Dark Horse Entertainment to produce the Tanis TV series?
Dark Horse Entertainment, the comics publisher that's brought us everything from Hellboy to the recent adaptation of American Gods, already had a TV development deal through Universal Cable Productions. Now that first-look deal has been renewed, and several new projects have been revealed.
The biggest name to come up as part of this announcement? Sam Raimi, the Evil Dead creator who's been a regular fixture in genre television for decades. Raimi will produce Tanis, a TV project based on the hit genre podcast of the same name, which will be developed by Lee Shipman (The Son) and podcast showrunner Terry Miles. A spinoff of the smash hit Black Tapes podcast, Tanis is part conspiracy thriller, part ancient mystery and totally addictive.
Ugh. Really? The worst part is that there's a 100% chance that I'll watch it, steadily getting angrier and angrier as anything fails to happen and Nick becomes less and less a character and more and more Terry Miles' wet-dream image of himself.
