Deadline reports that Stephen King's short story The Jaunt – which was originally published in The Twilight Zone Magazine – will be developed into a new television series by Fear the Walking Dead co-creator Dave Erickson for MRC Television.
Here's the official synopsis:
The story takes place early in the 24th century, when the technology for teleportation, referred to as “Jaunting”, is commonplace, allowing for instantaneous transportation across enormous distances, even to other planets in the solar system. The key is that travelers must be under anesthesia for the short journey, or terrible things happen to the mind of those being jaunted around the solar system. Time stands still and one’s brain implodes with too much time to think in an absence of external stimulation. Bad things happen.
Meanwhile, no official start or release date as of yet, but we'll keep you posted!
