For now, little is known about the new project. It is known that the script will be signed by cousins Kaz and Ryan Firpo from “Eternal”, and that Amazon is planning a major franchise with multiple seasons and spinoffs. It has also been speculated that the series may be set in an alternate United States, similar to “For All Mankind” (Apple) and “Man in the High Castle” (Amazon).
George Roy Hill’s 1969 classic won four Oscars, with the film fleeing the authorities after a series of train robberies.
