Spielberg returns to TV

SteveSpielberg.jpgNo I don't mean more Taken, but it looks like Steven Spielberg is to return some attention to the small screen and create a new mini-series with the Sci-Fi Channel.

According to Reuters through Cinematical:

...a 12-episode miniseries called Nine Lives, and it sounds extremely disturbing. In the series, grieving people who have lost loved ones apparently pursue "near-death experiences" in a quest to be reunited with the dead, if only briefly.

Wooo, it does sound spooky. There was a book I read recently (that my mate Dave has never returned!) which was called Passage or something similar about a Doctor continually inducing near death to see what happened. Spooky, odd and a very good tale. However, I think that Spielberg might beat that tale somewhat(!), and I do welcome his return to the small screen as much as I do his results on the big screen. Did you like Taken? Is this a welcome return for you?

I liked it when it was a movie called Flatliners with Julia and Keifer.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Kevin Bacon all the way.
