Frank Miller’s Sin City was a property we never thought we’d see on TV when the comics and even the first film came out. It was too dark. Too violent. Nowadays, though? If fits like a glove, and it’s taking shape in the best possible of ways.
Deadline is reporting that TWC/Dimension is developing a TV reboot of Frank Miller’s iconic comic series. This one will hew closely to the graphic novels, with a fresh take by writer Glen Mazzara, the showrunner whose resume includes “The Shield,” “The Walking Dead,” and “Damien.”
Underworld helmer Len Wiseman, whose TV credits include “Sleepy Hollow” and “Lucifer,” will direct. Stephen L’Heureux (Sin City: A Dame To Kill For) will oversee this and produce with Miller, Mazzara, Wiseman, and Bob and Harvey Weinstein.
The site goes on to report that the series will be a far departure from the films, introducing original characters and timelines within the Sin City universe. Stay tuned.
