( EW.com ) -- Stephen King 's fantasy novel `` Eyes of the Dragon '' could at last become a movie or miniseries . The 1987 bestseller is being developed by Syfy as a longform project , along with a scripted drama series based on the comic `` Grey Legion '' and two high-concept movie projects . The network is set to announce all the titles later today at its upfront presentation in New York City . Michael Taylor ( `` Battlestar Galactica '' ) and Jeff Vintar ( `` I , Robot '' ) will pen the `` Dragon '' script , with Taylor and Bill Haber as executive producers . `` Dragon '' is a rarity among King 's early works : A stand-alone novel that has n't been previously adapted into a live-action feature . In fact , among King 's pre-1990 books that were first published under his own name , only his fantasy titles ( `` Eyes of the Dragon , '' `` The Talisman '' and the `` Dark Tower '' books ) have n't yet been adapted , though all have been in development at one point or another . And given HBO 's success with its fantasy hit `` Game of Thrones , '' the timing for `` Dragon '' could n't be better . `` Dragon '' takes place in fictional realm of Delain and follows a teenage prince who is falsely accused of murdering his father , the king . Imprisoned in a high tower , the prince must figure out a way to escape , clear his name , and confront the devious and powerful wizard who is responsible for his father 's death . Though `` Dragon '' was aimed at younger readers than most of the author 's books , the story also has plenty of characteristically dark touches . The tale also has some overlapping mythology with King 's `` Dark Tower '' novels , including sharing a villain ( Flagg ) who was also in one of King 's most beloved works , `` The Stand . '' In addition , Syfy is developing a drama series called `` Seeing Things . '' Based on the comic `` Grey Legion '' from Platinum Studios , `` Seeing Things '' is about a cop who meets a violent demise but returns as a ghost to close his last case . The only person who can help him is a socially awkward man who is realizing for the first time that his hallucinations may not be all in his head . David Slack ( `` Person of Interest , '' `` Lie To Me '' ) and Gabrielle Stanton ( `` Haven , '' `` The Vampire Diaries '' ) will write . Slack , Robert Cort and Scott Mitchell Rosenberg will executive produce the project from Fox Television Studios . Another movie/mini project in the works at Syfy is `` Darkfall , '' from Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris ( `` Kung Fu Panda , '' `` Sleeper Cell '' ) . Logline : `` When , without warning , modern forms of power and technology become a thing of the past , Los Angeles , and the world at large , becomes a place where magic rules and life as we know it is turned upside down . '' Jim Henson Company and Universal Cable Productions will produce . Syfy is also developing a movie called `` One Mile Straight Down . '' Logline : `` When a powerful earthquake hits California and opens up a chasm bigger than the Grand Canyon , it reveals an enormous hidden ocean lying deep beneath the earth 's crust . Billionaire adventurer James Exeter works with the government to take an advanced nuclear submarine down to explore it and discovers more than he ever could have imagined . '' Skip Woods ( `` X-Men Origins : Wolverine '' ) , Naren Shankar ( `` CSI : Crime Scene Investigation '' ) and Deran Sarafian ( `` CSI : NY '' ) will write and executive produce this one from Universal Cable Productions .
