RONINがＴＶシリーズに
Yahoo!News - 'Ronin' Mercenary Drama Headed to Small Screen : By Scott Roxborough
CANNES, France (Hollywood Reporter) - "Ronin," John Frankenheimer's 1998 mercenary spy drama, is headed to the small screen as an hourlong TV series under development by Canada's Incendo Prods. and German-based Action Concept. The series, announced by the two companies at the MIPTV conference on Monday, will follow the adventures of an international team of freelancing agents who take on jobs too hot for regular spies to handle. The MGM film featured an all-star cast including Robert De Niro, Jean Reno, Sean Bean, Stellan Skarsgard and Natascha McElhone. The TV series, budgeted at around $1.3 million per episode, will be shot in English in Germany and Canada, with production set to begin this fall. Recently launched production and distribution venture GRB Worldwide will handle international sales on the project. Action Concept will hold all German rights to the series, with Incendo retaining all Canadian rights.
ドイツとカナダの共同製作（言語は英語）で、秋から撮影開始、1エピソードあたりの予算は130万ドル…って高いんですかね、やっぱり。どんな作品になるんでしょう。
【追記】ショーンの名前が入っているところはMGM映画の方の解説で、今回のＴＶシリーズに映画版のオリジナルキャストが出るわけではありません。ショーンが役も新たに登場、という話なら勿論歓迎ですが。笑
