Fox is finalizing a deal for one of the first major pieces of development this coming development cycle, a Steven Spielberg-produced adaptation of the graphic novel Locke & Key. The project from writer Josh Friedman and producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, hails from 20th Century Fox TV, where Kurtzman and Orci’s company is based, and DreamWorks TV where the project originated on the feature side.
Locke & Key will be written by Friedman who will also serve as showrunner. Based on Joe Hill’s comic published by IDW Publishing, the project centers on Keyhouse, an unlikely New England family estate where brothers Tyler, Kinsey and Bode Locke uncover fantastic doors that transform all who walk through them and a hate-filled and relentless creature. Friedman, Kurtzman, Orci, Spielberg and DreamWorks TV’s Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank are executive producing along with IDW CEO Ted Adams.

You know, right, that Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son? Sentence by sentence, he’s a better writer, but not nearly as much fun. His story collection, “20th Century Ghosts”, is a knockout. You might also want to mention that the “Locke & Key” series is illustrated by Gabriel Rodriquez. In comics, the illustrator is more important than the storyteller.
because that’s why nobody cares who Mark Millar, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Brian K Vaughn, and Frank Miller are, and everyone knows the artists who drew their books are
another thing that would work better as a tv show. though not happy to see fox going after it since they have shown that they do not know how to handle shows like lock and key will be. and sadly lock and key will have a short life if fox gets it.
yeah….FOX sucks….nuff said
Joe Hill is Steven King’s son, BTW
“…uncover fantastic doors that transform all who walk through them and a hate-filled and relentless creature”. Ok, so they’re coming out with a TV show about what happens when you make a deal with the Devil and become successful in Hollywood? I hear the working title is “The Ashton Kutcher Story”
“…uncover fantastic doors that transform all who walk through them…”
In the UK this show is already known as “mr Benn”
Well, maybe you shouldn’t get your facts wrong. True Tyler and Bode are brothers, but Kinsey is their sister.
omg the school that they r at is mine
