FOX has released a poster for their upcoming show “Lucifer“, the series based on the Vertigo comic created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg, and it’s rather uninspired. It shows the main character Lucifer Morningstar (played by Tom Ellis) standing in front of a neon sign that says his name. Oh, but the “U” was turned into devil horns that perfectly line up with his head. And the tagline is “Hot as Hell”.
Look, I’ve been trying to be a bit more positive about the work that people put into their creative craft. But this? This is lazy, cheap, and so, so obvious.
“Club owner Lucifer Morningstar sees a young pop star gunned down outside of his club and feels the need to bring her killers to justice. He is joined by an LAPD homicide detective (Lauren German) and his best friend (Lesley-Ann Brandt).”
The show’s executive producer is Jerry Bruckheimer and the pilot will be directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld).
The show will be premiering this January.
