The project marks the first undertaking for Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, who set up their own banner called Unique Features earlier this month after exiting New Line when the ailing studio was absorbed by its bigger corporate sibling Warner Bros.

One of the best series in science fiction (well, at least until Second Foundation) reaches the big screen. This could be monumental - or a monumental failure.
