Well, it appears as if the prayers of many a comic fan have finally been answered. The creepy and mysterious comic book series from IDW Publishing, Locke & Key, is in the throws of planning a feature film trilogy! I’ll give you a minute to regain your composure … good? Okay, me too. Here at Talking Comics we love comics a lot, but we’re also major fans of the silver screen. So every now and again we throw our casting director caps on and tell you who we’d like to see be a part of these exciting film projects.

And there you have it. I personally think my version of Locke & Key would be pretty bad ass. And now that I’ve read the first two volumes of the series I can tell you straight up that I’m super excited to see how this film project develops. With any luck we’ll wind up with a frightening PG-13 to R rated adaption that stays true to the source material. Unfortunately, at this time there really aren’t any concrete details about the film series, but you know what that means, don’t you? It means that I still have a chance at getting my cast into the film and they can cut me a big fat consultants check. Maybe? Right? Oh, hush.
