Babylon 5's Straczynski To Write Mars Trilogy Scripts

I guess FX has snagged Michael Straczynski to adapt Kim Stanley Robinson's excellent Mars Trilogy for TV. Wow, real science fiction on television ? Can you do that ? I figured it must be against the law.

Good for JMS, and this sounds nice. Genre book adaptations are doing well on cable right now, so hopefully this will be good and that people will actually watch it.

I read this trilogy years ago and really enjoyed it. I think it will be right up JMS's alley.

Great maker! This sounds promising.
