George R. R. Martin Calls Syfy's Nightflyers "Psycho in Space"

Syfy has released a first look at their upcoming new series Nightflyers based on the novella by George R. R. Martin and the 1987 film adaptation. This comes on the heels of yesterday's announcement that Daniel Cerone was exiting as the series showrunner to be replaced by Jeff Buhler who wrote the pilot. Martin joins the cast and crew in this clip talking about the new series.

Nightflyers follows eight scientists and a powerful telepath that head out on a journey of exploration to the outer edge of the solar system on board a ship called the Nightflyer.
