Mance Media is a company that “acquires licenses, co-produces and co-finances a wide-range of programming†and might have their eyes on ‘Resident Evil’ for a television series. Recently they ran the following pitch:
Inspired by the Resident Evil franchise, ARKLAY is a new scripted survival horror series that delves into the mysterious homicides of Raccoon City.
When Detective James Reinhardt is thrust into a series of bizarre homicides, he unravels the city is hiding a dark conspiracy. Learning a fatal virus is connected to it all, Reinhardt discovers it’s already coursing through him. With time no longer on his side, he must solve the conspiracy to save his own life.
What direction would they want to go with the show? Well, they’ve included a pitch reel (“A pitch reel uses pre-existing footage from other media to express the desired tone for the final product.”) so you’ll get an idea on which series that are already out there to provide the feel for what they are looking to do.
SO a lot of the suspense from ‘Hannibal’ which could have promise but I’m not sure if that is the right tone that would work for it.
