Aronofsky’s HBO Series Moving to AMC
Posted by Todd Brown at 2:13pm.
Posted in TV , Horror, USA & Canada.
It was a couple years back that word began to circulate that director Darren Aronofsky was developing a horror themed series for HBO. At the time it seemed like great news as HBO was totally dominating the specialty TV world and seemingly unable to do wrong. A couple years later they’ve done plenty of wrong, the best specialty shows are all elsewhere and now word is that they’ve let this go, too. Titled Riverview Towers the show has just moved to AMC, where it continues the development process. The show revolves around a family that moves into an apartment building plagued by paranormal activity, which opens all sorts of interesting avenues to explore.
I have two responses to this. First, what on earth is going on at HBO? All of their best properties are done and they’re not developing much of note to replace them. Second, AMC is readily available on regular cable here in Canada while HBO is not available at all, so hurray!

AMC? Are you serious? They used to be decent back when TCM was still getting it’s stuff together, but then they started doing commercials, then marathon screenings of American Movie Classics like “Speed” - and IIRC they’ve never been one for original aspect ratio either. Sad.

I agree, the channel doesn’t inspire much, but Mad Men is a good show and so’s Breaking Bad… so maybe this isn’t the end of the world.
Aronofsky has batted a 1000 so far in my book and if anyone else was doing a miniseries about a haunted hotel/apartment building I’d simply roll my eyes.
In his hands, if the network doesn’t throttle the process, who knows, it could be awesome!

Exactly. AMC’s original content has been quite good.

isn’t this about vampires? that’s what the source material from which he’s adapting says....
