HBO to develop a series based on Elon Musk's SpaceX
HBO is in the process of developing a limited six-episode series which will be called SpaceX and will be based on the space exploration company of the same name by Elon Musk. It will take inspiration from Ashlee Vance authored book named “Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future". According to Variety, the show will be based around Musk’s vision of space exploration and his contributions.
The show will focus on how Elon Musk had a dream for humankind to be able to settle on the other planets in the Solar system. For this purpose, he handpicked a team of engineers who went on to work in a Pacific Island and built and launched the first SpaceX rocket into the earth’s orbit.
On May 30, 2020, SpaceX launched Falcon 9 which was the first manned SpaceX launch into the orbit and is officially the initiation of a new era of privately sponsored exploration of the space.
Doug Jung will be the writer and executive producer for the series. Channing Tatum, Reid Carolin, and Peter Kiernan of Free Association, as well as Vance and Len Amato, will executively produce the show. Free Association’s Michael Parets will oversee the project for them.
Doug Jung has been previously credited for writing films including Star Trek Beyond and The Cloverfield Paradox. His show writing credits include Mindhunter, Banshee, Big Love, and Dark Blue, of which he co-created Dark Blue. Jung is repped by UTA, Circle of Confusion, and Hansen Jacobson.
Elon Musk is not attached to the show as of now. The SpaceX founder is one of the most influential personalities in the tech industry. His company, Tesla which produces electric vehicles and clean energy is also the reason the man is often in the headlines.
