Speilberg, Kurtzman and Orci Developing LOCKE & KEY TV Series Adaptation
According to Vulture Joe Hill's comic Locke & Key is no longer on the road to becoming a feature film. The graphic novel is now being adapted into a television series, and it's got some very solid talent developing the project. Steven Spielberg, Alex Kurtzman, Robert Orci and Josh Friedman are all involved with bringing this story to life on the small screen.
Friedman (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) will write and produce. Kurtzman and Orci recently signed a deal with 20th Century Fox TV, so the studio will end up producing with Spielberg's DreamWorks TV. There's a lot of great talent involved with bringing this story to life, and I think it's going to end up being a pretty awesome production. I'm excited for this.
Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them…. and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all…! Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box) creates an all-new story of dark fantasy and wonder, with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez. Hill has received the Bram Stoker Award for Best Fiction Collection, the British Fantasy Award for Best Collection and Best Short Story, and the Sydney J. Bounds Best Newcomer Award-2007, among his growing collection of critical accolades.
Heres a little trailer for the comic that you to check out. And in case you didn't know already, Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King.
