  • Oh.. the comic books are amazing. This is the most compelling series I have read since The Sandman. And, if you know anything about comic books, you know that this is extremely high praise. It's too bad that no channel has picked this up. I'd love to see it.

  • there is no way they should turn his ito anothhr teen-centric tv show. This looks absolutely horrible. If anything I could see this wonderful comic turned into maybe 3 films but certainly not this garbage

  • Joe Hill.... who is actually Joe King, who is the son of stephen king... but he's actually better than his father, and over time as his library of written books increases people will begin to see that. I am SO ANGRY that this show was vanished. I hope if they don't whip this out later, that someone else will use it to make a new show, because the material is very very good. The graphic novels and/or trades are amazing! anyhoo... that's my 2 cents.

  • its clear why they didn't pass it the trailer shows they just couldn't capture the essence of the prolific comic, which is a shame cause a good series for this would have been like the walking deads tv show for its epicness.

  • I love Joe Hill, as a writer, and Ksenia Solo, as a work of art - where can I watch this??

  • omg i love these comics, i didn't know they were going to make a show out of them! i can't believe fox passed on it, it would've been awesome

    even though i dont really like the kid they cast as bode, bode seemed more mature in the books

  • id watch it jus bcus of jesse :D

  • I love the comics, but not this trailer. At all. Dodge was just ridiculous. The mother was completely off, she's supposed to be a mess in the comics, but in here she's just the standard middle-age mother, no wounds at all from her ordeal. And it didn't have anything close to the great atmosphere of the comics. Here's hoping it was just a poorly made trailer and doesn't reflect the rest of the series...

  • OK, I understand it's hard to find a house that looks lake the Keyhouse, but finding an actresses that match Nina and Kinsey? Damn, Kinsey was ma favorite character and here she doesn't look like her, it sucks. Lets hope another station will make this production happen and change the actors that do not fit in.

  • Arrrrgh! Why must FOX shit over absolutely everything it touches!?

    I swear there is a retarded baboon in an office at FOX who's making decisions about cancellations. There is no other explanation for things like this.

  • Fox decided to pick it up. The pilot will air midseason 2012 along with some other shows fox is coming out with

  • @jennaluvsmike Really?

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, Dodge (Ksenia Solo) isn't working. Her acting is pretty bad in this trailer and she doesn't have that "sharp" face that Dodge has in the comic.

    I still hope this gets picked up. It's a great comic series and it's a shame people may not know about it. More of a shame that 99% of shows are lame.

  • its funny when the top comment is spelled wrong!

  • This show needs to be picked up and put on television immediately!

  • Can i just say i have read the series and i have not seen one vampire and also its not about the ghost its about the omega key and the rest of the keys and the black door

  • I don't have much time. I... I've managed to escape from MOVIESRCOOL and FLICKDATABASE's torture chambers. I don't think I can put into words the atrocities I've seen over the past few months. Men reduced to.... inhuman husks of their former selves! I was forced to watch as my own best friend, once full of joy and kindness, had his soul removed only to become a robotic follower of MOVIESRCOOL's cultlike beliefs. I don't know how long it will be before they find me.

  • @BrosephGreyson ...but if my message can help even one person, I know my death will not be in vain. Our ability for free thought is what makes us human. Though I doubt I will live long enough to see the fight taken to them, please, do not let MOVIESRCOOL take that away! Stand up and join the resistance, brothers and sisters! We fight as one.

  • I liked the comics

  • I've always had high hopes for this pilot, also cause I wanted to see Jesse McCartney back on TV (he's got so much potential) but now I think that it wouldn't have been a big success anyway. I mean, there's American Horror Story for haunted hauses and ghosts and it's a smashing hit so I'm not sure that this would be able to compete against it. People don't want to see double, they'd choose.

  • @ShannonMaggie91 I don't think people would necessarily choose. There are a lot of shows on right now that have similar themes. There are a ton of vampire shows on for example and they're all doing reasonably well. I would expect this show to be a hit if it is similar to AHS.

  • Jesse McCartney is lookin fine and very very hot

  • please don't let cw get it. It will probably get low ratings if they do give it to the cw.

  • Yes! Jesse McCartney Is So Hawt!!!

  • This series looks awsome!! Joe Hill is an amazing writer!! the only books i've ever read actually cause i hate to read!! but i would love to see all his work in tv or movie form. There all worth it. This trailer looks sick!! I'm surprised with the success of american horror story that fox wouldn't air this as tv series or mini series whatever. Fox you suck!!!!!!

  • so they didnt show the movie because they want to make it into a series right?

  • Fox should have never passed on this show! It looks really interesting!

  • Given the garbage that Fox is carrying (everything not on Sunday night) - have to wonder who's making their decisions.

  • i hope someone picks this up!!!

