DMZ TV Series Coming To HBO Max

[QUOTE]Warner Bros. is digging deeper into its DC properties and bringing another popular comic book to life. The company has ordered a pilot for DMZ, based on the 2005 Vertigo title by Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli, for its upcoming streaming service HBO Max. And it’s recruited one of its feature film directors to help out: Ava DuVernay.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]DuVernay, who is attached to make New Gods for DC, will direct the pilot and Roberto Patino will show run and executive produce. He’s best known for his work on Westworld and Sons of Anarchy. Deadline broke the news. This isn’t the first time Hollywood has tried to make this TV show happen, however. Through Warner Bros. TV, the title was previously set to be adapted at Syfy in 2014. Harry Potter producer David Heyman was also attached at the time but it never came to fruition.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]DMZ is set in an unspecified near future where the United States is in a Civil War. This adaptation will follow a medic in the demilitarized zone of Manhattan (hence D-M-Z) as she traverses the political and military landscapes, while also keeping an eye out for her missing son. It’s a good balance of dramatic, real-world themes in a sci-fi, comic book world.[/QUOTE]

Sounds very interesting and there's a lot of freedom to do some really cool things with this storyline. Can't wait to see what they do.
