Locke & Key, #Amblin Television

Bringing the massive Stephen King/Peter Straub horror book The Talisman to the screen (whether being it the big or the small) has been on Spielberg's To-Do list for a long long time. The recent success Amblin Television had (and has) with the translation of one of Stephen King’s other book titles, Under the Dome, however has lit the spark once more, so hopefully we will be able to take a closer look at the dark parallel world of Jack Sawyer in the very near future.

However, Stephen King isn’t the only person in the King family writing at this moment. Both his wife (Tabitha) and his sons (Owen King and Joe Hill) have had success in writing.

Joe’s writing comes closest to that of his father and so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that his work has been transferred to film and TV as well. Last year his novel Horns received the Hollywood treatment, but that wasn’t the first time. His Graphic Novel-series Locke & Key (An adventure series centered around three children who become the caretakers of a New England mansion that is home to a bevy of secrets and magic.) which has been published from 2008 till 2013, was the subject of a TV-Movie in 2011, produced by Amblin and DreamWorks Television.

Until this day, there hasn’t been a follow-up even though the graphic novel series (and the trailer) are crying for more, so let’s hope that one day this story will be continued.

I'll keep you posted.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut...
