‘Dark City’ Television Series in Development, According to Film’s Director, Alex Proyas
Dark City is officially getting a television adaptation thanks to director Alex Proyas. The news comes from a virtual Q&A held by the ongoing Popcorn Frights Film Festival, which is premiering the 1998 film’s short successor Mask of the Evil Apparition. While the short film and subsequent Q&A with Mayhem director Joe Lynch have not been released, the news of the Dark City adaptation was broken by Bloody Disgusting.
“Dark City right now is really an intriguing one to me because we’re developing a series, a Dark City series,” Proyas has revealed. He did not reveal much about the plot and where the series is expected to premiere, mainly because it is still in the early stages of development. Just don’t expect it to be a straight adaptation of the film, which is a noir/science-fiction blend that centered around a man (Rufus Sewell) embroiled in an alien conspiracy.
