Yikes!

NBC developing 'Argonauts' remake --The Live Feed: "NBC has picked up a script that retells the Greek mythology tale “Jason and the Argonauts.”

NBC won a bidding war for the story by Josh and Jonas Pate (“Moonlight,” “Surface”). The project is considered development, sources say, but there’s a penalty should NBC pass.

“Argonauts” is best known as the 1963 film that featured the stop-motion animation work of Ray Harryhausen. If produced, NBC is considering shooting the entire project on green screen, likely hoping for something that’s more “300”-cool, or at least environmentally convincing, rather than “Attack of the Clones”-cheesy."
