Skydance Television Developing FASTER THAN LIGHT Adaptation

Skydance Television today announced that it will develop Faster Than Light, the best-selling augmented reality comic series that tells the story of humanity's first thrilling and terrifying adventures to the stars, set in the present day. The story is by Brian Haberlin and artwork is by Haberlin and Geirrod Vandyke.

In the very near future, we discover the secret of faster-than-light travel. Suddenly the universe is wide open to us, but are we ready for it? Each issue of Faster Than Light features Anomaly's cutting-edge augmented reality app, which allows readers to turn the pages of their comic book into realistic 3D animations. It is published by Image Comics, Shadowline and received two Unity Vision Award nominations for best Augmented Reality. Volumes #6 and #7 will be released on May 11, 2016 and June 8, 2016, respectively.

"The exhilarating sci-fi universe that Brian Haberlin has created in Faster Than Light features a living, breathing narrative that we believe is very well suited for television audiences and is precisely the kind of big, bold story we love to tell at Skydance," said Marcy Ross, President of Skydance Television.

"I'm incredibly excited to be working with a creative group as innovative and imaginative as the team at Skydance Television," added Haberlin. "They have already done such great things and I know they've only just begun to scratch the surface ... I can't wait to dive in with them on Faster Than Light!"
