A small piece of inside info came in Tuesday evening as we’re exclusively told Wes Craven is getting way more involved in television production.
On the heels of the “Scream” pilot getting underway for MTV, Craven is said to be close to signing a deal with NBC/Universal Cable to produce TV for NBC/Universal cable outlets including SyFy channel.
Craven, who is the mastermind behind Freddy Krueger and A Nightmare On Elm Street, and the director of Scream, has produced a handful of horror features including remakes of The Hills Have Eyes and The Last House On the Left.
With the rise of the genre on TV, it’s pretty exciting news that one of the icons of horror will be lending his talents to the pool of small screen content that’s in development.
More as it breaks.
