Adaptation of the novel by Ian Beck (2009)
Writers: Emmanuel Oberg and John McKay
Producer: Paul Brooks for Gold Circle Films
Genre: Sci-Fi / Action / Adventure
Status: in development (revised 3rd draft)
Logline: What if all of London were really an amusement park – a whole city returned to Victorian times to entertain visitors from the twenty-first century? That’s the wildly original premise of Ian Beck’s Pastworld, a high-stakes mystery set in a simulated past.
Very excited to discover this by chance on one of my internet ‘rummagings’. Do let me know how you are getting on with it if you would like. Fully understand if you don’t.
Best Ian
Thank you for taking the time to stop by! It’s very early days, but we’re really enjoying playing with this fantastic concept. As always with an adaptation, the trick is to find a way to make it work on screen without losing the essence of the original work. Unfortunately we can’t really discuss the details of the process, but we’ll post news here whenever we’re allowed to…
All the best,
Emmanuel
