Variety reports that NBC is developing a new version of Jason and the Argonauts, and it will be “the first-ever green-screen drama developed for primetime.”
NBC previously adapted this Greek myth in 2000, in a mini-series starring Jason London, Frank Langella and Dennis Hopper.
Apparently there are also two big-screen projects in development right now called simply The Argonauts, one of which — mentioned here two months ago — is being written and produced by Zak Penn.
The most famous version of this story, of course, was produced for the big screen by stop-motion specialist Ray Harryhausen in 1963.
