Farscape and Defiance creator Rockne S. O’Bannon is adapting Warren Ellis’ graphic novel Global Frequency for Fox. Warner Bros. TV producer Jerry Bruckheimer, along with Jonathan Littman, Ellis and O’Bannon, will executive produce the drama. In the comic, the Global Frequency is a covert intelligence organization headed by Miranda Zero to protect and rescue the world from various secret government projects. There are reportedly 1001 people on the Global Frequency, each with their own specialized skills in a variety of areas, who communicate using special video phones connected to a central system monitored by a young woman named Aleph.
Global Frequency is sort of unique in that the comic only features two main characters, Miranda and Aleph. The rest are seen on an issue by issue basis. The twelve-part limited series is also told with standalone stories, so the reader can pick up any issue and know what’s going on. Of course, when adapting the material for TV, one assumes an ongoing mythology or narrative will be added to the standalone stories.
