Legion M has recruited Hellboy screenwriter Andrew Cosby to take on the showrunner role for Evermor, a planned steampunk TV series aimed at family audiences and partly inspired by Dr. Evermor’s Sculpture Park, an eccentric tourist attraction off of Highway 12 in south Wisconsin. Cosby wrote the script for director Neil Marshall’s upcoming Hellboy reboot (in theaters April 12) from Lionsgate.
Evermor is Legion M’s first bid to create an original television series and the company itself will be credited as an executive producer on the project. Legion M is now pursuing investment and distribution partners for the proposed series. Evermor was created by three Legion M members: Perry Covington, Erik Figi and Tya Kottler. The script was co-written by Covington and Figi. The project is planned as a one-hour fantasy series.
The story synopsis: “Evermor follows orphaned teenage twins, Ellie and Sam, who are sent to live at the mysterious estate of their eccentric aunt, Dr. Catherine Evermor. A powerful secret reveals that their world is not what it seems, and neither are they. Ellie and Sam’s discovery of a wondrous machine called the Forevertron allows them to journey through the multiverse and its alternate Earths, finding danger, love, family, the limitless potential of human adventure and their ultimate destinies.”
