Keven Smith is no stranger to the comic book community. From writing stories on characters such as Green Arrow and Batman to his famous story of his Superman script that almost was. A while ago I posted that Smith was looking to do a reality show that was being described as Pawn Stars for nerds. AMC has picked up the show for six one hour episodes. Smith will serve as executive producer along side Charlie Corwin’s Original Media and Elyse Seiden. The series will revolve around the daily life in a comic book shop, featuring the employees and customers and would also show off valuable comic books and comic book movie memorabilia.
Said Smith in a released Statement:
"Draper. Meth. Zombies. This show couldn't be on a better network. AMC is to television what Miramax was to cinema back when I first got in the game: they're the premier destination for any story-teller looking to spin an offbeat yarn that no other outlet has the stones to touch.”
AMC senior vp original programming, Joel Stillerman, also commented saying:
“The comic book store is, in many ways, the corner bar for comic book fans. It is still this place where everybody knows your name, and you can go and geek out with like minded people. If I lived closer, I’d want to hang out at here.”
The show is tentatively being called
Secret Stash after the comic book shop in which Smith owns. The series is scheduled to premiere some time in early 2012.
