What's going on? Until very recently a director with a reputation in the film industry appeared in a headline about a new TV series was the exception , a story of those to start with a bombshell! upper and neon letters. Out. Fincher adapting 'Utopia' for HBO , Shyamalan with his series this summer 'Wayward Pines' and Weinstein arramplando with directors as diverse as Wes Craven, Gus Van Sant or Lee Daniels and others for 'The 10 Commandments'.
Soon becoming 'The Strain' by Guillermo del Toro, Sam Mendes has a deal with Showtime development and Aronofski own but with HBO , Nicholas Winding Refn supposedly walks with her Barbarella and Steve McQueen developing two series on slavery for BBC and HBO . We could go on listing examples of how something that started to emerge a few years ago with projects like 'Broadwalk Empire', 'The Borgias' or 'Boss' has erupted last television season . Cable networks typically not risking its own production are doing, Netflix is the talk of the industry and fiction on television has gained a notoriety that increasingly takes greater account. Hollywood is losing the will to innovate as the mass is concerned, we see in film and on television, but the potential of minorities is very different in both industries.
