Very soon an interesting project awaits us: a full-scale adaptation of the legendary novel "Picnic on the Roadside" by the Strugatsky brothers. This was told by Deadline Briton Matthew Goode, whom movie fans are well aware of under the "Game of Imitation" and "Downtown Abbey" projects.
The adaptation of the most popular in the West book of Soviet fiction writers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky will be presented to the audience in the form of a multi-series film. The plans for adaptation were discussed in 2015.
The series is run by eminent filmmakers: screenwriter Jack Paglen and director Alan Taylor. The idea is realized by Sony Pictures TV and Tribune Studios.

What cinema?
Recall that the word "stalker" was invented exactly by the Strugatsky brothers. This is the title of the book's main character, Redrick Schuhart. This fearless person is constantly forced to make expeditions to the "zone", from where he returns not with empty hands, but with extraordinary artifacts.
They say that in their time the aliens, who stopped on Earth, generously scattered them, to rest and organize an easy "picnic on the roadside".
According to the plot of the novel, Shuhart takes his friend, Dr. Panov, with him on a regular trip. This expedition for "miracles" is fatal.
Let's notice, that in Hollywood for a long time tried "the Picnic on a roadside" on a tooth. Back in 2006, Columbia Pictures was interested in the book. The working title of the project was "After a visit," but it was never finished.
