Before there was The Matrix, there wasDark City, Alex Proyas’ sci-fi noir about a mysterious world where it’s always night where an amnesiac goes on the run from the police. When I revisited Dark City last year, I wrote “If Dark City had been a hit at all, it would have been a very interesting setting for a television show or even a comic book series.”
It would seem that Alex Proyas agrees with me. In a recent film festival Q&A (via Bloody Disgusting), he said that he’s in the “very early stages” of working on a Dark City television series.
Not sure how to feel about this. Dark City is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s so original and so often imitated. I’d hate to see it violated in the endless search for more money. But since Alex Proyas himself is adapting it, I’m cautiously optimistic.

It would take a miracle for him to redeem himself after Gods of Egypt

He can play in this world if he wants, but it’s gonna be weird art shit (like his original script) and it’s not canon without the other two writers.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
