Before there was The Matrix, there was Dark 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.
