AMC Working on a Series Based on Joe Hill’s NOS4A2

Published

on

Novelist Joe Hill is the son of horror icon Stephen King, and he’s definitely inherited the family talent. His novel NOS4A2 (a play on Nosferatu) has been picked up by AMC for a ten-episode series, due out in 2019.

The story follows Victoria McQueen, a woman with a knack for finding things. As a child, she escaped the clutches of a ‘man’ named Charles Manx, a man who scoops up children and whisks them away to a place he calls Christmasland in order to devour their souls. Now, as an adult, Victoria must find and face Manx again, as he’s returned and has snatched away none other than her own son.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Hill will be co-producer, alongside Jami O’Brian (Fear the Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels), and Lauren Corrao, the co-president of Tornante Television.

“I couldn’t be more excited about the forthcoming adaptation of NOS4A2, I know it’s in good hands with showrunner Jami O’Brien: Her beautifully composed scripts show a writer at the height of her powers, one who has an exquisite touch with character and a relentless instinct for suspense. AMC’s record speaks for itself: Who wouldn’t want to be in business with the Mad Men who Broke Bad and made The Dead Walk? And Tornante’s dedication to bringing singular visions to TV has freed everyone involved to do their best and truest work.” Hill said of the project.

This isn’t Hill’s first time seeing one of his works get the adaptation treatment. His second novel, Horns, was turned into a movie in 2013 starring Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe.

Considering the pedigrees of all those involved in the project already, it’s likely we can look forward to an intense, thrilling, and terrifying series that many fans of horror, and Hill, will love.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
