Frank Miller is set to create, write and executive produce a limited series adaptation of Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese graphic novels for StudioCanal.
Italian illustrator Hugo Pratt created the Corto Maltese fantasy comic character in 1967 as a heroic sailor finding adventure around the world. Miller, the writer-artist behind The Dark Knight, Sin City and 300, will develop the six-episode live action-adventure series in partnership with StudioCanal and Canal+.
“I first discovered Corto Maltese reading the books at Forbidden Planet in New York as a young man. Then on my travels, I studied and discovered an edition at a newsstand in Rome. The artwork was so expressive and so bold that it leapt off the newsprint. It swept me away,” Miller said in a statement.

Exclusive: There will be no second season for Cursed. Netflix quietly has canceled the fantasy series, which is based on a key character from the King Arthur legend, after one season, I have learned. The cast has been released to pursue other opportunities.
Based on Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler’s illustrated book, Cursed was a re-imagining of the Arthurian legend as told through the eyes of the young woman, played by Katherine Langford, who would become the Lady of the Lake. Cursed, whose first season was released on July 17 last year, explored such themes as obliteration of the natural world, religious zeal and oppression, senseless war and finding the courage to lead in the face of the impossible.
Miller and Wheeler executive produced. Wheeler also served as showrunner and writer. Alex Boden served as producer and Silenn Thomas as co-executive producer.

Frank Miller, creative comic book legend and co-creator of recent Netflix series Cursed, is certainly no stranger to controversy. Thus, he now finds himself hit by a lawsuit from a former co-producer, who’s seeking damages estimated as high as $25 million.
Stephen L’Heureux, a producer from 2014 sequel film Sin City: A Dame to Kill For—which Miller co-wrote and co-directed with Robert Rodriguez—is claiming economic interference and defamation in a suit against Miller and co-defendant Silenn Thomas, an associate producer on that picture, who was named CEO of Frank Miller Inc. this past August. However, this particular set of grievances centers on the alleged obstruction of would-be adaptation projects of Miller’s Dark Horse Comics-published titles, specifically 1990-1992 future-dystopian cyber-noir crime comic, Hard Boiled (pictured in the title image), and a Sin City television series, both of which L’Heureux claims to have paid total ownership for the developmental rights.

A dispute over rights to a Sin City TV series and a Hard Boiled film have turned hardcore between Cursed co-creator Frank Miller and producer Stephen L’Heureux.
Hardcore to the tune of more than $25 million, as a defamation and economic-interference lawsuit from the Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For producer is seeking. Asserting that he has long owned the relevant rights to Miller’s iconic Sin City and the 1990-debuting Hard Boiled, L’Heureux claims Miller and co-defendant Silenn Thomas have thwarted big- and small-screen adaptations with the likes of MGM and David Ellison’s Skydance Media.

Grab your monochromatic glasses and prep your throat to growl a lot, because we’re going back to Sin City, folks! And I ain’t talking about Las Vegas, either. Yeah, I’m talking about Frank Miller’s comic book series, the one that spawned the warmly received 2005 film adaptation and its sequel. And now, we’re getting another follow-up, but this time on the small screen.
The crime noir show was successfully optioned by Legendary this week, who’ve agreed to produce at least one season for a streaming service. They’re also courting the films’ co-director Robert Rodriguez to return, too, but that’s not confirmed just yet. What is confirmed, though, is that Legendary has also brought on some of Miller’s people, like Silenn Thomas and Stephen L’Heureux, the latter of whom produced A Dame To Kill For, which I’d like to forget exists.
