The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Scyfy is developing Charles Soule’s Letter 44
for TV.
We had previously announced that Letter 44 was being developed, but more news came out today.
Meanwhile, the network is developing Oni’s Letter 44 as a series. The drama is based on Charles Soule’s ongoing monthly series that launched in October. Terminator 3’s Jonathan Mostow will pen the script, exec produce and direct the pilot, should it move ahead. The story revolves around Stephen Blades, the new president of the U.S. who learns, via a letter from his predecessor, that seven years earlier, NASA discovered an alien construction project in the asteroid belt. A crew of heroic astronauts was sent to investigate and they’re nearing the conclusion of their epic journey.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’s Eric Gitter and Peter Schwerin (The Flock) will exec produce via their Closed on Mondays banner. Terra Nova alum Rene Echevarria is also on board to exec produce the Universal Television and Universal Cable Productions co-production.
A formal announcement on both projects is expected to come during Syfy’s upfront presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers on April 30.
Copies of Letter 44 #1 can still be found in the $5 range on eBay. Not bad since the book is sold out, and was a $1 book.

That’s great news.
I expect the rest of the $1 #1 at one local shop to go missing now.
I loaded up on the variants for this one, been holding onto them for the right time. 🙂
@drewbentley…same here…I picked several B&W preview editions. Two are those are now CGC SS graded @ 9.8.
Also got about $20-$25 worth of the regular cover when it was 50 cents on DCBS. I figured if it didn’t jump too much in value it would at least be worth cover.
