Kevin Williamson, Scream writer and creator of “The Following”, has been busy setting up his next big series project, which will be an adaptation of Karl Alexander’s 1979 novel Time After Time. The novel follows H.G. Wells, who uses a time machine to pursue and Jack the Ripper. It’s not yet certain if this will be the basis of the series or if it will become an episodic show.
The book was adapted into a feature length film in 1979, which starred Malcolm McDowell (Halloween, Doomsday, A Clockwork Orange) and David Warner (The Omen, Time Bandits). A trailer for that film can be seen below.
Williamson is writing the script and will executively produce the show.
