Dimension Loses Rights to Joe Hill’s Awesome ‘Locke & Key’ Comic!
Thank God! One of the best new comic series I’ve had the pleasure of reading is Joe Hill’s (Stephen King’s son) Locke & Key, which was originally set up at Dimension. As we all know, Dimension is in serious financial trouble making me believe this project would never get the go-ahead. Great news from the boys over at Latino Review who report that Dimension lost the rights (shocker) and that “writers and producers extraordinaire, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Latino!) have been granted the rights and will produce the project through their DreamWorks deal. They will make LOCKE and KEY into the next big franchise, te juro!” Hot damn! If you haven’t picked up these books yet, I highly recommend. The story revolves around a trio of children who become the caretakers of Keyhouse, a mansion in New England that is full of secrets and magic. The kids discover doors that take them to different places, give them powers and even alter gender and skin color. Behind one door is a dangerously violent creature.

Erotic Survival Thriller ‘Bone Lake’ Sets October Theatrical Release Date
Bleecker Street has acquired the US rights to Bone Lake, setting an October 10 theatrical release date.
The darkly comedic, erotic survival thriller is directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan (Spoonful of Sugar) and written by Joshua Friedlander (Holly Slept Over).
A couple’s romantic vacation at a secluded lakeside estate is upended when they’re forced to share the mansion with a mysterious and attractive couple. A dream getaway spirals into a nightmarish maze of sex, lies, and manipulation, bringing terrifying secrets to light and triggering a bloody battle for survival.
Marco Pigossi (“Gen V”), Maddie Hasson (Malignant), Alex Roe (Rings), and Andra Nechita (Bad Teacher) star.
LD Entertainment (The Grey, The Collector) produces. Nick Matthews (Saw X) serves as director of photography.
Trace Thurman wrote in his review out of Fantastic Fest, “Bone Lake emerges as one of the biggest surprises of Fantastic Fest, operating as an incredibly entertaining thriller that doesn’t skimp on the gore or the laughs. It’s a goddamn blast from start to finish.”
Bone Lake has been rated “R” for strong bloody violence, grisly images, sexual content, graphic nudity, language throughout and some drug use.