  • I want to see the rest now...someone need to pick this up asap.

  • i confirm, stream on boorek works fine

  • I wish AMC or some other network would pick this up.

  • Dont give up, you can see it online, try on DOLPHINTALEMOVIE. TK .works great, great quality

  • do it online, try stream on DOLPHINTALEMOVIE. TK very good quality!

  • Anyone know if the entire pilot is available anywhere?

  • The comics was much, much better...

  • id say this series would make a better movie than a show like the next twilight or harry potter saga

  • Why can't I find the 'post a video response' button???

  • damn jesse 

  • Ksenia Solo! :D

  • Comment removed

  • @WhisperingLullabies is it though?? i know imdb says so, but to me this looks more like Rooney Mara then ksenia

  • @Pumpkin141 though does sound like her, probs just the makeup that threw me off lol it's the lack of eye liner haha

  • It seems like this could never really be made into a show, I mean, in just the first book there are several brutal murders.

  • Miranda Otto as Nina Locke?! It would be a better decision to take Noomi Rapace for this character.

  • Comment removed

  • @skylady101 it's a tv show and even if any of the networks ever did pick it up, unfortunately Jesse probably wouldn't be able to be it because his new album is (hopefully) going to come out in 2012. And his and the others actors contracts expired in July.... :( I really wish he would do some more acting though...

  • @TheJennStewart : Aww, he's such a very talented actor, I've watched Summerland and all, I even surfed through youtube and watch him on 'All my children' and I think he really- seriously must ACT!!!

  • The only reason for me to watch this movie is because of Jesse McCartney!

    I will surely vote for this! I love Jesse!!!

  • YESSS I'M WATCHING THISS JUST BECAUSE OF JESSE MCCARTNEY! ! ! ! ! !

  • I'll be watch this film only because of Jesse ♥

  • ..WAHHH I WANT THIS TO BE PICKED UP BY MTV.

  • jesse mccartney!! you are way too HOTT <3<3

  • holy crap why wasn't this picked up? This looks like it would've been amazing! D=

  • This could've been a great tv show.wELL! We still have the comics though :D

  • my one problem is that ty doesnt have his hat :/

  • The only reason im watching this when it comes out is ONLY FOR JESSE MCCARTNEY!

  • It is physically impossible to produce the amount of tears necessary to convey how... sad I am that this will never happen. Hearing the plans they had for the series didn't make it any better.

  • JESSE MCARTNEY!

  • is that Miranda Otto, who plays the mother? And, by the way, the music at the end is taken from M. Night Shyamalan`s "Signs". But the trailer is very good.

  • Didn't see the Sam giving blowjobs to truck drivers, or murdering people. Neh not interested looks like it's focused mostly on Bode needs more Tyler.

  • @WarrenBey The scene where they are pounding on the door at the end = the scene when Sam traps them , the neck Dodge is snapping is Sam also, they just kept it ( and lots of other stuff) outta the trailer, which is nice, cause it seems Spoilery, unless you've read the books and know there's SO much more going on between these scenes.

  • @WarrenBey also at 1:47 that's Sam braining Kinsey with a flashlight

  • Kinda glad Fox didn't get it, hope they still selling it to other networks , preferably somewhere it will last til the books end.

  • Just saw the pilot at NYCC, it was amazing, its a shame they didn't make a whole series.

  • 1:22

    Swing away Meryl...

  • Thumb Up if you think Nick Stahl should be the next Bruce Banner after The Avengers.

  • When Locke & Key was initially optioned, talks swirled of the story being adapted into a movie, which it should've been in my opinion. Then FOX consulted with Steven Spielberg, who thought it might be better served as a TV series. Bad idea. To let this man anywhere near a talented story such as this, was a huge mistake. Let's be honest, since Jurassic Park what has he done other than pin his name on projects as a producer? Steven, go away and take your shitty advice with you.

  • lame. And lol at all you bubble heads.

  • Jesse McCarteny dies in the series?

  • The Locke & Key pilot is going to be shown at The New York Comic-Con this friday Oct 14th at noon for anyone who's interested.

    I can't believe all the videos and hype about this silly cancelled Wonder Woman TV series :-P

    but not hardly a mention about Locke & Key, go figure.

  • Would Dodge have stayed a lady in this show? I can't help but wonder how they would have pulled that off.

  • @MrPatrick1980 Joe Hill said in an interview that the gender key was just that: giving rise that FOX would've cast a male actor for Dodge's other half, not a cross-dressing key.

  • MTV said they're thinking about picking it up it was on Jesse McCartney's facebook page this morning

  • Why, why would you pass it? You're crazy right? It's shame. Oh, and Ksenia Solo is one of the most promising young actresses I've seen in a long time.

