If he's going to do film, he's going to do it his way.So to make the cinematic leap, the British fantasy wizard has teamed up with director Mitch Jenkins for a non-linear, multi-platform TV series called The Show. Produced by Lex Projects, the occult, noir-flecked, Twin Peaks-ish films are Moore's first work written specifically for the screen, and explore a strange alternate universe in Moore's hometown of Northampton, a place he calls "Nighthampton."
