Dark City creator Alex Proyas has indicated that his dystopian feature film may be the inspiration for a TV series.

His new short film Mask of the Evil Apparition is playing as part of the Popcorn Frights Film Festival and seems part of a similar world. “A young woman with no memory searches a deserted nocturnal city looking for something or someone. Only problem is she can’t remember who or what. She encounters twin brothers who may be her salvation, but one of them warns her that the “Mysterious Ones,” a nefarious group of clones, are after her. Another woman in disguise also offers to help, but can she be trusted?”

In the Q and A accompanying the screening, Proyas notes, “Dark City right now is really an intriguing one to me because we’re developing a series, a Dark City Series which we’re in the very early stages [of] but I’m having to reanalyse in order to construct a new story. I’m having to go back and kind of jog my memory as to what we actually did and what I think worked and what I think didn’t work and re-evaluate my own film, so that’s been a very interesting experience as well which I’ve not done before.”