  • @ThexFaLLeNz Ksenia Solo nailed the role of Dodge, bringing off the attractive darkness and manipulative behavior that is the comic character.

  • You would think that Universal NBC would jump on it and air it on Chiller

  • Why would Fox pass on this? Damn Nazi bastards!

  • I love the comics so i would be so happy if this was actually picked up and given a real chance to show how awesome it could be..

  • I think it looks lame, the comic is so much darker, and creepier, where as this just looks campy, but also toned down, just my OPINION though.

  • This has more a film-like feel to it as opposed to a television series.

  • G4tv grow some balls and air this pilot!!!

  • oh come on! air it already someone! :((

  • I'll also be a viewer when and if it comes on, this thing needs to hit at least a 100k before year ends, keep it up.

  • this series would rock..... FOX SUCKS!

  • Love the books, but the trailer makes it look terrible. I'm confident that they've taken the base premise of the magic keys, sucked all the intellect and fear and believability right out of the characters that hold it all together, and turned it into a stale, poorly-executed magic story for thirteen-year-old girls.

    If you MUST make this great comic story into a mediocre television series, let's at least hire some good actors and get their hairstyles right, please.

  • @VysetheTard Did you even see the pilot? Both Sarah Bolger and Jesse McCartney, yes him, delivered powerful and moving performances, so much so I thought the comic characters came alive and jumped right off the page.

  • @timba11

    In that case, they must've cherry-picked the most cliched and least appropriate snippets to showcase in this trailer.

    Most of Locke & Key wasn't (and still isn't) about screaming and throwing hissy fits and knocking food off of tables - and whenever it does get like that, a character usually dies. The appeal of the books is watching the characters quietly warring with feelings of uncertainty, isolation, guilt, and crumbling innocence, and doing it in a way that's believable.

  • @VysetheTard In the throes of a horrific tragedy, the underlying emotional theme of Locke & Key is about children finding themselves. That said, grieving comes in various stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance—and to suggest that teenagers, struggling to cope with the loss of a parent should be limited to only mourning in a quiet manner is unrealistic. This Joe Hill is aware, and his characters evoke real kids with flaws, who express themselves in all manners, even outwardly.

  • @timba11

    "That said, grieving comes in various stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance—and to suggest that teenagers, struggling to cope with the loss of a parent should be limited to only mourning in a quiet manner is unrealistic."

    But that's just how they did it in the comic, for the vast majority of the time.

    I think a thrown plate and an angry shout occurred just once in the entire first collected edition. Why's that sort of thing so much more prevalent in the trailer?

  • @VysetheTard "I think a thrown plate and an angry shout occurred just once in the entire first collected edition."

    —And both of those expressions are in the pilot episode, which is comprised of the entire first arc of the L&K graphic novel, or "first collected edition" as you choose to call it.

  • @timba11

    "And both of those expressions are in the pilot episode,"

    It's got those scenes, along with a whole lot MORE yelling and blind rage. And actors who don't remotely match the looks of the characters (considering how much detail Rodriguez put into those characters, there's no excuse). It leaves me with the idea that the show would be high on production values and low on thought.

    And yes, I called it the "first collected edition" instead of a "graphic novel". Let's not get catty, okay?

  • @VysetheTard Actually, I was citing "first arc" to your "first collected edition"...no matter. I think if you watched the pilot episode you might change your mind. Maybe you wouldn't. Whatever our differing views though, it appears we hold a similar passion for the L&K story, want to see it get the proper adaptation it deserves, until then, at least we have the graphic novel.

  • FX should have picked this up and paired it with American Horror Story on Wednesdays to have a haunted house night. Alas, it shall never be.... :(

  • oh my gosh Ksenia!! <3 :D

  • They could make a movie of each book, witouthc taking out any part, i mean, if watchmen (12 issues) were done in 3 hours, what stops a filmmaker to do each L&K book (6 issues) in a 1, 30 hour movie?

    Sorry if i made any grammar mistakes, i'm from Colombia..

  • @leebedon L&K isn't 6 issues...it will total 6 arcs (6 issues per each arc), when completed. Josh Friedman—screenwriter— was able to fit almost the entire first arc (6 issues) into the Pilot, but that made up roughly 45 min. of film. So even if the graphic novel were adapted to the big screen, a 2.5-3 hr run-time would be seemingly required for each movie, allowing the story to be told fully.

  • 1:19 scared to shit outta me... anyways this should be a movie!!!

  • @Watchmedoaflip1 Agreed. Although to do the L&K source material justice, it would have to encompass a couple films.

  • I hope somebody picks this up, I would love to watch it, Scary.

  • does anyone knw when it comes on tv

  • I Hope That Some Network Would Put Tis On TV !! It Looks Sucha Exiting Series + No Wonder Fox Didn't Air This, Cuz When It Comes To Picking The Worse Tv Shows, Fox Is THE BEST in It !!!

