[b]National Geographic Channel, Imagine Entertainment and RadicalMedia Embark on a Historic Quest to the Fourth Planet from the Sun in a Groundbreaking Global Miniseries Event[/b] [i]MARS Series Executive Produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard Follows Mankind's Dramatic Thrill Ride to Mars, Intercut With Present-Day Interviews With Leading Innovators, Disruptors and Scientists[/i] Of all the planets in our solar system, none has captured our collective imagination like Mars — a mysterious, indelible part of our zeitgeist. And now National Geographic Channel (NGC); Academy Award and Emmy-winning producers Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Michael Rosenberg of Imagine Entertainment; and Justin Wilkes and Dave O'Connor of RadicalMedia have joined forces to launch us into outer space with the global event series [i]MARS.[/i] Slated to premiere on the National Geographic Channel in 171 countries and 44 languages in fall 2016, [i]MARS[/i] — which is set both in the future and in the present day — will be a unique hybrid of scripted and unscripted elements. The epic six-part global miniseries event will tell the epic story of the thrilling quest to colonize Mars and the first manned mission in 2032. The series will use dramatic scripted drama and feature film-caliber visual effects, intercut with documentary vérité and interviews with present-day scientists and innovators who are leading the research and development of space technology that will make the 2032 mission possible. The unscripted portions are currently in production. NGC also announced that visionary Mexican filmmaker Everardo Gout ("Days of Grace") has been tapped to direct the scripted portions of the miniseries, with principal photography on the scripted portions set in Budapest and Morocco. The scripted portion will focus on two fictional characters at the heart of the story, two young Asian-American twins who as young girls dream of becoming astronauts. Only one of them ultimately makes the journey to Mars.
