The Last of the Mohicans TV series

Posted on 4/12/19 at 8:23 am
It's been announced that MANIAC and THE ALIENIST creative Cary Joji Fukunaga will be joining forces with WATCHMEN and CASTLE ROCK director Nicole Kassell for a television series presentation of THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS. Based on the historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper, The Last of the Mohicans was previously adapted for the silver screen by director Michael Mann. Enigmatic actor Daniel Day-Lewis and 12 MONKEYS standout Madeleine Stowe starred in the 1992 action-drama, which centered on three trappers who protect the daughters of a British Colonel in the midst of the French and Indian War. The new Mohicans project is being developed by Paramount Television, where Fukunaga has an overall deal. Meanwhile, Anonymous Content and Fukunaga’s Parliament of Owls are producing.
Should this be remade into a TV series? Your thoughts....

Last of the Mohicans is in a series of books so there is plenty of material.
A deep dive into that time period would be interesting as well.

I'm down to watch it
Although with the recent media backlash over the "cowboys and indians" shite, hopefully they don't go crazy PC with it

I just hope they make it as epic as the 1992 film. It's definitely one of my top 5 films of all time.

Isn't there like 15 minutes when no one speaks its just running fighting and the GOAT soundtrack?

Whoever plays Natty better start training on the Mohican 2000 (youtube).

As long as the show buys the rights to the films score and uses it, I'm down. You could show Walgreen's surveillance footage and set that music to it and it would be the most epic shite.
Fukinaga is on board, that's good. But Mann basically built a working 18th century military camp and settlement in the absolute middle of the nowhere blue Ridge mountains for that film. It just can't be duplicated.

Sure it can. Nothing in that area has changed one iota since the filming.

Just use that same sound track from the movie which is one of the best ever.

Color me skeptical that Hollywood can make a period piece with infusing it with "modern sensibilities".

Sounds great. Loved the movie and love this period of history.
Really good book during this time frame and the Ohio Valley is “The Frontiersmen” by Allen W Eckert. Simon Kenton, Simon Girty, Tecumseh, Yellow Jacket, Daniel Boone, etc. were primary characters and would make a great movie or series.
