Yes, but I'm not convinced it's going to be any good.  Morgan himself said he'd rather no-one actually do it, just that he would continue to get paid for the rights.   :why_so_serious:

Will be interesting to see what Actors they cast for Takeshi.  They'll need at least 3.

Well at least it is Netflix giving it a try. There is some hope there.

I think it's doable. There's nothing about it that requires really, really expensive FX, for example.

I have a feeling this will be "based on" the books more than following them.

I hope they don't Shannara it.

I couldn't get into Daredevil and don't care about Jessica Jones, but there's absolutely no question that every show Netflix produces will be stellar for the audience its catering to.

I'll watch this. Might give me a reason to reread them. Has he done any more sci-fi stuff? I couldn't get into his fantasy book(s?).

Yes, but nothing so good as Takeshi (e.g. Black Man).
