Paramount
A television series version of the 1997 sci-fi horror film "Event Horizon" is in development at Amazon.
The streamer is teaming up with Paramount Television to adapt the Paul W.S. Anderson movie into a series.
The original was set in 2047 and followed a crew of astronauts investigating the reappearance of the titular spaceship. The crew learns the ship had an experimental engine that opened a rift in the space time continuum and brought hellish horrors home with it.

"Event Horizon" joins a number of major projects in the works at Amazon, including "Lord of the Rings,""Jack Reacher," and "Wheel of Time."
