Book and graphic novel adaptations, such as Julie and Julia and Watchmen, have been having a bonanza at the box office this year (well, save for Time Traveler’s Wife). You would think that this would naturally translate to more television interest in books, as well. Looking into the near-future, one of the most anticipated titles headed for the small screen in the US in the near-term is Past Life, which was “inspired by” M.J. Rose’s 2007 novel The Reincarnationist. Scheduled to air on Fox starting in March and filmed largely in Baltimore, the show features a pair of “past-life detectives who investigate whether what is happening to you today is the result of who you were before.” Naturally, one is a true-believer in reincarnation, while the other is a skeptic.
