AMC Shares Photos from Joe Hill Adaptation “NOS4A2”
AMC shares new photos from their hotly anticipated supernatural fantasy horror drama “NOS4A2”, based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Joe Hill.
Set in blue-collar New England, “NOS4A2” follows the coming of age of Vic McQueen (Ashleigh Cummings) who discovers she has the power to find lost things. Her gift sets her on a collision course with Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto), a supernatural villain who abducts children in his mysterious Rolls Royce Wraith.
EW previously explained that Manx periodically rejuvenates by feeding on the life forces of children and transports them to a fantasy world he has created called Christmasland.
“In the journey they become these ghoulish creatures, and Charlie Manx is fed with vitality and youth,” Quinto told the site.
The pilot is set to premiere at the forthcoming SXSW Film Festival.
