'Mr. Robot' Creator Developing Miniseries Based on Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis'

[Sawyer]

THR

Like the original film, the small-screen adaptation will take place in a future society where wealthy industrialists rule the vast city from high-rise tower complexes, while a lower class of underground-dwelling workers toil constantly to operate the machines that provide its power. Risking everything they know, two star crossed lovers from opposite sides of the divide must find a way to bring down the whole system.

Trump will censor it...oh nevermind.

We have mostly caught up to Lang's Metropolis futuristic stratified society.

The TV series sound interesting. It needs to stay in dystopian genre though.

we’ll the great thing about Metropolis was how ahead of it time it was - especially the sfx.
The story has not much potential to be stretched out for 6-8 episodes….unless they change it completely
