MGM Domestic Television Distribution has acquired an option to develop the Factory Publishing property "The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore" as a TV series."MGM is a great place for The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore," said Howard Webster, creator, producer and director of the project for Factory Publishing in association with Triumph Motorcycles.
"There has never been a black British action hero before and what appealed to me was that MGM understood this from the outset. Jonas Moore is sophisticated, educated, tough and uber-cool. He represents the next generation of intelligent action heroes of international sci-fi drama."
Ruth Vitale of The Film Collective brought the project to MGM and is attached as Executive Producer to the project.
"The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore" is a trilogy of second-generation online graphic novels, specifically designed for iPod and PC download.
"...The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore is set in a time where the British Empire has never ended and America is just one of thousands of virtual worlds hosted on a vast global game network. When Jonas Moore (portrayed online by British film and TV star Colin Salmon -- Resident Evil, Die Another Day, Prime Suspect and the upcoming Punisher: War Zone, and Blood: The Last Vampire), a character personally created by the network's founder, becomes self-aware he is tagged by the network as a virus and goes on the run. As he moves from one artificial game world to the next, his knowledge of the games and the real-world gamers spreads like a virus to the other game characters, freaks, creatures and monsters who live as slaves within the network - precipitating a revolution and fight for freedom against the murderously addicted real-world gamers. Worlds Apart lead singer Steve Hart wrote the score for the production and also stars in the online version..."
