Television Show
A pilot loosely based on the series and given the same name starring Rachael Leigh Cook as Gaia was filmed for The WB. The show took place 5 years after the original Fearless series of books with Gaia now 23 working as an agent for the FBI. The show never made it to air due to casting and other concerns. Its time slot was later filled with One Tree Hill on the network's fall schedule, though it was later considered a serious contender for a mid-season replacement. The pilot was filmed a second time, but issues over the main character could not be resolved. Producers could not show a character without a fear gene showing emotion in a convincing fashion.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or show:
“All television ever did was shrink the demand for ordinary movies. The demand for extraordinary movies increased. If any one thing is wrong with the movie industry today, it is the unrelenting effort to astonish.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
“The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practise politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
