A Waterworld TV Show Is in the Works

Waterworld may finally be able to get the sequel that it has been longing for. Collider has learned that a streaming TV program that would take on the 1995 Kevin Costner film, is in development. This show would continue the story 20 years later. Dan Trachtenberg, 10 Cloverfield Lane director and The Boys director, is said to be attached to direct.AdvertisementWe weren't 100% certain about the direction of the show. John Fox, who is also producing the series, stated that they are in the construction stages. Davis directed the film Kevin Reynolds' original, which cost $180million in 1995. It was the most expensive movie of all time, but it only grossed $80 million domestically.Universal Television is currently setting up the show. Fox and Davis have not confirmed if a streamer is in place. Trachtenberg is the only one attached, but other people are being considered. We have attached Dans, and are currently breaking the story. Fox stated that we should have a writer in place within the next few weeks.Waterworld is a story about a future in which the polar ice cap melts, thereby transforming the Earth into water. Costner plays the Mariner, a half-fish and half-human character who reluctantly joins forces with Tina Majorino and Jeannie Tripplehorn to find a way to dry land. This map is something that every person on the planet would like. Although the film was a disaster upon its release, it has maintained a certain cult status. This is in part due to its continued presence at Universal Studios Hollywood and Tina Majorino as children.This version would preserve the movie's canon and continue the story later. Davis stated that we would stream the movie as a continuation of the movie. Twenty years later. All these people, twenty years later. The film ends with Costner as the Mariner returning to the water and the heroes finding dry ground. A cameo would be great. If this show gets off the ground, that is.How interested are you in a Waterworld streaming program? Tell us below.Are you curious about where our RSS feed went. The new one can be found here.
