Locke & Key to Head to MTV?

Much like showrunner Josh Friedman’s last show, Locke & Key just refuses to give up. According to a report from Deadline tonight, MTV is interested in picking up the show after its failure to be picked up by Fox for the fall season. The Mark Romanek directed pilot has been since shopped around to various other networks, including Syfy, but all eventually passed on the project. However, a screener DVD of the pilot was delivered to MTV’s chief of programming, who is reportedly very interested in the project. No actual negotiations between MTV and the executive staff have occurred.

After seeing the pilot at SDCC this year, I know Dane was vastly disappointed the show didn’t go to series, but it know looks like there could be a second chance for it to live on. Much like Deadline writes in the article, I am concerned about the potential budget for the show, as it seemed to a major reason why it didn’t get picked up by Syfy. What do you think? Are you excited hear there’s a chance the show could live on?

We never got around to posting the trailer for the series, so here it is for you to check out for the first time or to watch over again.

Deadman to Come Alive on CW

While his planned adaptation of the Neil Gaiman’s Sandman didn’t ever take off, the CW has again turned to Supernatural creator Eric Kripke to launch a comic TV series to fill the void Smallville left. According to a report from Deadline, Kripke will now turn his attention to the character of Deadman. The show will be produced by Warner Bros. TV.

Deadman is the alter-ego of Boston Brand, who has the power to control other people by taking control of their bodies. Deadman has received much attention this year, as he was one of the major characters in DC’s Brightest Day mini-series.

If there’s a person that can handle the more . . . er . . . supernatural elements of Deadman, it’s certainly Kripke. I’m more interested in this show than any of the other projects that Warner has been trying to adapt for the CW. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.

Frank Darabont Out as The Walking Dead Showrunner?

Shocking news tonight as Deadline is reporting that Frank Darabont has left The Walking Dead and will no long serve as showrunner for the series. The news comes as a shocker considering production is already underway for Season 2 and because Darabont showed up at the panel for the show last week during San Diego Comic-Con. However, Deadline says that there are talks to keep him around in some capacity. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about creative staff changes on the show and it’s unclear at this time whether or not Glen Mazzara (Darabont’s #2 on the show) will take over.

I’ll be keeping my eye on Twitter tonight, as I’m sure The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman will have something to say regarding the matter. We’ll update as news breaks.
