Sarah Bolger joins Locke and Key – based on Joe Hill’s Comic

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are the brilliant minds behind great television series and films such as Fringe, Transformers, Star Trek, and Alias. Now they are hard at work to develop a show for Fox based on the popular comic book Locke and Key by Joe Hill. It was October when we first made the announcement that the project was green lit.

Deadline.com reports that Sarah Bolger (The Tudors, The Spiderwick Chronicles) has joined the cast of the pilot episode. The pilot will:

[Tell] the story of Nina Locke (Miranda Otto) and her three children, Tyler, Kinsey (Bolger), and Bode, who survive an unspeakable horror and attempt to rebuild their lives at Keyhouse, their family home in Lovecraft, Massachusetts. It is a mysterious New England mansion, with fantastic and transformative keys hidden inside its walls that are also being sought by a hate-filled and relentless creature with ties to the Locke family’s past who will stop at nothing to accomplish his sinister goals. The athletic middle child Kinsey, played by Bolger, is unhappily uprooted to her dad’s family home by her mom after he is brutally murdered. Josh Friedman wrote the pilot, with Mark Romanek directing.
