TV: ABC Gets The Keys To “666 Park Avenue”
At the very least, it sounds like “666 Park Avenue” has kind of a killer premise. It’s about a young couple who move from the midwest to NYC and discover that the apartment building they’ve agreed to manage is filled with people who have made deals with the Devil.
And then you find out that ABC is working with the producers of “Gossip Girl” and “The Vampire Diaries” to bring this to you and you wonder if they might play it all for surface value.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, “From Warner Bros. Television and Alloy, ‘666 Park’ is based on the book series by Gabriella Pierce. Like the books, the drama centers on an innocent couple from the midwest that moves to New York and gets hired to be resident managers of a building on the Upper East Side. There, unbeknownst to the couple, the residents have all unwittingly made deals with the Devil to have their deepest needs, ambitions and desires fulfilled. David Wilcox is attached to adapt the project.”
What do you think? Can this team bring us something special or will it just be a quickly fizzling soap?
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
