Gattaca, the 1997 sci-fi thriller we all liked a lot but ultimately have to admit wasn’t really that amazing, is getting a series.
According to Variety, Showtime will answer whether having then-hot, young, charismatic leads Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law was largely what made Gattaca feel so fresh and cool by making a new TV show based on the cult film about a society driven by eugenics.
Sony Pictures Television is developing the project, having previously tried a spinoff with a 2009 Gattaca police procedural. But at least now we’ll know if getting maybe, like, Robert Pattinson, Mia Goth, and a Skarsgård will also trick us into thinking this pretty basic thing is slicker than it is.
