I have often proclaimed my love for Paul W.S. Anderson ’s 1997 sci - fi horror film Event Horizon , about a deep - space watercraft that goes to a very bad dimension and returns with thinker - warping powers , and features Laurence Fishburne bark the immortal blood “ Fuck this ship ! ” A TV serial might take place , you say ? Fuck YES !
Amazon and Paramount Television are working on developing the possible series , grant to Variety , which reports that Adam Wingard is aboard as executive manufacturer and theatre director . Wingard is kind of the perfect option , since his filmography includes sci - fi ( Godzilla vs. Kong , coming next March ) but skew heavy toward horror ( he also made The Guest , You ’re Next , Death Note , and theBlair Witch reboot ) .
As Hollywood fable tells it , the 1997 Event Horizon ( which also starsSam Neill , Kathleen Quinlan , Jason Isaacs , and Joely Richardson ; it was script by Philip Eisner ) fall dupe tosome brutal redaction - room cutsthat made the end resultant lack a sure cohesiveness — a quality that ’s help make the film a cult classic today .

A TV serial could surely fill in some of the plot holes … black holes , if you will … while also hollow deeper into the tarradiddle ’s extensive repulsion elements . And if Event Horizon gets put to series , Amazon will be one footstep closer to becoming a sci - fi human dynamo , especially consideringits dedication to The Expanse .
Just , if an Event Horizon series gets made , please have it bebetter than Nightflyers . We ’ll bring you more on this one as we jazz it .
