Tales from the Crypt revival set at TNT with M. Night Shyamalan

TNT has officially announced that they’re going to revive the fan-favorite horror anthology Tales from the Crypt, but there’s a… twist. The Sixth Sense writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, whose most recent horror hit The Visit brought in $97 million at the global box office, will executive produce the new series, which will be part of a new two-hour horror block of programming on the cable channel.

“I couldn’t be more excited to be teaming up with Kevin Reilly, Sarah Aubrey and the entire TNT team in this unique endeavor,” said Shyamalan. “To be part of such a beloved brand like Tales from the Crypt, something I grew up watching, and to also have the chance to push the boundaries of genre television as a whole, is an inspiring opportunity that I can’t wait to dive into.”

Shyamalan is joined by partner Ashwin Rajan who both produced the sleeper hit “Wayward Pines” on FOX last summer. In addition to Shyamalan and Rajan, James D. Stern (Looper) is executive-producing with his company Endgame Entertainment. Aloris Entertainment’s John Santilli (The English Teacher) and Dan McKinnon (Missing William) will also executive produce. TNT will announce the additional series to be featured in the horror block in the coming months.

Tolle Sache, nur ob M. Night Shyamalan so ein guter Showleader ist weiß ich noch nicht. Und schade das es keine HBO Serie mehr ist.

Also bei "Wayward Pines" hat er als Showleader einen guten Job gemacht, war imo sogar seine überzeugenste Arbeit (ich mag seine Filme überhaupt nicht - keinen von einen)

Ich finde, in dieser Funktion ist er grundsätzlich ziemlich gut aufgehoben. Auch steht ihm Horror einfach am besten. Und selbst regietechnisch erlebt er ja durch "The Visit" einen kleinen Aufwind.
