DC Comics And Fox Now Developing A Series Starring SANDMAN Character LUCIFER
DC Comics have now turned to Sandman character Lucifer for one of their next small screen projects. Fox - who are airing Gotham - have given it a pilot order, and more details can be found here...
According to Deadline, Fox have given a pilot commitment to Lucifer, with Californication creator and executive producer Tom Kapinos attached to develop the project for DC Comics and Warner Bros. The character was a supporting player in Neil Gaiman's Sandman (which Joseph Gordon-Levitt and David S. Goyer are currently trying to bring to the big screen), but he would later get his own pretty popular spin-off. The site adds that the TV series which Kapinos is also writing, "centers on Lucifer who, bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the gorgeous, shimmering insanity of Los Angeles, where he opens an exclusive piano bar called Lux." This Fall will see Arrow, Constantine, The Flash and Gotham all on TV, with Supergirl and a Nightwing led Titans series also on the way. Lucifer's adventures have taken place on Earth, Heaven and in a number of other realms, though how much of this the TV show will delve into remains to be seen. How do you guys feel about this latest DC Comics TV series?
