‘Citizen’ and ‘When the Street Lights Go On’: Hulu Announces Two More Impressive Series!
Hulu are sending to genre shows directly to pilot, says Variety.
After already getting my mouth to water over Stephen King’s “11.22.63” and the cult drama “The Path, starring Aaron Paul, the streaming service is expected to make formal pilot orders soon for “Citizen” from “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, and ’80s-set thriller “When the Street Lights Go On,” which was originally intended to be a feature film a few years back.
Marking Gomez-Rejon’s writing debut, along with scribes Josh Pate and Nicholas Schutt, “Citizen” is described as a fresh take on the hero origin story blending elements of magical realism and gritty vigilantism set against the backdrop of a vibrant, “supernaturalized” Los Angeles.
“When the Street Lights Go On,” also from Paramount TV and Anonymous Content, is based on the Black List feature script from writers Chris Hutton and Eddie O’Keefe, which was being developed as a film by Anonymous back in 2012. Now re-tooled for a series, the coming-of-age thriller is about a sleepy, suburban town that is rocked by the brutal murder of a high school girl and her teacher in the summer of 1983.
Brett Morgen, who was also attached to the project in the film stage, will direct the pilot episode and will serve as exec producer alongside Hutton and O’Keefe.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
