Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was actually the SECOND Riverworld adaptation after a failed 2003 pilot, making it a resurrection of a resurrection.
Philip José Farmer's novels were groundbreaking in 1971 for their diverse historical cast; the 2010 version awkwardly modernizes this with a white male lead saving everyone.
