[TV] “Weeds” Creator Developing “Salem” Series For HBO
After eight seasons on Showtime with “Weeds,” Jenji Kohan is headed for HBO.
The “Weeds” and “Orange Is the New Black” creator is developing a provocative period drama for the premium cable network, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
“The untitled Salem period drama explores the circumstances surrounding one of the most compelling chapters in American history, when intolerance and repression set neighbor against neighbor and led a town to mass hysteria.”
Kohan will pen the script with Bruce Miller and Tracy Miller. Kohan and Bruce Miller will also executive produce, while Tracy Miller will receive a supervising producer credit. The drama hails from Lionsgate TV, where Kohan is under an overall deal.
This new Salem project joins the rash of witch-themed series, including “American Horror Story: Coven,” “Witches of East End,” and the upcoming “Salem.”
While we wait for the remake starring Bill Skarsgård to hit theaters this summer, we’ve learned that the original adaptation of The Crow is headed back to theaters later this month.
Cinemark brings director Alex Proyas’ The Crow back to theaters for the classic movie’s 30th anniversary as part of the “Scream Greats” label from Paramount Scares and Fangoria.
You’ll be able to see The Crow up on the big screen at Cinemark theaters on two nights only: May 29 & May 30. Head over to Cinemark’s website to check local listings now.
In the 1994 movie starring the late Brandon Lee, Eric Draven’s fiancée is killed alongside Draven, setting the film’s revenge storyline into motion. It spawned a handful of sequels.
Cinemark previews the 30th anniversary event, “The modern-gothic original that entranced audiences and critics alike, The Crow tells the tale of a young musician brutally murdered alongside his beloved fiancée, only to be risen from the grave by a mysterious crow. Seeking revenge, he battles a criminal underground that must answer for its crimes.
“Adapted from the comic book saga of the same name, this action-packed thriller from director Alex Proyas (Dark City) features hypnotic style, dazzling visuals, and a soulful performance by the late Brandon Lee. Bonus content with the feature: Production designer Alex McDowell revisits the goth masterpiece, taking us on a deep dive covering all facets of designing the film.”
