Scribe Daniel Waters has been tapped to adapt Lindsay Moran's memoir Blowing My Cover: My Life as a CIA Spy for Paramount Vantage.

Additionally, he is developing his first TV project, Earthlings, for Sci Fi Channel, with producers Aaron Craig Geller, Darryl Porter and Fox Television Studios.

Meanwhile, Geller and Porter's newly formed production company, PorterGeller Entertainment, has signed a first-look development deal with FtvS to develop scripted programming.

Blowing My Cover tells the story of Moran, who, a few years out of Harvard and fresh from a Fulbright scholarship in Bulgaria, decided to follow her childhood dream of becoming a spy. But far from being a female James Bond, Moran discovered that the life was more isolating than anything else, with her not able to tell even her closest confidants or boyfriends what she did for a living.

Karen Tenkhoff (The Motorcycle Diaries) is producing. Amy Israel and Jeff Steer are overseeing at Vantage.

Earthlings, described as a darker and subversive successor to such shows as Mork & Mindy or 3rd Rock From the Sun, follows three aliens on Earth who try to save the planet but are continually vexed by humankind's irrational behavior, which seems to find ways to defeat their good intentions.The project is being developed as a 90-minute pilot.
