Sin City creator Frank Miller to adapt Hugo Pratt's CortoMaltese as a live-action TV series for Studiocanal:
A live-action series adaptation of Italian comic creator Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese is setting sail with Studiocanal and Frank Miller. The Sin City writer and artist, who co-directed the 2005 film adaptation of his Dark Horse graphic novel with Robert Rodriguez, will serve as creator, writer, and executive producer of the six-episode Corto Maltese series in partnership with France's Canal+ channel. Deadline first reported the news.
Miller's statement continued:"This is the hero's journey in its most classic form, and I couldn't be more honored to help bring into this series the romanticism, heroism, and underlying mysticism of Pratt's creation." Oscar-winning visual effects creator Phil Tippett will create the world of Corto Maltese, described as a heroic adventurer, a mystical expeditionary, and a multi-cultural hero compared to legendary Lucasfilm creations like Indiana Jones and Han Solo of Star Wars.
I wish to play up the romance, the heroism and the underlying mysticism of Pratt's creation. This is a rascal who could talk to the gods. Corto is not the weathered pirate he is to become when we meet him. He is the young adventurer out to discover the world and making a lot of money doing it. But just like Odysseus, he has no idea what a wild world he is to discover. It is a world full of magic and horrors.
