Die Säulen der Erde
While acquiring the rights to "The Pillars of the Earth" from Ken Follett, Tandem Communications also secured a first right to negotiate a deal for "World Without End", the sequel to the first novel. The project was announced in December 2010. The "World Without End" miniseries was co-produced by Tandem with Scott Free Productions, Canadian-based Take 5 Productions and Galafilm. John Pielmeier, who adapted "The Pillars of the Earth", wrote the screenplay. Michael Caton-Jones signed on as director in March 2011.
