'Sin City' to hit the small screen
The Weinstein Co. is to make the hugely succesful film into a TV series.
Oct 24 2005
Bob and Harvey Weinstein's new firm The Weinstein Co. is moving into television with a small-screen version of 'Sin City'.
Co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller are currently making a sequel to the hit film, and once finished, they will start work on a television version of the franchise.
There's no word yet as to whether stars Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba and the like will reprise their roles however.
Gambling thriller 'Rounders', which starred Matt Damon and Edward Norton, is also set to get the TV treatment, in an effort to cash in on the current global poker craze.
Other TV projects being lined up by the brothers include 'The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency' about a female private eye in Botswana, and the creatively monikered 'Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures', about the work of UN peacekeeping forces.
