Ridley Scott is Producing a Followup to "2001: A Space Odyssey"

There was a Time When the Name Ridley Scott had Film - and especially SciFi - Fans Salivating at the Mouth. Unfortunately, after Gladiator, it's been Mostly Downhill, with Prometheus Leaving a Particularly Sour Taste (Even that I Liked it). That's Why you're Entitled to be More Wary than Excited at the News that, the Blade Runner Director has Signed Up to Produce a SyFy Channel Miniseries of Arthur C. Clarke's 3001: The Final Odyssey. If you're Unfamiliar with the 1997 Sequel to 2001, 2010 and 2061, the Novel Concerns Frank Poole - the Astronaut HAL Sets Adrift in 2001 - Floating in Space. Once Revived and Returned to Earth in the Future, he Finds a Land Where the Monoliths Now Pose a Threat to Mankind's Continued Existence. We Would Tell you More but, that'd Defeat the Point of them Making the TV Version, Wouldn't it.
