Universal bringing Grant Morrison’s Sinatoro to the small screen

July 28, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Universal Television has announced that it is teaming up with Depth of Field and Black Mask Studios to bring Grant Morrison and Vanesa R. Del Rey’s forthcoming Black Mask comic series Sinatoro to the small screen, from a pilot script by Morrison and American Odyssey and Heroes’ Adam Armus & Kay Foster.

SINATORO tells of a soldier on a strange mission that takes him into a sinister landscape of American mythologies, melding the Tibetan Book of the Dead with the Great American Road Movie for Morrison’s masterwork on Life, Death, and America. Armus, Foster, and Morrison’s script is a faithful adaptation of the long anticipated work that has been a passion project of Morrison’s for years.

“Sinatoro reimagines American pop culture as a whole new mythology,” states Morrison. “It’s about life, death, sex, romance and everything in between. This is one of my favorite stories and I’m excited to see it finding new life as a television series where we have more opportunity and potential to develop the ideas and characters.”

“Grant, Mortimer, and I have been discussing Sinatoro since as far back as 2012,” adds Black Mask’s Matt Pizzolo. “The question was always how to build a canvas big enough to faithfully encompass the brilliant world Grant had envisioned. This has become a shared obsession over years with more and more creative collaborators falling in love with Grant’s vision and diving in to help build it. Bringing on Depth Of Field and finding the incredible Adam and Kay were the critical components that finally brought this mad vision into reality. It’s a true blessing to get to work with such a world-class team on such an ambitious adventure.”
