Posted December 25th, 2010 by Dirk Van Tilborg

FOX’s adaptation of IDW Publishing’s comic book ‘Locke & Key’ has cast Sarah Bolger (The Tudors, Iron Cross, The Spiderwick Chronicles, BioShock 2) as one of the young leads. The show has been given a series commitment by FOX and is being adapted by Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles).

The story follows Nina Locke (Miranda Otto) and her three children, Tyler, Kinsey (Bolger), and Bode as they try to recover from a tragedy by moving to a family house in Lovecraft, Massachusetts, which works as a portal to other dimensions.

Stephen King’s son, Joe Hill, created and wrote the original comic book this adaptation is based on.

After reading Jack Kirby’s Forever People and New Gods comic books and watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dirk was assimilated during first grade recess into the collective known as Science Fiction. Fueled by the visions of mad scientists such as Philip K. Dick and Frank Herbert, he has quietly searched the galaxy for the next BladeRunner, Brazil and Dark City. Born in San Francisco and currently enjoying a steampunk version of Ft. Lauderdale, when not grokking Science Fiction he spends his time with family and friends and just maybe trying to enter the dreams of disingenuous politicians.
