Actress Samantha Mathis (Super Mario Bros., FernGully: The Last Rainforest) recently gave an interview to Cultured Vultures (via Bloody-Disgusting) and revealed that Hulu has passed on their planned version of a Locke & Key TV show:
Before we recount the troubled history of this project, here’s the official synopsis of Hill’s comic, which ran from 2008 until 2013:
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…! Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box) creates an all-new story of dark fantasy and wonder, with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez.
A year later, Universal considered adapting the comic series into a movie trilogy with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Transformers, Fringe) writing. But that ultimately didn’t happen, and the project fell into development hell yet again.
