“The Last of the Mohicans” is being adapted yet again, this time for television by Cary Fukunaga. Currently at work on “Bond 25,” the “True Detective” and “Maniac” helmer is teaming with Nicole Kassell (who’s also directing the “Watchmen” pilot for HBO) to bring James Fenimore Cooper’s novel to Paramount Television. Fukunaga will co-write with Nicholas Osborne, with Kassel directing. Deadline first broke the news.
“The clash of civilizations during the Seven Years War, which frames the story of Last of the Mohicans, has been a long-time passion of mine,” Fukunaga said in a statement. “It was a world war before the term even existed. The opportunity to recreate the story’s strong-willed and free-thinking characters, with talents including Nick Osborne and Nicole Kassell, is incredibly exciting to me. Together with Paramount TV and Anonymous Content, we have the chance to revive the forgotten ancestors that define American identity today.
