The adaptation from the hit Korean sci-fi film.

Hamilton star and clipping. frontman Daveed Diggs has been cast to star in TNT’s upcoming pilot for a TV adaptation of the Bong Joon-ho dystopian action film Snowpiercer.

Though a full series has not been ordered yet, TNT has enlisted some big talent for the pilot which will be helmed by Dr. Strange director Scott Derrickson. Joon-ho and fellow producer, acclaimed director Park Chan-Wook, will return to produce. Josh Friedman, creator of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, wrote the pilot and will act as showrunner.

Originally based off a French graphic novel, Snowpiercer follows the remnants of humanity after a global ice age who survive in the titular train built around a brutal caste-system. The film followed a group from the back of the train as they fight their way through the increasingly wealthier cars in an attempt to save a child.

Diggs will play Layton Well, a character described as “a quiet thinker who spends his days sniffing the industrial-waste-turned-drug Chronole and tending to his cage full of rats” before reluctantly getting involved in a struggle on the train. It’s unclear at this point if the pilot or proposed series will be connected with the original film or graphic novel.
