So apparently back in January 2017, AMC made a pilot for a TV series based on the Soviet Sci-Fi novel, Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, which has been adapted into Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R video game series.
In the end, the WGN America decided not to pick up the pilot. Just wondering if anyone here by chance has ever seen the pilot?
Also Stalker thread if anyone is interested.

You have to be retarded to think that TV show has anything to do with the video game.
Never saw this before, and I've played S.T.A.L.K.E.R., wasn't a huge fan.
But I will say this:
This looked fucking awesome!
Why didn't AMC pick this up?
I'm not too familiar with the whole pilot process, but isn't it an oddity that a pilot for a show not picked up to series has a trailer released publicly? Don't they only release those once it gets a series order?
Also it's a shame, because Matthew Goode is a captivating actor.

i think it's pretty obvious that we didn't deserve that.

>and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R video game series.
No, they were only inspired by the book, but STALKER is miles away from it.

Shame, it the only novel that I read in the last 4-5 years that put in my yearly reading list.

americans do not have the mental range to make a movie out of it.
it would look like the fake trailer you posted.

Probs didn't get picked up because there weren't enough black crows..circling.

This looks like dog poo poo.
They will never be able to beat Tarkovsky's film.

Kill yourself.
The video games really don't have much to do with the novel.
