HBO and Guillermo del Toro are teaming on Monster, developing a potential series culled from a series of 18 volumes of Japanese Manga by author Naoki Urasawa published by Shogakukan Inc. Del Toro will co-write the story with Steven Thompson, best known for his work on Dr. Who and Sherlock. Thompson will write the pilot, which del Toro intends to direct.

Mixed feelings about this, but at the very least it won't be a watered down version of the original :toot:

It better be some sort of Mini-Series and not a show that's going to run for 10 years. Monster was amazing but if they're going to turn it into a TV show it has to be done right. Making it a yearly thing is going to ruin the story.

I got through about half way of Monster, then I quit. It was enjoyable, but not really that mindblowing and addictive.
This however will appeal more to me, HBO is a great great company and I really enjoy some of their stuff.

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    Gee, I wonder if the author is biased?

    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    California has already banned those additives BTW.
