Peter Hoar, the Emmy nominated director who helped shape the cinematic television adaptation of The Last of Us, is setting his sights on a major sci-fi revival. According to IGN South Africa, Hoar is working on a brand new reboot of the classic BBC series Blake's 7. For players and viewers who appreciate gritty, morally complex storytelling on screen, this is definitely one to keep on the radar.
To bring this ambitious project to life, Hoar has launched a new production company called Multitude Productions alongside West End producer Jason Haigh-Ellery. While original television reboots can sometimes trigger healthy skepticism, having creative talent with pedigree in translating beloved interactive and narrative worlds to prestige television gives this project serious weight.
Projects like this often end up influencing the broader sci-fi aesthetic across streaming, television, and eventually interactive gaming spaces. As cross-platform players and digital natives consume entertainment across multiple screens, the cross-pollination between high-end prestige television and gaming sensibilities continues to tighten. We will be watching to see how this classic space opera translates for a modern audience raised on cinematic narratives.
