfy has announced that Ridley Scott is adapting Arthur C. Clarke's novel '3001
The '2001: A Space Odyssey' sequel will be adapted by screenwriter Stuart Beattie, who will also serve as executive producer alongside Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker, Slashfilm.com reported.
Scott, who has always been a fan of Clarke's extraordinary 'Odyssey' series and certainly Kubrick's adaptation of '2001,' said that he is thrilled to be part of bringing that legacy to audiences and continuing the great cinematic tradition that this story and its creators deserve.
The '3001: The Final Odyssey' miniseries is aiming for 2015.
