LOCKE AND KEY May Be Heading To The Big Screen; Second POWERS Pilot Fails To Impress FX

Locke And Key looks set to finally find a home on the big screen as a TRILOGY, while the second pilot of Powers has reportedly once again left FX bosses underwhelmed, meaning we may never see the Brian Michael Bendis adaptation on television.

According to the folks over at Latino-Review, Universal have decided to bring Locke And Key to the big screen as a trilogy. Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go) helmed a TV pilot which wasn't picked up despite a well-received SDCC screening, but it's not known at this point whether he would have any sort of involvement with the films. The adaptation will reportedly be written and produced by Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci (Star Trek). In related news, another TV pilot which has apparently failed to impress network bosses is the SECOND pilot episode of Brian Michael Bendis' Powers. It seems as if this is one project which may never find success. After all, it's hard to imagine that FX will want to spend money on giving it a third chance. Be sure to sound off with your thoughts on this news in the usual place.

UPDATE: Brian Michael Bendis has now taken to his Twitter account to deny these reports and says that "FX'll announce stuff when ready". We'll see...

I think that news about Powers might be untrue. All the actors were released from their roles earlier this year and it's very unlikely they'd have been able to recast and shoot a new pilot without anyone being aware of it. We would have heard if new actors had been brought aboard the project.

I'm full of joy at any setback for bendis. Hopefully he gets fired on every comic and takes years off to recharge.

Well, Lock & Key got passed as a pilot only to land on the big screen...there's still hope for powers.

Why keep trying for those network executives..screen the pilot for another network & see if they want to pick it up for a series.

Powers should translate well to television..get it done.
