The comic series is rising to new life as a TV show — or it is taking the first step towards doing so, at least. Michael Green (The River, Heroes, Smallville) will serve as writer and executive producer on a pilot based on the comic, and if the show is picked up to series he’ll serve as show runner as well.
We’ve got no info about specific stories or casting, but rest assured we’ll bring you those details when possible. Don’t expect Moore to speak up much on this one, but no doubt he’ll have many questions lobbed his way.
The bar is set pretty low with respect to adapting this comic series, but in all seriousness there is a rich wealth of character and story potential here. There’s a good series to make out of both Moore’s series and the books that inspired it, and we hope that Green and Fox’s effort steps up with more ingenuity than the film managed to bring to bear.
