IDW Entertainment has
announced today the development of author/creator Joe Hill's award-winning
comic book series Locke & Key to television. Hill will be writing the pilot
and executive producing the series.
"I love this story," said Hill. "The
seven years I spent working on Locke & Key was
the happiest creative experience of my life and there still isn’t a day when I
don’t think about those characters and miss visiting with them. The six books
of the series are very like six seasons of a cable TV series and so it feels
only natural to bring that world to the little screen and to see if we can’t
scare the pants off viewers everywhere."
Locke & Key follows
the Locke family as they encounter magic beyond belief and evil beyond
redemption at Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion with fantastic doors,
and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it
forces open the most terrible door of them all.
Ted Adams and David Ozer from
IDW Entertainment, and David Alpert and Rick Jacobs from Circle of
Confusion (The Walking Dead) will serve
as executive producers alongside Joe.
"Having Joe at the helm of the pilot ensures that
the series will hold true to the brand that fans around the world have come to
love. Locke &
Key is a true global
franchise", said David Ozer, President of IDW Entertainment.
IDW Entertainment is developing Locke
& Key as a
straight to series and will maintain worldwide rights to the project.
Hill's Horns novel was adapted to the big screen in 2013
with Daniel Radcliffe, Max Minghella, and Juno Temple starring.
