Locke & Key Film Adaptation Lands @ Universal

Universal Pictures has optioned the haunted house comic Locke & Key for the big screen as a film trilogy says THR.


Set in a small Massachusetts village, the story follows a mother and her three children who move into their family estate after her husband is murdered. The vast estate has many areas only accessible by special keys. A malevolent force within the house lures the husband's killer to the town to finish off the rest of the family.

Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez created the comic which was originally going to be adapted by "Transformers" and "Star Trek" scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman into a single feature.

In 2011, the FOX Broadcasting Company decided not to order a series adaptation. This even as a Mark Romanek-directed pilot starring Miranda Otto, Nick Stahl and Jesse McCartney was produced and got high marks from reviewers who saw it.

Ted Adams, Kurtzman, Orci and Bobby Cohen will produce.
