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.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
