Mr.Robot Showrunner Sam Esmail To Reboot Fritz Lang's Metropolis

Sam Esmail seems to be able to do no wrong lately. After his first TV series Mr.Robot became the most talked about new show last year, he decided to follow it up with a second season which he both wrote and directed.

Now it seems he wants to adapt one of the seminal works of film history into a TV show, Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.

Metropolis was a film which came out in 1927 set in an industrial dystopia and follows the lives of two people who represent the class struggle and how hard it is for those at the bottom to get ahead, while those at the top have it so easy.
