Stalker: The TV Series (2016)


Actually it's Roadside Picnic (2016) based on the book.

In 2008 there were news about a movie starring Travolta, but that has disappeared completely. So now it's going to be a TV series or at least a pilot.

Explores a near-future world where aliens have come and gone, leaving humankind to explore the wondrous and dangerous mysteries left behind. The story also explores the societal ramifications of their visit, as seen through the eyes of Red, a veteran “stalker” who has made it his life to illegally venture into the once inhabited zone and scavenge the abandoned remains of the alien culture. Based on the novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

I would actually be excited about this if it wasn't associated with WGN.

Heh. If anything, a blending of Roadside Picnic (which focuses more on the support apparatus and community around a Zone) and Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro 2033/2034 (more of a journey) would be nice.
