            It seems that a new trend in Hollywood is adapting old films for television reboots? It’s one trend that I hope dies soon but who knows with more and more shows being announced each and every day. Collider reports that Sin City will get the TV treatment with Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead) and Len Wiseman (Lucifer, Sleepy Hollow) heading the team.

            The intention of the series is that it will be nothing like the films introducing original characters and timelines in the Sin City universe which is an interesting take but still, why not just do a whole new original concept? Mazzara and Wiseman are clearly not new to the world of television so it could turn out being a good effort though. No network has been attached yet but something tells me that a premium network will pick this up for its gritty, dark tone. HBO or Starz could be perfect for a show like this.

            The first film back in 2005 directed by Robert Rodriguez was ground-breaking but his more recent sequel, A Dame to Kill For didn’t do as well with fans or critically. I’d be interested to see if he’s attached as a producer or involved whatsoever but either way, it should be an intriguing series.
