Locke & Key Goes to Series

by Silas Lesnick

Fox gives the adaptation a full season order

Variety reports that Locke & Key has been given a full series order by Fox, who will air the show as an hourlong genre drama. Steven Spielberg, who was previously attached as a producer, is no longer involved with the adaptation of the Joe Hill comic book series.

Distributed by IDW Publishing, 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.

Alex Kurtzman, Robert Orci and Josh Friedman ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") will write and produce.

Sweet that Spielberg is off the project. he is a raper of good stories anymore. Just look at Indiana Jones.

I think Lucas was more to blame for Indy's shortcomings in the 4th. Didn't Lucas reject the initial script that Spielberg wanted to do?

Regardless, I still think its a bad omen for Spielberg to bail on any upcoming project. If it were Lucas.. um, who cares? Let him go ruin the Star Wars universe some more.

Actually, the Dude, it took three. Actually Speilburg and Ford had a script they both loved, but Lucas didn't like it, and kept making changes. Eventually Speilburg and Ford just gave up and went with what ever Lucas wanted.

Thing is Lucas is like that. He never likes a script unless its his own.

He's sort of just this big pushy kid everyone's afraid to upset -even his own friends. They just roll their eyes and turn their heads away(watch some of the behind the scenes stuff from the prequels, Rick McCallum's reactions to the stuff Lucas says are hilarious)

Oh and I meant to say:

Spielberg isn't scott free in this either though. He hasn't made, or even really produced, a really good -any thing- in a really long time. But, at the same time, he doesn't really need to does he? I mean.. He can just rest on his former glory and never do it, or even do it well, again.

Frankly he got lucky ending up who he is and that we even care at all any more.
