The Tripods is a mid-'80s television adaptation of Samuel Youd's (writing as John Christopher) The Tripods series of novels. It was jointly produced by the BBC in the United Kingdom and the Seven Network in Australia. Disney-owned Touchstone Pictures nabbed the rights in the late '90s, but the whole enterprise languished in development hell until Variety reported in early 2005 that director Gregor Jordan was slated to mastermind the big screen resurrection of the three-legged alien invaders. It wasn't to be. As news dried up, the frustration was felt most by fans of the classic BBC version of The Tripods, which was cruelly axed after two mostly fantastic seasons with the last book in the trilogy unfilmed. A nation of children who feared cappings, Black Guards and dreamt of the White Mountains were left without a visual resolution to the ambitious tale. However, in 2009 Alex Proyas has been linked to the proposed movie... www.digitalspy.co.uk
