Don Cheadle Developing YA Near-Future Horror Novel THE GETAWAY Into Series

Oscar-nominated actor Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash, The Wonder Years) has signed on to develop the YA novel The Getaway by Lamar Giles into a TV series at Sony Pictures Television.

The near-future horror contemplates what would happen if the world fell into chaos, and you and your family were stuck working at one of the world’s most famous resorts – with some of the world’s richest and most powerful as guests. Unknown to employees, the resort has been selling shares in an end-of-the-world oasis, to have the best of the best at the end of days. What they didn’t count on was a group of teens, and how far they’ll go to find out the truth and save themselves.

Cheadle will produce under his production banner The Radicle Act, along with his his producing partner Karyn Smith-Forge. Giles will produce as well.

This sounds like an interesting story! Do you think you’ll be checking this series out?
