The original novel of The Last Ship, which dealt with “the last ship” after a nuclear war, was released some 25 years ago. I read somewhere that years ago director Steven Soderbergh was attached that story into a film, but for whatever reason that never came to be.
This new version, which deals with a global pandemic, is set to debut on TNT sometime in 2014.
This, along with the series Helix, should make for some interesting TV.
