Del Toro developing 'Monster' for HBO

[Marzan]

Always have thought that Monster could work very well as live action, provided it got a series format. And the del Toro/HBO partnership might just be ideal to get this right. I hope it get's greenlighted and if not, that it at least develops enough of a buzz for Viz or someone else to release the entirety of the anime series on DVD.

Done right this could be amazing.

I admire Del Toro's work but this would be a really hard one to pull off. HBO is also the perfect choice as well, not sure regular network TV would be able to do it justice.
