This week, the Tesla gets downgraded, Amazon sells books… from a building, privacy concerns rise in the U.S. & UK, and we’re boldly going back where no one has gone before… All this and more on The Drill Down podcast!

A few weeks back, I wrote up an article about a new television series called Dark Matter, from Joseph Mallozzi (Executive Producer of Stargate SG1, Atlantis, and Universe). Mallozzi began offering hints that one of his projects was inching its way toward the development stage awhile back. Having read his Dark Matter graphic novel, I was really hoping that the collected comic series would be the show he’d been teasing. When it was finally announced that Dark Matter was green-lit by Syfy for a 13 episode season, I was thrilled.

It’s with great honor that I present to you an interview with Joseph Mallozzi. Check out the interview below!

When Stargate Universe was canceled in 2011, executive producers of the television franchise Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie began work on a comic book series called Dark Matter for Dark Horse Comics. After the release of the comic, Mallozzi began teasing fans on his blog that he and Mullie were also working on a science fiction scripted drama that they were hoping would be picked up by a network.

Well, it’s a few years later, and they’ve finally received their wish!
