Fox and Dreamworks TV Order LOCK & KEY Television Pilot

Fox and Dreamworks TV have given a pilot order to Locke & Key, the mystery thriller based on a comic book by Joe Hill. If this sounds familiar, that's because the network already made a series committment on paper to the show last month, but the pilot order is the first offiical production step. Executive producers: Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Heather Kadin, Josh Friedman, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank and Ted Adam.

Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them…. and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all…! Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box) creates an all-new story of dark fantasy and wonder, with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez. Hill has received the Bram Stoker Award for Best Fiction Collection, the British Fantasy Award for Best Collection and Best Short Story, and the Sydney J. Bounds Best Newcomer Award-2007, among his growing collection of critical accolades.

The Walking Dead and now Locke & Key.  Enjoy it comic fans, we're firing on all cylinders and I don't know if can last.

AMC’s THE WALKING DEAD Picks Up a Second Season; Executive Producer Frank Darabont Talks Season Two

It was a damn good trailer. So damn good that it got the show a second season.  In spite of the fact that its pilot episode will not air until Halloween night, AMC’s zombie adaptation The Walking Dead (based on Robert Kirkman’s ongoing comic series) has already been picked up for a second season. From Empire [via Fangoria], the follow-up to the show’s six-episode first season will begin filming in February 2011 and will consist of thirteen episodes.

From Comic Book Movie, The Walking Dead Executive Producer Frank Darabont claims that he would love to capture on film “some of the environmental elements from volume 2 of Kirkman’s epic comic,” saying:

“It would be great not just to get out of the heat (season one was shot in Atlanta), but to present a different idea to the audience visually and tonally by having it be winter. There’s some really cool stuff that Kirkman did, where they find the one zombie that’s frozen to the ground. I’d never seen that before and that’s really cool.”

Darabont also discussed his excitement for potentially introducing one of his favorite characters from the comic in season two:

“…Or when Michonne shows up – and boy, is she a character I can’t wait to get to – when she comes striding out of the wasteland like a Clint Eastwood f***ing spaghetti western character cross-melded with some samurai movie, like the Baby Cart character with the f***ing sword, and there’s just a little drift of snow in the air. I would love to put that on film.” said Darabont.

I cannot wait until Halloween night to watch the television adaption of one my favorite books. The trailer, production pictures have all looked wonderful and really capture the spirit of the books.  Now, if we could just Y THE LAST MAN INVINCIBLE, EX MA CHINA and/or FABLES green-lit, television might be worth watching again.

Cartoon Network Reveals New Looney Toons

The full line up of new-look Looney Tunes has been unveiled from designer Jessica Borutski who redesigned them for the upcoming animated TV series for the Cartoon Network, The Looney Tunes Show. She writes;

"Here they are!! Man I had fun drawing these guys, I love this job SOOO MUCH!!Marisol and Petunia are my personal favorites.

I gave them slightly different proportions that emphasize things I always liked about the characters. An example is Bugs’ feet. I streamlined them and made them bigger. I thought it would look awesome in a walk cycle and be really fun to animate in general.
I spent six months creating a show bible…new turnarounds, notes and drawings showing the new designs…"

Telvisions of the Future According to Futurama

Only thing better than watching the new season of Futurama starting on June 24 would be the ability watch the new season of Futurama by staring at a floating television screen just as the crew of Planet Express is doing in this picture.

Gfest only hopes this technology can be developed sometime in the very near future and we don't have to be cryogenically frozen until the year 3000.  Althoiugh that would be pretty cool too.

Julie Bowen, the sexy mom, on ABC’s acclaimed comedy "Modern Family", has to be the coolest mom and actress in Hollywood.  

Last night she went on "Lopez Tonight", and when the topic of her two new babies came up, she showed a picture of them breast feeding.

The “Modern Family” star said she had taken the same picture onto her appearance at “The View,” but the ladies refused to air it.  Thank God George Lopez had no such problem on late night.  Click READ MORE to see the twins feeding the twins.

Season Finale of LOST Leaked Online!

Gfest loves LOST.  We've been watching since the very beginning trying to figure this show out.  We worship at the temple of EW's Doc Jensen every week.  Yet, we feel the dissapointment coming.  This isn't going to end well. You know it too. 

So, bitch all you want, but I for one appreciate the honesty of this leaked LOST season finale.
