It’s being reported by Deadline that horror legend Wes Craven (A Nightmare On Elm Street, Scream, The Last House On the Left) has signed a first-look deal with Universal Cable Productions to bring two new TV series’ to cable, something we exclusively reported back in September.
Both shows will be projects for Syfy, with the first based upon Daryl Gregory’s book “We Are All Completely Fine”. It tells the story of, “…enigmatic psychologist, Dr. Jan Sayer, who gathers survivors of five horror movie scenarios in a support group – and unwittingly unlocks the evils of her patients’ pasts. As their traumas are brought back to the surface, they uncover which monsters they face are within… and which are lurking in plain sight.”
Craven will write the script and direct the pilot episode!
In even cooler news, the second project is a series based upon Craven’s 1991 movie The People Under The Stairs that began, “When a young woman goes missing at the grand Robeson Family Manor, her search unveils the centuries-old horrors that lie deep within the estate.” Craven will be the executive producer on this show.
In addition to these two shows, Craven will be executively producing “Disciple”, a sci-fi horror based upon an upcoming graphic novel from Steve Niles. The show is set, “…in the near future where the ultra-wealthy have become true Masters of the Universe colonizing moons throughout the solar system. One colonist, McCauley Richmond, has built a new society on Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter, where his flocks of cultists worship him. Three “deep-space” private eyes have been hired by a high-ranking Senator to venture out to Ganymede and retrieve his teenage daughter who’s been brainwashed into joining Richmond’s cult.”
Alright everyone, which of these sounds the most interest to you?
