"The Vampire Diaries exec Julie Plec has revealed that she has &amp;quot;always&amp;quot; wanted to remake UK sci-fi classic The Tomorrow People. The CW recently ordered a pilot for the revamp of the &amp;#039;70s series from Plec and Arrow&amp;#039;s Greg Berlanti. &amp;quot;He and I both watched it on Nickelodeon when we were kids,&amp;quot; Plec told Entertainment Weekly. &amp;quot;I could never find another person who had ever even heard of it, except for Greg in college once, so we were kindred spirits from the get-go.&amp;quot; Plec revealed that Berlanti called her immediately upon acquiring the rights to The Tomorrow People and asked her to produce the US version. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s so great,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s been so busy for the last seven, eight years, and I&amp;#039;ve been so busy for the last seven, eight years that we haven&amp;#039;t had a chance to do what we used to do, which is sit around over a bowl of Chinese food and talk about stories.&amp;quot;  Like the original Tomorrow People series, which aired on ITV between 1973 and 1979, the new show will focus on a team of young people who have evolved into &amp;#039;homo superior&amp;#039; - developing special new abilities. ITV previously produced its own Tomorrow People revamp in the &amp;#039;90s, which ran for three series. &amp;gt; The Tomorrow People remake: Potential hit or disaster in waiting?
