Legendary is close to a deal with Frank Miller for the rights to develop a TV series based on his “Sin City” graphic novels, an individual with knowledge of the deal tells TheWrap.
Robert Rodriguez, who co-directed the 2005 film adaptation with Miller, is also close to returning as an executive producer. The film starred Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Clive Owen and Mickey Rourke. A sequel, “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For,” was released in 2014.
“Dame to Kill For” producer Stephen L’Heureux, and Silenn Thomas, who heads Miller’s production company, would also serve as producers. The deal with Miller includes a “hard R” animated prequel series.
