'Nightflyers': Here are the major differences between the book and series, George RR Martin's take on it

For those ardent fans who feel like the series will be yet another disaster like the 1987 film of the same name, worry not.

Syfy's upcoming space adventure/psychological thriller, 'Nightflyers', is almost here and if there is one thing fans can be certain of, it's the twisted element of horror and gore underlying what seems to be a perfectly composed science fiction plot.

Adapted from the novella of the same name by George R. R. Martin, this series is about to make up for the gaping void the mastermind's other brainchild - the Game of Thrones - left without releasing a season in 2018. But for those ardent fans who feel like the series will be yet another disaster like the 1987 film of the same name, worry not. Despite key differences from the novella, the series created by Jeff Buhler is pretty spectacular!
