Damon Lindelof Heads to HBO to Adapt Tom Perotta's Rapture-y 'The Leftovers'

After Prometheus, Damon Lindelof will work for television from a new deal with Warner Bros, which will develop a series based on the novel "The Leftovers" for HBO. A proposal that focuses on "The Rapture", that Christian religious interpretation of some sectors that has led them to anticipate, and even predict, the doomsday scenario known as the rapture of the Church, where the living righteous are rescued by God and sinners are doomed to eternity in limbo so hellish day. Or something like that.

Lindelof co-write the pilot with Perrotta and if HBO decides to greenlight the project, will be showrunner. A scenario quite interesting, despite my growing apprehensions to the producer of Lost, and in fact I wanted to read the novel that is just over $ 13 hardcover version on [url=http://www.amazon.com/The-Leftovers-Tom-Perrotta/dp/0312363559/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1340951171&sr=1-1&keywords=The%20Leftovers%20by%20Tom%20Perrotta&tag=vglnk-c498-20]Amazon[/url]. source from [url=http://www.imdb.com/news/ni31069806/]IMDb[/url]...
