‘Corto Maltese’ Graphic Novels Set for Live-Action Series From Italy’s ‘Winx’ Creator Rainbow Group (EXCLUSIVE)
Italy’s ‘Winx’ creator Rainbow has announced a 'Corto Maltese' live-action series under a deal that includes licensing rights to the novels.
Italy’s Rainbow Group – the company led by Iginio Straffi, creator of the hit “ Winx Club ” animation franchise – is set to launch into the high seas with a live-action series adaptation of Hugo Pratt’s “ Corto Maltese ” graphic novels. Pratt, whose real name was Ugo Eugenio Prat, is legendary figure in the international comic book community, best known for his work on “Corto Maltese,” the long-running historical adventure strip that ran in a number of European publications from 1967-1989. In 2022, it was announced that U.S. comic writer, artist and film director Frank Miller — the man behind “The Dark Knight Returns” and “300” — would adapt “Corto Maltese” into a live-action limited series for France’s StudioCanal.
