Well if anyone can pull this off it’s those Weinstein Brothers with their new company. From Variety through the SciFi Blog, the news is that Sin City is set to movie to the small screen:
Variety says the bloated Weinstein brothers, via their newly formed Weinstein Co., will be doing a “Sin City” TV series following in the footsteps of director Robert Rodriguez’s 2006 sequel to the 2005 hit.
I think they’re comments are quite right over at the SciFi Blog, it would be one hell of an expensive TV series, unless the effects team have it streamlined to a standard process now, perhaps they do. However I forsee some other problems, the level of violence and overall content will have to be heavily toned down for a wide distribution, otherwise they’re looking at smaller cable channels.
Would you like to see a TV series? Could it work and retain the same feel as the movies?
