Booster Gold Live Action Drama For SyFy

Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you that Syfy were commissioning a number of TV mini-series based on comic book properties such as Ghost Projekt and The Sixth Gun.

But we didn't expect one of their new projects to be DC Comics' Booster Gold. A pilot script for a hour long series has been comissioned, with Greg Berlanti (No Ordinary Family, Green Lantern) as exec producer and Andrew Kreisberg (Fringe) writing, with an exec producer credit for DC.

The Hollywood Reporter.. reports

"The story will center on Booster Gold, a washed-up athlete from the future who travels back to the present in hopes of becoming the greatest super hero of all time. Instead of chasing criminals, however, his main priority is chasing fame and money. But Booster Gold discovers that being a hero takes more than just a megawatt smile, and that the future doesn't happen without first protecting the present."

Booster Gold appeared in Smallville (above) and in a number of DC cartoons over the years, but ths would be quite a jump for a character the mainstream public really hasn't heard of. But he does have one killer of a high concept…
