Syfy has a pretty full plate coming up of material and they’re delving into the comics realm a bit with the pickup of Frank Miller’s graphic novel Ronin. Originally published in 1983 when creators were starting to flex their muscles a bit with out of the box material, the property will brought to the Syfy channel as a miniseries in 2015. No determination has been made for the length of the miniseries and a writer is being sought for it. Miller has had a few of his works adapted into movies but this would mark the first one being made into a TV series of some sort.
Plot concept: In this tale of a legendary warrior, the Ronin, a dishonored, masterless 13th century samurai, is mystically given a second chance to avenge his master’s death. Finding himself suddenly reborn in a futuristic and corrupt 21st century New York City, the samurai discovers he has one last chance to regain his honor. But to do so, he must defeat the reincarnation of his master’s killer, the ancient demon Agat. In a time and place both foreign and unfathomable to him, the Ronin stands against his greatest enemy with his life and more importantly, his soul at stake.
