Will Red Mars FInally Make it to TV?

According to Tor.com, Spike TV now has real plans to adapt Kim Stanley Robinson's novel Red Mars for television. From their January 22nd blog post:

Finally, Spike TV took over the rights—and according to Deadline, they’ve signed on Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski to adapt Red Mars...

“The heart of this series tackles the question of what it means to be human—and can we sustain our humanity under incredible duress,” said Sharon Levy, Spike TV’s Executive VP of Original Series. Robinson will serve as consultant on the series, which is being produced by Game of Thrones co-executive producer Vince Gerardis.

I hope this isn't another false hope...
