It will be produced by London production company Hardy Son &amp; Baker, with whom NBCUniversal International Studios has a first-look deal.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. book rights have been acquired by Quercus, which is set to publish <em>Pendulum<\/em> in North America in June 2017. <em>Pendulum<\/em> was acquired by Headline as the first in a trilogy of books. Headline will publish <em>Pendulum<\/em> in the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand in November.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, NBCUniversal International Studios optioned the rights for <em>Trees<\/em>, a science-fiction graphic-novel series by award-winning comic book writer and <em>New York Times<\/em> best-selling author Warren Ellis and illustrator Jason Howard. The comics will be adapted for screen by Hardy Son &amp; Baker.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Coan, the senior VP of scripted programming at NBCUniversal International Studios, commented: \u201cWarren is one of the top names in comics and a best-selling author who has a terrifically subversive perspective on story. It\u2019s that unique sensibility that sits at the heart of <em>Trees<\/em>, where he has turned the alien invasion genre on its ear. In addition to being inventive, <em>Trees<\/em> is simultaneously epic and intimate; a combination that lends itself very well to international television.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: NBCUniversal International Studios is developing the crime thriller Pendulum, from author and screenwriter Adam Hamdy, for television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":6708,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1337,1338],"class_list":["post-6707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-nbcuniversal-international-studios","tag-pendulum","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
