Status: This series is in development for SyFy as a miniseries. Pitch: Ancient Japanese spirits invade a successful biotech firm in the future, with complex and ultimately explosive results. Odds of Success Onscreen: Fairly strong. This is early Frank Miller, which usually screens better than late Frank Miller, but it is a wild dystopian epic, clearly influenced by Akira as much as anything else, which may make it challenging to follow.
