Report: NBC to Air Mockingbird Lane Pilot as Standalone Halloween Special
Mockingbird Lane, the pilot which was to be the premiere of NBC’s rebooted Munsters series, instead will air as a Halloween special on Friday, Oct. 26 at 8/7 before Grimm, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Rumors about the potential series’ demise have been around for weeks; as recently as Wednesday, writer/producer Bryan Fuller took to Twitter to say the project still had a pulse.
But THR reports that Fuller and director Bryan Singer had different visions for the $10 million pilot, and in the end, the network didn’t love the finished product. Complicating matters, Fuller is now committed to stewarding NBC’s midseason drama Hannibal, as well.
However, according to an insider, if the special does well in the ratings NBC may go ahead and order it to series.
NBC has billed Mockingbird Lane as “a visually spectacular one-hour drama” based on the 1960s sitcom. It stars Jerry O’Connell as Herman Munster, Portia de Rossi as his wife Lily and Eddie Izzard as Grandpa.<\i>
Isn't he a bit too "short" to play "Herman"...???
ReplyDeleteBeen hearing a lot about this today. Sorta lukewarm on how excited I am for the whole thing, but I'll definitely be tuning in to see it. I agree with Dr. Theda that O’Connell seems an "odd" choice for Herman. :/
ReplyDeleteHe's not Frankenstein's Monster in this, just a flesh eating zombie with a glamour spell on him
