It was reported last November that Sam Raimi and Rob Tabert were working on the TV adaptation but the series had no home yet. Deadline is reporting that Starz has officially picked up the project. Raimi and Tabert, who are also executive producers of Starz's Spartacus:Blood and Sand; Gods of the Arena will share executive producer titles on the new series. No casting news yet.



From Spinoff
Sam Raimi and partner Rob Tapert are developing a live action television adaptation of a Japanese crime anime about two female assassins who must work together to discover the secret behind their mysterious link. There is almost no way this won’t be awesome.

The series, Noir, ran for 26 episodes in 2001, and sounds like the assassin version of JJ Abrams’ Alias, with its two anti-heroines finding out that their lives are being run by a shadowy organization that’s at least a millennium old.

I watched it for a few eps but then it got too weird for me. Could be a cool live adaption though, with the right SFX.

@GraphicCity, I'm not especially familiar with the series, but I thought it was an action-thriller.Does the series require SFX?

It was a really good anime! for a few episodes... then it gets reallllllllly dull. The first few were about assassinating various people... then it got dull once the "plot" was introduced :/
