According to The Hollywood Reporter, FOX has ordered a pilot for a The Passage TV series, based on Justin Cronin’s best-selling vampire novels.
Reeves was first announced to direct a film version of The Passage in 2011, with Jason Keller redrafting a script by John Logan.
The pilot was written by Elizabeth Heldens (Friday Night Lights), Matt Reeves (War for the Planet of the Apes, Let Me In) attached to executive produce alongside Scott Free’s Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker.
The series, about an attempt to save the human race from a vampire plague, would potentially take place over the span of a century, with a young girl named Amy at the center.
