The Vertigo/DC Comic DMZ is coming to HBO. A pilot has been ordered and a director is onboard.
The characters and concepts first appear in DMZ #1. There was also a pretty cool Convention Exclusive
for the book that came out as well.
From Variety.com
Ava DuVernay is expanding her DC universe.
The director, who is already set to helm the DC superhero feature “New Gods,” has signed on to direct a pilot based on the “DMZ” comic series which has been ordered at HBO Max.
The prospective series hails from showrunner and executive producer Roberto Patino, and is described a futuristic drama set in an American civil war. Filming on the Warner Bros. Television pilot is set to begin in early 2020.
In the near future, the aforementioned civil war leaves Manhattan a demilitarized zone (DMZ), destroyed and isolated from the rest of the world. “DMZ” chronicles the journey of a female medic who saves lives while desperately searching for her lost son. She has to contend with the gangs, militias, demagogues and warlords that control the lawless no man’s land.
For those speculating on DMZ #1, the book was published in 2006. The convention exclusive was published in 2008.
I’m going to boycott this show since its a Brian Wood based book.
Same here
I’m not… story was good and he’ll have no involvement moving forward, despite receiving necessary residuals… boycotting won’t undo what’s been done and kudos to dark horse for not providing himself platform to continue to produce without regret.
