You Mean Locke & Key’s Not About Two Spies Named Locke and Key?
Well, it’s news to me. So suffice it to say that I didn’t take the news that the Locke & Key pilot (based on the IDW comic) didn’t get picked up by Fox that badly. Still, I know the comic has its fans, so maybe this long-awaited trailer for the show will be some consolation. Personally, it does nothing for me — it looks like The Shining starring the Ring girl but in a house instead of a hotel — but I understand some people don’t love Tron unconditionally, so I guess it really does take all kinds. Thanks to Douglas O. for the tip. (Via Comics Alliance)
