AMC ‘Consumed’ by David Cronenberg’s Body Horror Novel!
Horror legend David Cronenberg’s novel “Consumed” is getting drama series treatment at AMC, Deadline reports.
“Fear The Walking Dead” showrunner Dave Erickson has teamed with “Lucifer” executive producer Sheri Elwood to develop the novel as an hourlong drama series for AMC, where Erickson is under an overall deal. Erickson and Elwood will pen the adaptation and showrun.
“Consumed”, which could be directed by Cronenberg, is described as a mind-bending psychological thriller that follows two journalists who set out to solve the cannibalistic murder of a controversial Parisian philosopher.
The book was published in 2014 by Charles Scribner’s Sons. Erickson and Elwood will executive produce with Cronenberg. Cronenberg’s longtime collaborator Robert Lantos of Serendipity Point, which produced Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises, will also executive produce.
Cronenberg is the king of body horror and has directed more than a handful of terrifying genre films from Shivers to Rabid, The Brood, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, Scanners, and The Fly.
With AMC’s “The Walking Dead” and “Preacher” they’ve shown there are no limitations to how far they’re willing to go, which bodes well for this adaptation.
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
