No Crypt Keeper Rumored For Tales From The Crypt Reboot & More

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23705:]]

Earlier saw news that TNT is rebooting Tales From The Crypt, which will have M. Night Shyamalan on board as executive producer.

Now a batch of rumors/details have hit the net from the horror site Bloody Disgusting, with the perhaps most shocking being the Crypt Keeper won’t be used.

The actor that voiced the Crypt Keeper, John Kassir, even tweeted out: “I’ll go on record, “Crypt Keeper as we know him is more popular than ever & it’d be a sham/shame not to have him host the show!!!!!” A petition to bring back the Crypt Keeper has since been launched.

As noted, it gets a lot worse:

• It’s said the new host of the show will be an old man with a cane, wearing a hood, and keeping warm by a fireplace (which admittedly, is in line with the old EC comics). 

• According to the report, the original plan (it’s unknown if things have since changed), is to have 13 episodes in the style of American Horror Story (one storyline per season).

• It’s further said the first season will be about voodoo in New Orleans (which American Horror Story already featured).

• It’s also said the Tales From The Crypt reboot won’t be a weekly anthology story, and won’t have anything to do with the comics.

• It’s scripted by the writers behing Hemlock Grove, in which the site describes as “awful.”

Titans TV Series Cancelled Because of Script

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23665:]]

Yesterday saw the news that TNT had passed on the planned DC Titans TV series.

Now Kevin Reilly, TNT’s chief creative officer tells the reason why to THR:

How much of the decision not to move forward with the DC Comics project Titans, also from Warner Bros., was based on the fact that you don’t own it?

It wasn’t. Akiva [Goldsman] is a talented guy, [but] the script just wasn’t there. There is an unbelievable glut of superhero things in the market right now and if you have a really good one, clearly people are up for it. But I just don’t think that there’s a need for one that, for me, at least on paper didn’t seem to be screaming to get made.

The Titans series was said to have been possibly in the same universe as Arrow and The Flash centering on Dick Grayson as Robin, who would eventuall have gone on to become Nightwing, and was working as a private detective in Boston. Titans was also said to include Barbara Gordon, Hawk and Dove, and Starfire, with Cyborg and Beast Boy as possibilities down the road.

There’s speculation some of the Titans characters may be featured in the WB movie universe (Cyborg is confirmed), but that’s all it’s really to be considered right now.

Titans TV Series Scrapped By TNT

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23665:]]

It’s learned the planned Titans series set for TNT isn’t happening.

Deadline reports TNT has decided not to proceed with the Teen Titans live-action series, even though it was ordered to pilot.

“We decided it wasn’t where we wanted to go,” TNT president Kevin Reilly said at TCA.

Previously released details on the Titans series include mention it may have been in the same universe as Arrow and The Flash. It was said at the start of the series, Dick Grayson was still using his Robin identity, but eventually would have gone on to become Nightwing, and was working as a private detective in Boston. The series was also said to include Barbara Gordon, Hawk and Dove, and Starfire, with Cyborg and Beast Boy as possibilities down the road.

It may be possible that WB actually scrapped the project as we do know Cyborg is a part of their movie universe. While The Flash is featured in both their movie and TV universes, WB did axe use of the Suicide Squad in TV and possibly Green Lantern. In addition, it’s reported that WB is feeling the heat as a result of the popularity of Grant Gustin, which may cause issues with the Ezra Miller version of The Flash. It’s possible WB may not want to create additional problems by having Teen Titans characters on the small and big screens simultaneously. 

Nightwing has been rumored for Batman Vs. Superman and the Ben Affleck solo Batman movie, as well as DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

M. Night Shyamalan Rebooting Tales From The Crypt For TNT

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23662:]]

M. Night Shyamalan is bringing back the popular ’90s horror anthology series Tales From The Crypt to TNT as part of a new two-hour horror themed block of programming.

Shyamalan is on board as executive producer, with the block launching this Fall; additional announcements for further series added to the block will be made in the coming months. Both short and long form content will be featured.

“This is a new genre for us in our series efforts and a great chance to partner with M. Night Shyamalan, whose blockbuster hit The Visit reminded movie audiences and critics this past summer that he truly is a master of horror,” said Sarah Aubrey, executive vice president of original programming for TNT. “This two-hour horror block demonstrates not only TNT’s commitment to working with today’s top talents, but also our strategy to stand out in today’s marketplace by challenging the conventional rules of programming and scheduling.”

Tales from the Crypt was originally a comic book, and the TV series ran on HBO from 1989 to 1996.

M. Night Shyamalan is also behind the popular Wayard Pines TV series and saw success with The Visit back in September on the big screen (good flick).

TNT’s Titans Might Begin Production This Summer

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20548:]]

First announced last September, not much has been heard about the live-action TNT Titans DC Comics TV series other than confirmation of the team from a few months ago, which will consist of: Dick Grayson as Nightwing/Robin, Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, Hank Hall and Dawn Granger as Hawk and Dove, respectively, and Rachel Roth as Starfire.

Now TNT president Kevin Reilly offers an update in that Titans may begin production this Summer following casting.

Reilly spoke with TV Line offering Titans will be “groundbreaking” and “very true” to the comic book property; Akiva Goldsman (Batman & Robin, A Beautiful Mind, Fringe) is executive producing the series and penned the pilot episode with Marc Haimes.

“Akiva’s been very busy doing some other things,” but it’s his hope that “maybe this summer” they will lock casting and ramp up production.

It’s noted that TNT is making an effort for Titans to be unique amongst the superhero landscape currently on TV.

“I sat down with Akiva and said — and he ultimately agreed — that the [TV] landscape right now is well-serviced on the superhero front. So what space is this going to inhabit? And really what he wants to do is be very true to the source material.

Reilly continues with mention of just how groundbreaking Titans was in the comics.

“There were consequences to things that happened; it wasn’t somebody died and they moved on. There was the first superhero to be an addict [in Roy Harper’s Speedy]. It’s a coming-of-age story for Robin, who feels like Batman has betrayed him.”

Previous character details on Titans revealed at the start of the series/pilot Dick Grayson will still be using his Robin identity, but will eventually become Nightwing, and has been working as a private detective in Boston; Barbara Gordon will be wheel-chair bound and will be the team’s hacker; Hawk and Dove are said to be in a relationship; Starfire is said to appear at the end of the pilot and involved in a love triangle with Nightwing and Batgirl.

Regarding Cyborg and Beast Boy, it was stated they don’t show up in the pilot, but it’s possible to include them eventually.

It’s also been said Titans may be in the same universe as Arrow and The Flash.
