28 Days of Geek Giving: Anywhere Key
Fans of the IDW Locke & Key series should be pretty excited about the next key to make its debut from Skelton Crew Studio. The Anywhere Key arrives in December, and is officially licensed and looks stunning. Measuring at 4.5-inches long, the key is cast in gold-plated zinc-aluminum, and comes in its own black velvet bag.

Locke & Key finds director and star
According to Deadline, Fox television has hired Miranda Otto to play Nina Locke, the mother in the Locke & Key television adaptation. Currently, Mark Romanek in talks to direct the pilot.
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…
Any movement on this project is good news, but in order for this to be a huge success, I think Fox needs to make sure all the horror and drama of the book makes it to screen.

Spielberg out, Locke moves to Fox
Last week we reported that Steven Spielberg was involved in an attempt to bring the IDW Publishing series Locke & Key to the small screen. As is often the case when early rumors start creeping out of H’wood, things are going to change. Today, Variety is reporting that Fox has snagged the rights to produce the Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodriguez tale and have committed to giving the book a series.
Locke & Key headed to the small screen
Maybe it is the time space continuum getting all warped, but I could have sworn that I already knew Locke & Key was getting the television treatment, much the same way The Walking Dead was headed to the small screen. Or maybe it is just because the book by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez is just so awesome I can’t fathom why no one snatched the series up earlier for development. In either case, Steven Spielberg, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci have plans to take the supernatural thriller and turn it a small screen series under Spielberg’s DreamWorks TV banner. Since DreamWorks is working with 20th Century Fox TV on this deal, expect the series to wind up on the Fox Network.
REVIEW: Locke & Key: Keys to the Kingdom #1
When it comes to telling a fantastic story, Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez have nailed it with Locke & Key. The key to the black door is the object of Lucas’ desire, allowing him to amass great power. There are many keys scattered through the grounds of the Keyhouse that can save the lives of the Locke children, and this issue sees the introduction of the Animal Key.
ME WANT: Locke and Key keys to be produced
IDW Publishing has announced that Skelton Key Studio has been given the exclusive license to create keys from the Locke and Key series.
Skelton Crew Studio (www.SkeltonCrewStudio.com), which previously designed the sold-out Ghost Key, will debut the Head Key in September through the Skelton Crew Studio Web site. Pre-orders for the Head Key start today, August 11, and all orders placed before September 2 will receive a little something extra: a Joe Hill autographed key tag. Then the new Echo Key will debut at the BangPop! Convention before also being available through the Skelton Crew Web site.
Kurtzman and Orci to adapt Locke & Key
According to Latino Review, the creative team of Kurtzman and Orci have picked up the rights to produce the movie adaptation of Joe Hill’s Locke and Key series. If you haven’t been reading the series since the beginning, you are missing out on one of the best comic books out there, and you’ll want to read this before going to see any movie based on the property. In regards to Kurtzman and Orci producing the movie? As long as they stay on the producing side of the fence and don’t try to write this themselves, it should be okay. The duo run hot and cold with me and with many audiences, who fell in love with Star Trek, but loathed Transformers II (among others). Let’s hope the producers play it wirte and actually high Joe to write the screenplay instead of someone else.
Review: Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows #2
One thing you can’t say about the Locke children, is that they are a nice and quite and stay out of trouble. The latest installment of Locke & Key arrived on my doorstep, and it’s time for the middle child to rebel and show us what she’s made of.
