Syfy, Bradley Cooper, and Todd Phillips Team Up on ‘Hyperion’

Bradley Cooper, Todd Phillips and Syfy Team up for Hyperion

American Sniper star Bradley Cooper is working with his The Hangover director Todd Phillips, Oscar winning producer Graham King (The Departed, Argo), and Syfy on Hyperion, an event series based on Dan Simmons’ award-winning novel. Itamar Moses (Boardwalk Empire) has been tapped to adapt Simmons’ book for the series and will co-executive produce the sci-fi show.

“It is an absolute honor to enter into the world created by Dan Simmons that is arguably one of the greatest works of science fiction, and help realize it for television audiences,” said executive producer Cooper.

“As Syfy continues to forge important partnerships with award-winning talent on and off screen, this powerhouse team led by Bradley Cooper, Graham King and Todd Phillips brings an extraordinary track record in producing entertainment of the highest creative ambition,” stated Dave Howe, President, Syfy & Chiller. “Epitomizing the gold standard of science fiction story-telling, Hyperion tackles smart and provocative themes that help define Syfy’s development vision.”

The Plot:

Set on the eve of Armageddon with the entire galaxy at war, Hyperion is the story of seven pilgrims who set forth on a voyage to seek the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope and a terrible secret — while one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.
