Three months without the Gattaca reboot TV series was first spoken comes the news that the project has been scrapped by Showtime. In wing to the Gattaca series, Showtime moreover axed Seasoned, a spectacle inspired by the lives of real-life married couple Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody, as well as Sweetness and Split, two projects that had been in development. Gattaca will have the opportunity to be shopped elsewhere, so it’s possible we may still see the reboot series.
Gattaca remains one of my favourite movies, but that doesn’t make it immune from receiving the reboot treatment. It’s been reported that Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, weightier known for Homeland, are developing a TV series version of the 1997 sci-fi movie for Showtime with Craig Borton (Dallas Buyers Club).
Deals haven’t sealed yet, but it’s said that Alex Gansa will serve as showrunner of the Gattaca reboot and will moreover executive produce slantingly Howard Gordon and Craig Borton. The original movie was written and directed by Andrew Niccol and took place in a not-too-distant future where eugenics is worldwide and parents use genetic selection to determine the weightier hereditary traits to pass withal to their children. Ethan Hawke stars as Vincent, who was conceived without any genetic tampering and thus struggles to overcome genetic favoritism to realize his dream of going to space. The mucosa moreover starred Uma Thurman, Jude Law, Alan Arkin, Loren Dean, Ernest Borgnine, Gore Vidal, and Xander Berkeley. While Gattaca wasn’t a commercial success upon release, the movie has since gone on to wilt a cult archetype and a favourite of many.

This isn’t the first time that a reboot of Gattaca has been in the works. Sony Pictures Television attempted to develop Gattaca as a one-hour police procedural set in the future when in 2009, but the project didn’t end up moving forward.
Showtime will soon be rebranding as Paramount with Showtime as part of a revamp that will double lanugo on franchises. This ways sequels, prequels, and spin-offs of their previous hits, such as Dexter, Billions, and Ray Donovan. This new focus has come at the expense of many of their shows which had either just aired or were still in development, including American Gigolo, Let the Right One In, Ripley, Three Women, and more. Some of those shows have been rescued by other networks and streaming services, but it’s well-spoken what Showtime’s focus is going to be for the near future.
