Todd McFarlane is, of course, the Executive Producer. Fitzgerald is the producer. The show, still in the early stages of development, is simply called The Terror . Comics2Film spoke with Terry Fitzgerald of McFarlane about the development. It looks like Paramount TV has come on board as the studio for the series and we can't be more happy with that.
Plans are to shoot the show early next year.
Fitzgerald told C2F that they are hoping for a Fall 2001 debut, but it's too early to say for sure at this point. We first heard about the show months ago and were told that the show might be based on The Black Terror comics. The Black Terror first appeared in comics in the early 1940's. The concept was completely revamped in the late 1980's by McFarlane Director of Publishing Beau Smith, Chuck Dixon and Dan Brereton. Smith and Dixon own the rights to their version of the character.
