A Fistful of Dollars is being adapted as a TV series from a former Game of Thrones writer
-
The 1964 classic Spaghetti Western from director Sergio Leone, based on Akira Kurosawa's 1961 film Yojimbo, marked Clint Eastwood's first leading role. The Mark Gordon Company has acquired the rights to A Fistful of Dollars and Yojimbo and has tapped Emmy-winning Game of Thrones writer-producer Bryan Cogman to adapt the story into a TV series. "Yojimbo and its shot-for-shot remake A Fistful of Dollars, tell the story of a wandering stranger, ‘The Man With No Name,’ who comes to a town riddled with violence, and uses wit and skill to trick the town’s competing gangs into destroying each other," per Deadline. "The series will pull from this source material for an original, contemporary retelling of the story."
