Nat Geo announces projects with a roster of hard-hitting personalities such as Martin Scorsese, Katie Couric, Kathryn Bigelow, and global deal for Leonardo DiCaprio's climate change documentary.
Just two days after Harper Collins set a new Michael Crichton novel for 2017 release, National Geographic Channel announced that it is developing the book as a limited series.
Nat Geo is currently on a spending spree to lure top talent, and list popular names attacked to these new projects.
The Crichton series is an adaptation of Dragon Teeth, the late writer's third posthumous publication since he passed away 2008. It was discovered by his wife Sherri Crichton, who was described it as "pure Crichton," and follows a 1878 race in the American West between rival paleontologists on the hunt for dinosaur bones.
Amblin Television, Sony Pictures Television and CrichtonSun are attached to produce, with Graham Yost and Bruce C. McKenna on the script.
