Atomic Monster’s own James Wan (“The Conjuring,” “Aquaman“) is looking to reboot something. Not that big of a surprise considering how many of the popular franchises are getting the once-again treatment. But what IS kind of exciting about his particular plan is the direction he wants to go in.
Classic tv series “The Munsters” has known it’s fair share of reboot attempts. There was a comedy attempt in 2017, Bryan Fuller‘s doomed “Mockingbird Lane” series pilot, and more recently, Rob Zombie‘s 2022 film. But this time, the take is going in a “darker” direction.
Called “1313,” (the address of the family’s gothic home on picturesque Mockingbird Lane), it isn’t clear if this will be a film or tv series. Lindsey Anderson Beer (“Pet Semetary: Bloodlines“) will reportedly showrun. Wan is developing the project along with Beer and Ingrid Bisu (“The Nun,” “Malignant“).
As this is in the early days, we don’t really know much about how tonally different “1313” will be from the other versions. But we’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
