Del Toro and HBO to make Monster TV series

[mameks]

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

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.

HBO... show running for 10 years.... very little danger of that one.

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.
