The Andromeda Strain is being developed as a miniseries

From Blackfish publishing via SF Signals:

Michael Crichton's first novel The Andromeda Strain has already spawned a decent movie version, directed by SF legend Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still The Haunting Star Trek: The Motion Picture) back in 1971. But now it's been snapped up by Ridley and Tony Scott who will produced a TV series of the story – the apocalyptic tale of an alien germ that comes to Earth and threatens to wipe out humanity. Planned as a four-to-six hour mini-series, it will be broadcast late next year on America's A&E network
