Astronaut Academy, a.k.a. ‘Harry Potter in Space,’ Gets Optioned for TV and Film
By Germain Lussier | io9 |
“It’s Harry Potter in space,” says producer Vivek J. Tiwary and really, that’s all he needs to say. That short sentence is enough to get people interested in Astronaut Academy, a comic series by Dave Roman that Tiwary just optioned to make into both a TV show and movie.
Roman’s series tells the story of students training to be heroes at a school called the Astronaut Academy. When a threat the adults can’t handle threatens the universe, a character named Hakata Soy recruits several of his friends to battle it.
