Member AlbertV Posted October 17, 2019 Member Share Posted October 17, 2019 HBO has picked up a series adaptation of Maniac Cop, which originally was to have been conceived as a reboot of the original 1988 horror classic that starred the late Robert Z'Dar as Matt Cordell, a psychotic police officer who randomly kills people and ends up as one of the undead in two sequels in 1990 and 1991. Nicolas Winding Refn, who was to have produced the long-developed reboot, will be in charge of the series along with John Hyams. Both helmers will executive produce and direct episodes with Refn serving as showrunner: “Set in Los Angeles, Maniac Cop is told through a kaleidoscope of characters, from cop to common criminal. A killer in uniform has uncaged mayhem upon the streets. Paranoia leads to social disorder as a city wrestles with the mystery of the exterminator in blue – is he mere mortal, or a supernatural force?” William Lustig, who directed the 1988 original film, will also come in as executive producer.
