A TV spin-off of Children of Men is being planned by David Eick, of Battlestar Galactica fame and also the recent remake of The Bionic Woman (with yer wan from Eastenders - which surely means it's shit!).
With Terminator and Blade spin-offs hitting screens in recent years, this sort of thing seems all the rage. Eick has pedigree (admittedly we haven't seen The Bionic Woman) in sci-fi but hopefully he'll remain true to the realism of the movie, which is barely sci-fi at all. A gripe: Why is everything that happens to be set in the future referred to as sci-fi? Possible answer: Future-fiction is a mouthful and anyone who says fu-fi should be beaten to death with their own shoes.
