Dimension Developing “Sin City” Television Series
With their adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Mist” just weeks away, TWC/Dimension is developing a TV reboot of Frank Miller’s iconic comic series “Sin City”, Deadline is reporting.
This one will hew closely to the graphic novels, says the site, with a fresh take by writer Glen Mazzara, the showrunner whose resume includes “The Shield”, “The Walking Dead” and the truly awful “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 & Harvey Weinstein.
The good news is that the intention it is to be a far departure from the films, introducing original characters and timelines within the “Sin City” universe. As much as the first film was a breakthrough of sorts, that visual style of storytelling has become dated. A fresh start is exactly what this phenomenal Miller series needs.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
