Black Mask Studios & Imperative Entertainment Are Bringing Mayday To TV
Imperative Entertainment, the company run by Heroes creator Tim Kring as well as Dan Friedkin, Farrelly Brothers producer Bradley Thomas, and Zak Kadison, have joined forces with Black Mask Studios for a scripted TV adaptation of Mayday. Written by, Curt Pires (Pop, Theremin), with art by Chris Peterson (Grindhouse, upcoming Broken World), Mayday takes place in the underbelly of the Hollywood scene, where a washed-up, drug-addicted screenwriter and a transgender bartender stumble onto a Satanic cult's plan to sacrifice people all across LA and bring on Armageddon. As the damaged heroes embark on a suicide mission to stop the crazy cultists, they begin to wonder if this is all really happening or if they're just plain crazy.
The intent of the series is to adapt the material for a scripted television series. Mayday marks Black Mask's latest foray into TV, joining the adaptations of Steve Niles and Christopher Mittens' The Disciples in development with Wes Craven at Universal Cable Productions, and Frank Barbiere and Chris Mooneyham's Five Ghosts in development with UCP and BenderSpink at Syfy where Evan Daugherty (Snow White And The Huntsman) is writing the pilot. Imperative Entertainment sees Mayday as a perfect fit for their multi-platform business model, which includes the ability to finance the series, feature films, book series, and video games. With a plot like that, it's easy to envision it as a TV show. You can look for Mayday #1 in stores now!
