C. J. Cherryh’s first novel, Gate of Ivrel, a part of the Morgaine Cycle of books within the Alliance-Union universe of stories that she’s written over the years, looks like it’s being hoped for as a potential movie franchise. Originally published in 1976 with three follow-up novels over the next few years, the series is being looked at by producer Aaron Magnani as he how has the rights to it and already hsa a completed script as well as written by Peter Arneson, who wrote the 2010 feature Iron Doors. The script is called The Gates Of Morgaine: Ivrel, allowing it to work the franchise as a whole. Nobody is attached at this point beyond those two nor is there a studio that has been tied to it either.
Book concept: Scattered about the galaxy were the time-space, gates of a vanished alien race. Long before the rise of the native civilizations, they had terrorized a hundred worlds–not from villainy but from folly. Now the task was to destroy their potency for mischief. This is the story of one such Gate.
