Starz's answer to HBO's Game of Thrones?
Currently in production, the live-action adaptation of Gabaldon's original novel will air on Starz in 2014.
The original "Outlander" book is rich in historical details for both postwar England and 18th-century Scotland. Gabaldon explained she does her research concurrently with the writing: "I know a lot of people who wrote historical fiction. Basically, what they do is 10 years of research and say, 'I don't know enough to begin writing yet.'"
The novels have a strong fan base, and Gabaldon said she listens politely to the input of her readers: "If you have more than one reader, you can't write for the readers because they are all going to want something different."
John Dahl, who directed episodes of "Breaking Bad," will direct the first two "Outlander" episodes. Dahl and Moore previously worked together on "Battlestar Galactica" and "Caprica."
