ME WANT: The Chain Key
I have been buying up the Locke & Key replica keys from Skelton Crew Studio for some time, and love the crafting and detail in each. There are a couple of new keys on the way, and we’ve got an early look at the Chain Key.
TELEVISION: Locke & Key heading to MTV?
It’s a big stretch to take the small tidbits of information from the Deadline website and turn that into a full fledged claim that MTV is interested in producing the Locke & Key television series, but the Intardwebz is all hot over this, so why not go along with the crowd, offering our own information? According to the article, a DVD screener of the pilot was sent to MTV programming chief David Janollari, who apparently liked it. And who wouldn’t have you seen the trailer? It’s awesome!
Other than the DVD screener that was sent from Fox to Janollari, there has been no other movement, and I doubt anything will happen.
REVIEW: Locke & Key: Clockworks #2
Things are always darkest before the dawn, and for the Locke kids, things are looking pretty dark right now. IDW Publishing’s Locke & Key: Clockworks #2 arrived this week and the dark corners of the Major Spoilers HQ are just a bit scarier now.
TRAILER: Locke & Key
While I’m really disappointed that Fox decided to pass on the Locke & Key series, at least we get to see what might have been in this newly uncovered trailer for the failed series.

SDCC’11: Plenty of Locke and Key action at San Diego
Press Release
LOCKE & KEY is taking San Diego Comic-Con by storm in July. Centered at the IDW booth #2643, the LOCKE & KEY action will be non-stop, with exclusive keys, books and temporary tattoos; plus signings with the multiple Eisner-nominated creative team of Joe Hill (Horns) and Gabriel Rodriguez. On Friday, attendees will have a chance to see the pilot everyone is talking about, as Hill and Rodriguez headline the panel and are joined by Locke & Key television writer Josh Friedman for an only at Comic-Con screening of the Locke & Key pilot. With thanks to Fox Broadcasting Corporation, details for the screening and panel are listed below.
ME WANT: Hercules Key pre-orders open
Skelton Crew Studio has announced it is accepting pre-orders for the Hercules Key, part of the company’s line of Locke & Key key replicas.
The Hercules Key is straight out of the pages of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s amazing “Locke & Key” published by IDW. This officially licensed replica measures approx. 3.6-inches long.
Cast in antique gold-plated pewter, this limited edition variant is packed in a printed black velvet bag with a hand numbered tag, one of 1,000.
The Hercules Key is shown with other keys for scale only.
Not guaranteed to get you out of that gym membership.
The key will set you back $25.00, and they are a unique piece of comic book ephemera that really show you are a fan of the IDW Publishing series.
TELEVISION: Locke & Key to screen at Comic-Con
Here is some good news for those who were disappointed that Fox passed on the Locke & Key television series – you get to see the pilot! The bad news? You have to be at the Locke & Key panel at the San Diego Comic Con.
“This one-time-only screening of the entire pilot will show you just what a void there will be on your TVs this fall,” IDW’s ad materials say. Locke & Key, directed by Mark Romanek and starring Miranda Otto and Nick Stahl, was one of the highest-profile pilots this past season.
You can thank IDW Publishing for going directly to 20th Century Fox seeking permission to screen the pilot. The event takes place July 22, at 10:30 AM in Room 8 and 9. If enough of you show up express your support for the show, perhaps, just perhaps the network will listen and bring the show back from the dead. Of course, this is Fox we’re talking about…
TELEVISION: Sad news, everyone… Locke & Key gets passed over
I can not believe that the networks have passed on the television adaptation of Locke & Key. The early word on the un-aired (and never to be seen) pilot was very good, but apparently someone higher up decided to give the series a pass, and that is really bad. With Smallville going off the air, Locke & Key could have swooped in to grab the audience with an awesome series.
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Fox passed on this series… that network hasn’t listened to fan for years. This kind of news makes it easier and easier for me to give up on cable all together.
