TV: Fox Orders ‘Locke & Key’ Pilot Episode!
After it was originally acquired by Dimension for feature film adaptation, I’ve been reading Joe Hill’s (Stephen King’s son) breathtaking and captivating “Locke & Key,” a super creepy, magical genre blender that’s now greenlit for a TV series over at Fox. From DreamWorks TV and exec producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the project had already been given a series commitment from Fox, but this now cements the plan to shoot a pilot. The hourlong is being adapted by scribe Josh Friedman, who created “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” for Fox. Hill’s original “Locke and Key” graphic novel series is about brothers who live in a mysterious New England mansion where a slew of magical keys are discovered. This is huge news on the heels of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” season premiere this Sunday — maybe “Preacher” is next?
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
