"Steven Spielberg will re-team with Sci-Fi Channel and screenwriter Les Bohem for DreamWorks Television production of the new epic 12-hour miniseries event 'Nine Lives'.
The group's last collaboration, 2003's groundbreaking 'Steven Spielberg Presents TAKEN' won an Emmy for 'Outstanding Miniseries'
Sci Fi Channel Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Mark Stern, had this to say: ""Our last outing with Steven Spielberg, Les Bohem and DreamWorks was both a milestone for television and a turning point for SCI FI. We can't wait to work with this team to recapture that magic. Nine Lives is an event miniseries that deals with one of our most compelling universal themes - the afterlife.""
Les Bohem (The Alamo) will pen the entire series, as well as executive produce the film along with Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks Television Co-President's Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank.
""We're extremely excited about being back with our family at SCI FI with NINE LIVES. Les has done an amazing job at delivering on Steven's ideas and, as with TAKEN,"" he has crafted them into an incredibly entertaining narrative that benefits from the mutli-night format,"" said Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey.
Nine Lives is scheduled to air in 2007.
