I must admit I was a huge, huge fan of Bong Joon-ho's 

''SnowPiercer'' I would even go as far to say it was one of 

my top 5 films of 2013, and now it is being adapted for 

television. 

According to our folks over at The Hollywood Reporter, 

Tomorrow Studios has optioned the rights to the film, and 

Josh Friedman is set to write the script.

The movie starred Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell 

and John Hurt and was based on ''le Transperceneige'' the 

1982 post-apocalyptic French graphic novel by 

Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette.  

"Snowpiercer" is set in a future where an environmental 

catastrophe has induced planet-wide ice age, forcing the last 

remnants of humanity onto a 1,000-car train that travels the 

globe. A rigid class system forces the lower classes into the 

end of the train while the elite enjoy the relative luxury of the 

front, leading to a violent revolution.
