Aug 24 | Vulture has learned that Joe Hill's comic Locke & Key will no longer be coming to theaters, but instead will be adapted for television by Steven Spielberg, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Josh Friedman. Distributed by IDW Publishing, 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. Friedman ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") will write and produce. Kurtzman and Orci recently signed a deal with 20th Century Fox TV, so the studio will end up producing with Spielberg's DreamWorks TV.

SF Gate posted a new video interview with Star Trek The Motion Picture star Stephen Collins, who played Commander Willard Decker in the 1979 Star Trek movie directed by Robert Wise. Here is an excerpt of the video interview.
Asked about his opinion on the new Star Trek movie, Mr Collins said "I loved it. This is weird, but I'm not really a Star Trek afficianado, and so I haven't seen a lot of the movies. But the new one, I think is just a terrific movie in every way. It's just a good movie on its own right. You have to have ever seen Star Trek to love (this one). I think Chris Pine is a huge find. J.J. Abrams just did an incredible job."
The full video interview is here.
