0:00This is your entertainment update for March 21st. Fans of Pierce Brown's Red Rising series have followed Darryl's epic journey from a Martian minor to challenging the elite gold since the first book, dropped in 2014. The saga now spans six novels, with the seventh on the way, captivating millions with his brutal world building and high stakes rebellion. Back in 2018, the books were option for a TV adaptation, with Apple TV in the mix and a hefty budget of 120 million. Dallas lined up to bring the story to life. Unfortunately, author Pierce Brown just confirmed the project is dead. After years in development hell, the studio couldn't nail down a script they felt good about, a fate that hits many book to screen dreams. Fans are disappointed, but not shocked. Knowing Hollywood shells promising ideas all the time, much like what happened with other fantasy hits. The silver lining is a new live action project in the works, though it's not a series. Brown hints it could be a movie or something else.
