Last week saw the re-release of Warren Ellis’ “Global Frequency” in a complete trade paperback collection from Vertigo (since Wildstorm is now defunct). It’s a nice little collection, perfect for anyone who does not have the book in their home yet and definitely a great read.

But for those of you just coming to the series, you may not have known that it was once set to be a TV show starring Michelle Forbes, Josh Hopkins, Jenni Baird and adapted by John Rogers.

And apparently a year ago, the pilot was leaked onto the internet via YouTube. I didn’t know. It had been floating around in torrents supposedly, if you’re into that, but Warren Ellis pointed out its existence this morning and, well, who doesn’t want to take an hour out of their day to just sit back and watch this instead of working on what you’re supposed to be working on?
