Could a 1997 sci-fi film be heading towards a TV series remake? According to Variety, Denis Leary's production company Apostle Films has acquired the rights to Andrew Niccol's film Gattaca for a small-screen adaptation.

Although the trade paper did spell the film wrong ("Gattica") there are no listings for such a film, and it was described as a dramatic police procedural set in the future, which would fall in line with aspects of the film.

Gil Grant is writing the pilot, which is set up at Sony Television's international division.

Gattaca was released October 24th, 1997 and stars Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Gore Vidal, Xander Berkeley, Jayne Brook, Loren Dean, Maya Rudolph, Una Damon. The film is directed by Andrew Niccol.
