MUNICH: TANDEM Productions has signed up writer Jayson Rothwell to adapt best-selling author Ken Follett\u2019s Code to Zero<\/em> as an international event series.<\/p>\n

Rothwell will pen the screenplay for the 8×45-minute drama series, shifting the story line from the Cold War era of the 1950s to today\u2019s war against terror. Code to Zero<\/em> will be the third collaboration between Follett and TANDEM, following The Pillars of the Earth<\/em> and World Without End<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The series will be distributed by STUDIOCANAL.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very pleased to have TANDEM Productions adapting another of my books for television after the wonderful job they did with The Pillars of the Earth<\/em> and World Without End<\/em>,\u201d said best-selling author, Ken Follett. \u201cJayson Rothwell\u2019s modernization of\u00a0Code to Zero<\/em> makes my story even more relevant for our world as it is today, while at the same time protecting my characters and the essence of the story. I am certain that this series will resonate for audiences around the world and that my readers will love this adaptation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to have Jayson onboard,” added Tim Halkin, the managing director of TANDEM Productions. “Ken’s story has touched him in a very personal way and we see that in his work. Jayson has truly embraced the creative support from our team, Gina Marcheschi, TANDEM\u2019s executive VP of development, and our executive producer, Jim Gillespie, who had the idea to bring Ken Follett\u2019s wonderful book into the present day.”<\/p>\n
