Allan Quatermain is also getting his own TV show
The recently renamed Sonar Entertainment (formerly RHI)—like the revitalized MGM and Miramax before it—has decided that the best way to stake its claim on the future is to dig out the past, a metaphorical groping under the couch cushions that has already turned up a franchise dust bunny in a Hellraiser TV show and now, a perfectly good public domain property that no one was using: Allan Quatermain. The Hollywood Reporter says that Sonar has teamed with Ecosse Films—makers of the Starz drama Camelot—to create a new 10-part series starring the H. Rider Haggard-created adventurer who inspired Indiana Jones (as well as several generations of men who believe they can pull off fedoras) as he’s hired to find the missing brother of a German nobleman amid King Solomon’s lost diamond mines.
