Fox Heading to The Beach

Audiences could be set to return to The Beach, with Fox planning a TV version of the hugely popular Alex Garland novel.

The book – which revolves around a young traveller who discovers a secret island paradise – previously hit the big-screen in 2000 with Danny Boyle directing and Leonardo DiCaprio starring.

According to Deadline, the project is being written by Andrew Miller, who previously penned the original script for CW’s The Secret Garden, while 20th Century Fox TV will oversee the project.

Describing his take on the project, Miller said “It’s about a group of young people feeling disconnected and disenchanted from society who try to start over in paradise but discover that while creating the perfect world is hard, protecting it is even harder.”

Chris Tilly is the Entertainment Editor for IGN and wishes Ewan McGregor had starred in the movie of The Beach. His idle chat can be found on both Twitter and MyIGN.
