Locke & Key, a comic book series written by Joe Hill, illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez and published by IDW Publishing, follows three teenage brothers, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode Locke, who move to a Massachusetts mansion where they find the mystical Ghost Door which grants them powers, including the ability to separate his spirit from body and to transport between different worlds. The modern (2008-present) comic book is about to undergo a transformation with some HUGE names at the helm. A few months back, writers Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman (Fringe, Star Trek, Transformers) were approached to write a screenplay for a movie adaptation of the series. After much speculation, Vulture breaks news that the series will be adapted for television. In addition to Orci & Kurtzman, Steven Spielberg will serve as executive producer (via DreamWorks TV) and Josh Friedman, who was the showrunner of the dearly missed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, will write and exec produce. Oh and you knnow Joe Hill, the writer of the comic book? He just happens to be Steven King’s son. 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks TV will back the venture. Now the wait begins to see which network is willing to scoop up all this talent and greenlight the production process.
