![]() While Martin is on an exclusive contract with HBO and can't contribute writing (he will be credited as an executive producer), this TV series is intended to follow his original novella closer than the movie. Jaffe is now a producer on the TV show-which will be Syfy's most expensive original series of all time-with Netflix acting as a co-producer. The movie, directed by Robert Collector, came out in 1987. Jaffe wrote the screenplay for a film version of Nightflyers, which he also helped produce. Martin sold the Nightflyers film and TV rights to writer and producer Robert Jaffe in 1984. It's been a long, strange path for the novella to reach television. For proof, just look at The Winds of Winter, the long-in-coming sixth volume of his Song of Ice and Fire series. But the crew members on their ship, the Nightflyer, start to mysteriously die one by one. Martin's novella, which the author has described as "Psycho in space."Īnd that's certainly a fitting description for Nightflyers, which is based on Martin's 1980 sci-fi horror book that follows eight scientists and a telepath on a mission to contact alien life in the far reaches of the solar system. On Thursday night at Comic-Con, SYFY network shared the first full trailer for Nightflyers, the new series based on George R.R. ![]()
