 With the way that Ebola is dominating headlines right now – despite Shep Smith’s best and most rational efforts – it would have been more surprising if nobody tried to fictionalize it. While my money would have been on Law & Order: SVU, it is instead Fox TV Studios that will be developing a series based on the work of author Richard Preston with producers Ridley Scott and Lynda Obst. The duo originally wanted to turn Preston’s bestselling book, “The Hot Zone,” into a feature film starring Jodie Foster 20 years ago, but the project obviously didn’t pan out. 
  
 The resurgence of Ebola, and especially the reported cases in the United States, has made the topic more relevant than ever, which is why Scott and Obst are back at work. 
  
 “I think it’s the speed with which it kills that makes the disease so frightening,” Obst tells The Hollywood Reporter. “People hoped it would stay in some remote part of the world. But that’s a fantasy in the modern world. The modern world makes us one big connected family.” 
  
 In regard to just the first chapter of “The Hot Zone,” Stephen King called it “one of the most horrifying things I’ve read in my whole life – and then it gets worse. That’s what I keep marveling over: it keeps getting worse. What a remarkable piece of work.” Keep in mind that it is a non-fiction thriller. Preston’s work in writing about Ebola isn’t limited to “The Hot Zone,” which examined the origins of this disease and similar viruses. In an article in the New Yorker last month, Preston recapped the “explosive” emergence of Ebola in West Africa, and that information will be included in the series, as will a piece that he has written for next week’s New Yorker that will cover the latest cases in the U.S. 
  
 Preston also conducted an AMA on Reddit for his August article in the New Yorker, and he answered a number of questions regarding everything from the experimental serum ZMAPP… 
  
 The antibody serum ZMAPP seems to be amazingly effective but we don’t know because it’s only been tried on the two patients. As for aftereffects, i interviewed Dr. Shem Musoke who nearly died of Marburg (close cousin of Ebola) and he told me it took him about a year to recover fully but now he was fine. It’s a crushing disease but if you survive you do recover. 
  
 … to how medical workers can avoid being infected while treating the disease. 
  
 They haven’t been able to fully protect themselves, doctors and nurses are dying. They’re wearing full protection biohazard suits, but the Ebola wards are just horrifying, 30 Ebola patients with one doctor and one nurse, both in space suits. Conditions are awful in those wards, we need more doctors and nurses – not even a space suit can totally protect you if the ward is really a mess. 
  
 According to The Hollywood Reporter, Preston has been working with Scott and Obst in the development of this limited series. ||||| Based on Richard Preston's 1994 best-seller 'The Hot Zone,' the limited series is being produced by Fox TV Studios 
  
 As the Ebola virus continues to dominate the headlines, producer Lynda Obst and director-producer Ridley Scott are bringing the deadly pathogen to the small screen with a limited series for Fox TV Studios based on Richard Preston's 1994 nonfiction best-seller The Hot Zone. 
  
 For the past year, the pair quietly has been working on the property, which they optioned two decades ago and never let lapse, hiring Jeff Vintar (I, Robot) to adapt. But the project became incredibly timely a few months ago when the current outbreak — the deadliest manifestation of the disease to date — began to emerge in West Africa. Ebola has ravaged several countries in Africa, killing some 4,400, and has since spread to the United States, claiming one victim in Texas. Two nurses who cared for the Texas patient have tested positive for the disease, which kills about half of the people who contract it. This week, it came to light that one of the nurses flew from Cleveland to Dallas the day before testing positive, setting off a new wave of fears that the disease will continue to spread.

 “I think it's the speed with which it kills that makes the disease so frightening,” Obst tells The Hollywood Reporter. “People hoped it would stay in some remote part of the world. But that's a fantasy in the modern world. The modern world makes us one big connected family.” 
  
 Preston is writing a piece for next week's New Yorker magazine (The Hot Zone started out as an 1992 article in the New Yorker), chronicling the current outbreak. Obst and Scott, who originally conceived the project as a film that Scott would direct for 20th Century Fox starring Jodie Foster, are in conversations to option Preston’s latest article and would work it into the series, which spans the history of the disease, including a 1989 incident in which primates at a quarantine facility in Virginia became infected with a mutated version of Ebola. 
  
 Obst and Scott have the inside track on the new article because Preston has been working with the pair for the past year on the limited series. Scott, who would potentially direct at least the first episode, will serve as an executive producer alongside Obst, David Zucker and Jim Hart, who wrote the original feature screenplay Crisis in the Hot Zone. Once the disease’s latest twist is incorporated into the series’ script, Obst and Scott will take it out to networks.

 “A limited series is a great way to do this because you don't have to limit it to a three-act structure like you do with a film,” Obst adds. 
  
 Scott is in postproduction on Exodus: Gods and Kings, a film he directed and produced for Fox. On the TV front, he has Killing Jesus in production for National Geographic Channel (the project is based on the best-seller by Bill O’Reilly). Obst has one of the hottest films of 2014 on the horizon: Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. 
  
 Obst, Scott and Vintar are repped by WME. Obst is additionally handled by attorney Lev Ginsburg, and Vintar is additionally represented by attorney Sandy Fox.

Solution:
Just what an already paranoid public needs: Ridley Scott is working on a TV series about Ebola. The limited series, produced by Fox TV Studios, will be based on Richard Preston's 1994 best-seller The Hot Zone. The nonfiction book gives an account of the disease's history and discusses a 1989 incident in Virginia in which primates at a quarantine facility got infected with a mutated version of the virus. (Stephen King once said the first chapter of the book is "one of the most horrifying things I’ve read in my whole life," Uproxx notes.) Scott and producer Lynda Obst optioned the property 20 years ago and originally thought they might make a film. Of course, the project just recently became "incredibly timely," the Hollywood Reporter notes. They've actually been working on it for a year now, with Preston helping them. He's also working on a New Yorker article, out next week, about the current outbreak; Scott and Obst may option it, too. Scott may direct the first episode, and possibly more, and will also serve as an executive producer. Obst explains what makes the subject matter so compelling: "I think it's the speed with which it kills. People hoped it would stay in some remote part of the world. But that's a fantasy in the modern world." No network is yet attached, and it's not clear when the series might debut.
