ROBOT OVERLORDS Will Be Adapted as a TV Series
There’s a U.K. film that was released back in March called Robot Overlords. The film came from director Jon Wright (Grabbers), and it seems like it did well enough to get a TV series spin-off.
Wright made the announcement himself at the MCM London Comic Con and said, “This series will really expand the canvas of the robot occupation and we are aiming to make an explosive show that the UK will be very proud of.”
I haven’t seen the movie, but it had a great cast that included Gillian Anderson, Ben Kingsley, Callan McAuliffe, James Tarpey, and Ella Hunt.
These actors won’t be back for the series, it will center around a new ensemble cast, and it might be released under a different name. According to Tony Wood, who will be overseeing the project, we can expect something in the vein of Doctor Who and Quatermass.
There’s no word on when the U.S. will get to see the Robot Overlords movie, but I’m sure one day it will come, and when it does I’ll be around to watch it. Here’s the trailer!
