'TWC/Dimension is developing a TV reboot of Frank Miller’s iconic comic series Sin City. 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 The Omen'.

'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 & Harvey Weinstein'.

Bring it on, I say!

This format makes so much more sense, and I hope they use a variety of directors like in the first one to put their own unique spin.

This could be ok??

I liked the first film when it came out, does it hold up? I feel like they just took too long with the second and missed the boat.

Len Wiseman is your get? lol

"This one will hew closely to the graphic novels" + "with a fresh take"

Does not compute.

Man, how does Len Wiseman keep getting work.

At least this should keep him away from Die Hard: Year One for the time being.

As someone who also liked the first movie when it came out, not really.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Sectorseven]

Len Wisemen, eh? So, who is Kate Beckinsale going to play?

*makes Debbie Downer face*

I don't see this working for a long form story. I guess we'll see how they retool it. But pulpy noir generally only works in short bursts. I can't imagine watching a weekly show that emulates Sin City, movie or comic. The narration alone would be grating.

Also, I watched the second movie recently. It just exhausted me. The first movie really was of its time.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I'm open to this idea.

It all completely depends on the execution, however.

It will be in color, just watch.

A variety of directors? The whole movie was directed by Rodriguez outside a single scene directed by Tarantino that amounted to like 10 minutes of screen time

I'd rather part 3.

Could be the best comic book trilogy.

 

[Curt Baboon]

Sure. The first five stories or so are pretty good, and then Frank Miller decided to become fucking awful for the remaining portion of his career and ruined the rest.

I would be into a noirish anthology series using Sin City's aesthetics as a base. I just want different characters, since there's no way they can do Marv justice after Rourke nailed it so hard in the first one.
