Remember that Farscape movie rumor from earlier this year? Well, now that rumor is inching closer to reality.

Rockne O’Bannon, the creator and showrunner of the original Farscape series, confirmed at WonderCon that the film adaptation is in development, though it’s still in the very early stages.

“Yeah, yeah, it’s the worst kept secret,” O’Bannon said. “We’re far from production, but yeah, the first step is Justin [Monjo] working on a script for us. We’ll keep our fingers crossed.”

Monjo was a writer and producer for the TV show.

You can find the full interview with NerdacyTV below. The topic of Farscape comes up around the 2:21 mark.

Tor provided the reported plot synopsis for the movie when the original story broke.

“Set to follow the awesome comics written by our favorite Keith R.A. DeCandido, the film would follow John and Aeryn’s son, D’Argo (or Little D, as we will always refer to him). Because their baby was exhibiting a set of interesting powers that made him a magnet for galactic villains, we find that John and Aeryn hide their son on Earth to grow up. Now the kid is 19 and ready to go into space with his parents.”