  • I hope they don't put this on tv

    The comic books are so good tv will just make it suck and ruin everything

  • oh man come on.. this could be more sucsessful than teen wolf.. come ooon

  • @AnarchistSerpent Damn, it's like you used the head key on me and pulled out my exact thought. Well done.

  • If Jesse McCartney in it .. It's gonna be a major hit

  • that show looks kinda good

  • i hope someone picks this up. This looks like it will be a good show. I would definitely watch this if it goes on air!!

  • I think Canada's Space network and which ever network in the USA that's like space should pick this series up. It would be a hit for sure.

  • I WANT THIS SHOW ON AIR !

  • shoulda been at HBO or AMC, they get it

  • Looks amazing but I read that on June 30th the actors' options expired. I don't wanna watch this with any other cast but the ones that shot the original pilot. I could suck it up and deal with a recast of anyone except Nick Stahl, Miranda Otto, and Ksenia Solo. If they're not in it I'm not watching it.

  • omg, this looks AMAZING!!!

  • send it to amc they will take it.

  • @roarschach1 "F" that! AMC doesn't have the budget or creative foresight for a project like this. Not to mention they just fired Frank Darabont, a good friend of Joe Hill and his father Stephen King, so I imagine that wouldn't go over well. Fox made sense. Hopefully they reconsider, and turn it into a mini-series or make a couple movies out of it.

  • It look great!

  • meh. production value looked too cheap for the story, no great loss.

  • A travesty that this didn't get picked up. Best comic book of the last few years. WHat's that last bit of dialogue? "I assure you, I'm real." and then there's a line after that that I can't make out....

  • @WhyTheHorseface "...and this I promise."

  • Comment removed

  • Jesse mccartney..<3

  • Perhaps SY FY or whatever it is called will at least air the pilot --will be nice to see something that is not  a CGI monster on the channel

  • Thank you Fox, for not picking this up, what with your history of canceling wonderful genre shows that you just don't get.

    Hopefully, this amazing looking series will be on a network that will appreciate and cultivate it.

  • Mark Romanek (the director) recently tweeted that this trailer was cut by FOX before the VFX special effects were finished: so the coolest parts of the pilot aren't even in this engaging spot. One of which is the scene where Bode, the little boy, turns into a ghost.

  • Man fox you guys are smart thanks for putting a show that could top your ratings higher than ever down the drain.

  • Omg. I NEED to at least see the full dang PILOT....!!!!

  • Um. I cannot BELIEVE fox didn't pick this show up. lol

  • It dosen't have the feel the comic has, I mean the kids look emo, ty looks weak and the sister looks like a cheerleader, but then it might be good to tell you the truth it's good the way it is in comic form.

  • This looks like a big budget mess. Not surprised Fox didn't gamble on it. This trailer makes it look like Narnia, but then doesn't know what tone it wants to be.

  • I'm glad FOX didn't pick this show up. They tend to murder a lot of their shows without even finishing the first season or not advertising for them enough. I really hope another creditable network will pick the show up like AMC or FX.

  • I really wanna know if someone could make a subtitle...

  • This looks very good. Not too many prime time shows have elements of horror.

  • Ugh I just want my favorite comic book to come to life on my television. is that so hard to ask for?

  • Fucking Fox

  • Anyone who wanted fox to pick this up is silly. It would just be canceled after perhaps not even a single season. Since when has fox ever made any good decisions regarding what shows to keep or not. Be glad fox didn't pick this up maybe someone else will.

  • A network needs to pick this up and give it a chance. I could see it on AMC which has another good comic book series The Walking Dead.

  • Damn I really want to see this. It looks innovative and refreshing. Plus it has Nick Stahl who I absolutely loved in Carnivale. Fuck you Fox.

  • this is gonna be so amazing

  • @RiCoHeTMcQuEeN Thank you. I hate when I recognize music from movies and can't figure out where its from

  • Please Please Please Please someone make this show!!!!

  • wow how did this not get picked up? Maybe it cost two much to produce

  • @kashanti1 yes...that's one of the reasons.

  • You suck FOX. But then, you should know that. I refuse to watch shows on your network because you always cancel the good ones--and in this case, never even gave it a chance. Syfy or The CW should think about piicking this up... Looks good!

  • so the shinning meets the ring sort of thing ehhhh hmmm

  • Curse you, Fox!!! Seriously though, according to this trailer, I've been saying Bode's name wrong in my head since I started reading the series... Interesting.

  • and this is not coming on FOX.........WTF!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!! i think what i saw here it looked really good. now i guess we're stuck with House, The Simpson, Family Guy, and Hell's Kitchen. Damn you FOX, u passed up on a really good hit.
