Scott Free, Tandem team on 'Pillars'
Ridley and Tony Scott’s Scott Free and Munich-based Tandem Communications are re-teaming to produce a TV adaptation of Ken Follett’s international bestseller “The Pillars of the Earth.”
Widely considered to be Follett’s masterpiece, the historical novel is set in the 12th century and revolves around the building of a cathedral, and the development of Gothic architecture, in the fictional town of Kingsbridge, England.
The sweeping epic, which spans more than 50 years, is set against a backdrop of war, religious strife and power struggles that tear lives and families apart. . . .

The book was pretty good; haven't gotten around to the sequel yet. I'd probably watch that show.

My interest in reading the book went up after seeing the German-style board game based on it, so this show comes at a good time. I'd like to watch it.
